Each week, IHSA coaches around the state submit to us their nominations for the PBR Illinois Player of the Week and PBR Illinois Pitcher of the Week honors. Following that announcement, our staff publishes the nominees who fell just short of that week's POTW honor inside of the 'Diamond Notes,' which is made live every Friday.

Coaches, if you are interested in submitting a nomination for one of next week's awards, please nominate a player by emailing PBR Illinois Scouting Director Drew Locascio at [email protected]. Please include relevant statistics, program records, clutch moments, etc. along with your nomination to help highlight why the player is deserving of consideration for either POTW award, as well as inclusion within the weekly Diamond Notes. Please note, we're only able to consider and accept nominations from IHSA coaches.

Below, you'll find the Diamond Notes published from each of week of the IHSA season so far:
