Indiana's Player of the Year in 2019 was Andrean's Michael Doolin. Doolin, currently a freshman right-hander at Vanderbilt, was one of the most dominant arms in Indiana the last two year's. He helped lead the 59ers to 3A state titles both as a Junior and Senior. In those two years he went a combined 25-1 with 260 strikeouts and an ERA under 0.50.

Doolin has led Andrean to consecutive 3A state championship games. He helped the 59ers win it all last year as Junior and will have a chance to do it again on Tuesday, June 18 as Andrean takes on Edgewood in this year’s 3A title game.  On the mound, the statistics are unbelievably gaudy, winning 13 games without a loss.  In 70 innings, Doolin has given up just 26 hits and 4 earned runs, leading to an ERA of 0.40.  With a WHIP of just .529, Doolin piled up the strikeouts, punching out 116 batters. Doolin is also a big contributor to the 59ers offense as he is currently hitting .449 with 4 HR, 7 2B and 38 RBI. 

Michael Doolin’s all-around performance, as well as the impact he has had on Andrean High School, has earned him the 2019 Prep Baseball Report Indiana Player of the Year honors. 

Michael Doolin has been selected by the staff of Prep Baseball Report of Indiana.  The team of PBR area scouts who covered the high school baseball season throughout the spring selected Doolin amongst a strong group of candidates from across the state.
