Diamond Notes: Week of March 21 - 27
March 30, 2022
Diamond Notes is a weekly compilation of notes on North Carolina players from last week. Each week Coaches from across the state send in player notes and stats as the PBR staff is working to name a PBR Player of the Week. PBR scouts are also compiling player notes from attended games, as well as box scores from across the state.
Below we take a look at some of the top performers from the second week of the high school season. The NC Pitcher of the Week was Cameron Burgess from South Brunswick. Judd Utermark from Charlotte Christian received the Player of the Week honors.
