Prep Baseball Report

Player of the Week: Michael Crayton


Brandon Hall
Mid-Atlantic Executive Director

Player of the Week nominations are submitted by High School coaches across North Carolina each week.  Along with the nominations, Prep Baseball Report is diving into box scores, talking to coaches and scouts, and attending as many games as possible.

PBR's staff sifts through the information sent in and seen by our scouts to determine the PBR Player of the Week every Tuesday.  You can see a full list of players off to a hot start in Diamond Notes, a collection of notes, stats, and highlights from the past week, published every Wednesday during the season.

For the Week of May 17 – 23, 2021, Michael Crayton (2021, RHP) from West Stanly HS has been named the PBR North Carolina Player of the Week.  Michael has been a consistent mainstay this season, already working to throw 1 complete game no-hitter and work 6 innings in a combined no-hitter.  This week he was just about as good, working 4 dominant innings, giving up just 1 hit while striking out 8.  He also handled the bat, helping his own cause, going 4-5 in two games with a double, 2 runs and 5 RBI.

Still uncommitted, Crayton has dominated on the mound the last three weeks.  He has earned 3 wins, working 17 innings.  In that time he has given up 1 hit, 0 runs, 3 walks, while striking out 33.

Congrats to Michael Crayton, the PBR of North Carolina Player of the Week
