High School On SI

Florida high school baseball is ongoing and so continues our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams showcased what they’ve got during this past week of district tournament games

As such, we have 10 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s North Suncoast Baseball Player of the Week award from April 14-April 19, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.

Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.

Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, April 27. The winner will be announced in the following week’s poll. Here are this week's nominees:
