Who should be the Mississippi High School On SI baseball player of the week? / High School On SI

We continue our player of the week polls for high school baseball in Mississippi, and this week we have another stellar crop of players who put on tremendous performances for their respective teams from games played from February 16-21.

Our list of nominees include some solid pitching performances, but this week's poll is highlighted by players who found immense success hitting the long ball. With that being said, it will be a difficult decision to determine who will be this week's player of the week

As always, we ask you, the fans, to vote for who you think is the High School on SI Mississippi high school baseball player of the week.

Send future player of the week nominations to reed_green1582@hotmail.com or reach out to him on X at @reed_green7.

Voting will close on March 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
