Bryce Chatman, Stepinac

The Crusaders' third baseman batted .571 for the week, with a home run, two RBIs, three runs scored and two stolen bases, as Stepinac picked up wins over Fordham Prep and Cardinal Hayes.

Tyler DeBrocky, Mahopac

DeBrocky was big on the mound and at the plate. He pitched 10 total innings across games against Arlington and Horace Greeley, tallying 15 strikeouts, while giving up four walks and no hits. He appeared in relief against Arlington, then closed out the week with a complete-game no-hitter against Greeley, where he had 11 strikeouts and two walks. DeBrocky also batted .400 for the week, with a home run (also against Greeley), and four RBIs.

Nick Fassert, John Jay-Cross River

Fassert came up big in the Wolves' 2-0 week, which included a pair of league wins over Brewster. He went 3-for-3 at the plate, with two runs and two walks in a game that would be suspended in extra innings and finished on Saturday, where the Wolves got the victory and Fassert would earn his eighth win of the season as pitcher in a shutout inning in relief. In a second meeting with Brewster on Wednesday, Fassert was effective at the plate and on the mound. He pitched a complete game and got 15 strikeouts in the 9-1 win. He also went 3-for-4 at the plate with four RBIs.

Jordany German, Port Chester

The Port Chester ace threw 12 tough innings on the mound and didn't give up any earned runs this past week. He tallied 24 strikeouts and just four walks over his two appearances, which included a no-decision in league games against Horace Greeley and Lincoln. German started his week with five innings, no earned runs allowed, and four strikeouts against Greeley. He also went 2-for-3 with a double and RBI in the loss. He closed his week with a complete-game one-hitter against Lincoln, where he fanned 20 batters in the winning effort.

Aidan Kempf, Nanuet

Kempf helped the Golden Knights go 2-0, with wins over Nyack and Hen Hud. Kempf pitched a complete game win on the mound against Nyack, allowing just two hits, while striking out 12 and walking one. It helped Nanuet finish a much-improved second in the league, after going winless in league play last season. Kempf also batted a combined 4-for-8 (.500) through the week and stole two bases.

Jason Nadler, Hastings

Nadler helped the Yellow Jackets to a 4-0 week, which included wins over Albertus Magnus, Bronxville, Ardsley and Gorton. Nadler made three appearances on the mound, pitching 10 total innings without any earned runs allowed, and collecting a win and two saves. Offensively, he had two doubles, scored five runs, stole two bases, drew to walks, had three RBIs and made 10 plays in the field in an all-around showing.

Ben Raspanti, Pearl River

In two games against Panas and North Rockland this past week, Raspanti got on base in seven of nine plate appearances. Raspanti collected three hits throughout the week, including a two-run home run, drew four walks, and added a RBI sac fly. He also made an appearance on the mound and pitched two shutout innings against North Rockland to get the win in relief.
