The BLITZ Baseball Player of the Week fan vote collected 31,168 total votes. The top vote-getter was Stephens County’s Garrett Burgess with 12,164. BLITZ then chose White County’s Nate Bray as co-POW.

GARRETT BURGESS – FAN VOTE

Stephens County’s Garrett Burgess was clutch for the Indians last week, as his performance at the plate helped get his team past state-ranked Cherokee Bluff. For the week (3 games), the senior first baseman hit .500 (4-for-8), adding 3 walks. He tallied 4 RBI on the week, earning his first-ever POW award.

NATE BRAY – BLITZ PICK

Nate Bray is at it again. A legitimate Player of the Year candidate, the junior first baseman/pitcher/outfielder does whatever the Warriors need him to do. Last week in 3 games, he batted .421 (going 8-for-19), drove in 7 runs, scored 5 times, and drew a walk. On the bump, he pitched 5 innings, sporting a 2.75 ERA and striking out 2 batters. This is Bray’s 3rd career POW award.
