GREENVILLE, S.C. - Dylan Jeffries and Erik Johnson of Mount Olive have been named the Conference Carolinas baseball weekly award winner for the week ending March 12, 2023.
Jeffries was selected as the Player of the Week, while Johnson garnered Pitcher of the Week honors.
A junior from Nakina, North Carolina, Jeffries, a 6-foot-1 center fielder, finished with a .438 batting average (7-for-16) with three home runs, five RBIs, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases in five games last week. He tallied five extra-base hits and three walks while batting in the No. 9 spot in the batting order. Last Tuesday, Jeffries went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, three runs scored and a stolen base in an 18-4 win over No. 14 Wingate. In a series win at Chowan, he finished a combined 4-for-11 with two home runs, four RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases. Jeffries currently holds an 11-game hitting streak and has reached base in all 20 contests.
A 6-foot-6 senior left-handed pitcher from Rush, New York, Johnson delivered a 13-strikeout performance last Saturday afternoon in a 9-1 win over Chowan. On the mound, he tossed a complete-game win (2-1) while surrendering just one run on three hits over 7.0 innings pitched. Johnson set down the side in order four times while forcing four flyouts and four groundouts against the Hawks. This season, he paces the team with 34 strikeouts and holds his opponents to a .168 batting average at the plate. The opponent batting average is the best in Conference Carolinas currently.
