ALL STAR BASEBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK..... Luke Alicknavitch


Luke Alicknavitch
This week's ASBA Player of the Week award goes to Luke Alicknavitch, senior at Kennett High School.  Luke starred as a pitcher and outfielder for Kennett and also for ASBA tournament teams over the past several seasons.

Two weeks ago, he signed a Letter of Intent to play next year at the University of Delaware on a baseball scholarship. Congratulations, Luke!

“I am excited about the opportunity that Luke Alicknavitch has in front of him.  He will be a positive addition to the University of Delaware baseball roster," said Coach Mark Freed of ASBA.  "Luke has developed into a solid pitcher, as he locates his pitches and changes speeds very well.  He gained confidence after every pitching outing this summer and put himself in a great position to be recruited—he landed himself a great opportunity.  I am very happy for him and his family, and proud to say that I was his coach and instructor.”

Luke was a top starting pitcher last spring for Kennett, and then for ASBA this summer and fall on tournament teams.  At Kennett, he also starred as a hitter, with a .400 average at the plate.

"I am really excited to be going to the University of Delaware," said Luke.  "I've had Delaware on my radar for a long time and to earn a baseball scholarship to go there is a dream come true."
