This week’s All Star Baseball Academy Player of the Week Award goes to Jonah Frankel for his performance the weekend of the 21st and 22nd at Diamond Nation in Flemington, New Jersey. Jonah plays for ASBA West Chester’s 11U Select Team. He is coached by Brian Rorick.
In a 6-1 win over Pro Skills Baseball Academy 11U, Jonah took control early on the mound, and kept his foot on the gas pedal for the entire game. He allowed just one run and one hit to earn the complete game win. He tallied 9 strikeouts in his 6 innings of work.
At the plate, Jonah was just as impressive, going 4 for 5 with 2 RBI’s in a rain shortened weekend.
Coach Rorick has been impressed by Jonah’s performance all season long, saying “He’s been one of the most consistent pitchers throughout the spring. He shows very good poise at a young age. He has the ability to command the zone with an above average fastball and a very good changeup.”
Jonah’s dad was thrilled to hear of Jonah’s selection as Player of the Week, as well as the improvements Jonah has made. “Our family really appreciates everything All-Star has done for Jonah. He has been a part of the All-Star program for about 2 years and has participated on the 10u & 11u teams. He has also taken private lessons during this time. We have seen a huge jump in his baseball development. Special thanks to Brian Rorick for everything he has done to help mentor and coach Jonah. I would also like to thank Joe Harris for his help developing Jonah as a pitcher.”
“All-Star is amazing,” Jonah said. “I'm thankful to my coaches and great defense that day. They all helped me pitch my best game.”
Congratulations to Jonah for being named the ASBA Player of the Week. ASBA West Chester 11U is done playing for the spring season. We wish Jonah and the rest of the team the best of luck with their respective Little League seasons.
