Vote: Who is the Florida Panhandle Baseball Player of the Week (3/12/2024)?
The Florida High School Baseball season is in full swing and we are set to honor the week's top stars with our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state.
This week we have 10 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Florida Panhandle High School Baseball Player of the Week award from March 4-9, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, March 17th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.
Congratulations to last week's winner: Phillip Garcia of Leon.
Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.
