CHILLICOTHE — DJ Crocker is no stranger to reaching base safely. Opposing pitchers know that all too well … and still could barely keep his bat quiet.
Huntington’s senior helped his Huntsmen finish 11-3 in Scioto Valley Conference play, hitting .500 with two home runs, six doubles and a league-high 25 RBIs.
He was also efficient on the bump, winning three games and posting an ERA of 2.40.
For those reasons, Crocker has been named the SVC Player of the Year while his coach, Chad Carroll, has been selected as the league’s co-Coach of the Year, an honor shared with Zane Trace coach Ron Allen.
Allen led his Pioneers to an outright league championship at 12-2.
