Another thrilling week of high school baseball has come and gone, and the talent on display across North Jersey was nothing short of spectacular. From dominant pitching performances to clutch hitting, these student-athletes left it all on the field. Now, it's your turn to decide who takes home the HSS North Jersey Player of the Week honor for April 26 through May 2.

Let's break down the standout stars who made their mark last week. First up, junior pitcher DeLaPaz has been a force on the mound for the Indians, who improved to 11-4 and moved closer to clinching the NJIC Patriot Division title. In a crucial 2-0 week, DeLaPaz remained undefeated at 5-0 by tossing a complete-game four-hitter in a 2-1 victory over Garfield. He didn't allow a single earned run and fanned seven batters, bringing his season strikeout total to an impressive 50. That's the kind of ace performance that can carry a team deep into the postseason.

Meanwhile, sophomore Focarino provided a spark for the Aviators, who compete in the tough NJIC Colonial Division. His heroics helped snap an 11-game losing streak—a massive momentum shift for the team. Over three games, Focarino hit an eye-popping .667 (6-for-9), including a home run, two walks, two runs scored, and three RBIs in a 14-4 rout of Boonton. When a young player steps up like that, it's a sign of bright things ahead.

With action heating up across the diamond, every vote counts. Whether you're a fan of dominant pitching or explosive offense, these players delivered moments worth celebrating. Cast your vote below and show your support for the best of North Jersey baseball!
