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."
