-7- Page Shelton~Mason County Journal — Thursday, June 22, 2023 Baseba" Player of the Year Matt Carleton Junior - Shelton - Outfielder/Pitcher About Carleton: Carleton played a pitche and centeriielder for the Highclimbers in his junior season. He was named a second-team all-league player as an outfielder for Shelton. Matt Carleton’s comments: “This season was a grind, one where I went from a sophomore batting .153, pitching only nine innings, and reaching the state playoffs, to being one of the two starters for our team in the back end of the year, increasing my batting average by 100 points, but finishing two games short of state playoffs. While the stats are certainly better, I know I can improve. With that being said, Tm most prideful about my defense in center field and my role a teammate. I try to pick my guys up after mistakes, because we really are family, and we all have to buy in to committing to getting better if we are going to make it to the state playoffs again.” Coach Trevor Cahoon’s comments: “He’s a ‘yes coach’ kind of guy. He takes' on every assignment that I give him, he came in and closed a lot of games and then in the playoffs, he be tame a starter. His stuff off the mound went better and better the year went on and then his other part is that he plays an amazing center field. He’s run down balls that I’ve never seen happen at the high school level. He plays at a really high level. He’s just an all—around great guy out there.” ‘ SHELTON-MASON COUNTY Baseball Pitcher of the Year Spencer Coots Senior - Shelton - Pitcher/lnfielder About Coots: Coots was named a second-team all—Evergreen Cons ference pitcher for Shelton. Spencer Coots’ comment ‘: “It is an honor to receive this award. It is really nice to be recognized by everybody‘ for all the hard work ' I have put in. I think our season was a huge success in being able to make it to the playoffs. It was a huge success for us being able to do that two years in a row.” Coach Trevor Cahoon’s comments: “He’s a senior that took on all the toughest games. He didn’t have very many innings his junior year and he came out his senior year and he was one of our biggest innings leaders and always took the ball every week. He’s got 'a great fastball and sometimes that was the only thing working for him. They still missed that fastball so he did a great job at that. He took a lot of our tough away starts to start the year, then he started being our home starter. He just took on way tough game we had. His best game was in the district playoffs against Ridgefield and they were the number one seed, we lost that game 3-2 and it was all his pitching on the mound.”
