Who's the Longplex Athlete of the Week in Baseball? Vote now!

Whatever we’ve come to accept as spring in Rhode Island seemed to arrive last week. The rain disappeared, the fields dried out and the first proper span of high school baseball was played throughout the state. Teams in all three divisions were in frequent action, with some playing up to four games and some featuring neighboring states on the schedule.

There were plenty of standout performers who would have qualified for this list, but there can only be a few each time – the Longplex Athlete of the Week awards for 2026 are upon us. Polls will be posted every Monday morning with the previous week’s nominees and run through Friday. There’s only one way to vote – click the link on the story, find the ballot included within and pick your player.

Phone calls, emails and stating your preference in person won’t qualify. Winners will be announced in the following Player of the Week poll. The prize is pretty simple – nothing tangible.

Bragging rights, a bit of extra exposure on social media, the right to belong to an exclusive club by the start of June – that's about it. We need your help! We can’t do this alone.
