Fans voted Meyer as the MyCentralJersey Readers Choice Player of the Week in an online poll for his efforts. Meyer had a breakout sophomore season in 2025 with a 3.

Other players have emerged such as two pitchers who didn’t throw an inning last season in Blake Dunleavy (three-hit shutout in GMCT quarterfinal win) and Chris Crosta, who earned the win in the semifinals with 1 1/3 innings of relief.
Meyer has done his part with a 2. 95 ERA with 42 strikeouts in 42 2/3 frames this spring. “He’s a great pitcher,” Old Bridge catcher Adrian Lutomski said.
