After helping Cherry Creek to the Class 5A state baseball championship, senior Connor Larkin on Tuesday was named the Gatorade Colorado Baseball Player of the Year.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound first baseman, outfielder and pitcher had big numbers at the plate, batting .457 with 11 home runs, 37 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. He also made seven appearances on the mound, earning a 2-0 record with a 2.41 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings of work.
“Larkin has come up huge in big games and big moments,” Grandview head coach Scott Henry said in a news release. “He’s the biggest offensive threat we faced all year.”
Larkin carried a 3.46 grade-point average and signed a written letter of athletic aid to play baseball at Oklahoma starting next fall.
He is the latest addition to a bevy of Bruins who have won the award over the years, joining Brian Wilkinson (1987), John Burke (1989), David Spykstra (1992), Matt Brunson (1993), Darnell McDonald (1996-97), David Aardsma (2000), Joey Andrews (2001), Griffin Jax (2013) and Jack Moss (2020). McDonald was also the national player of the year in 1997.
