Lake Buena Vista High baseball’s Logan Ekthuvapranee, a 6-foot-4 pitcher, has been named the Class 5A, District 7 Player of the Year for the second consecutive season.

The big lefty saw limited action on the mound this season, throwing the least amount of innings of his three-year Vipers career, but still managed to be lights out in his six appearances. Over 19 innings of action from the mound, Ekthuvapranee maintained an ERA of 1.47, struck out 30 batters and held the opposition to a .219 batting average.

Ekthuvapranee also had a stellar year from the batter’s box, with career-bests in on-base percentage (.435), hits (14-for-49), RBIs (13) and walks (10). He also hit for an average of .286.
