Jackson Trout Gets Region IX Player of the Weeek

Sterling, Colo...

Northeastern's 6'5" sophomore Jackson Trout got the Region IX Player of the Week nod as he had a solid week of the season at the plate.  Trout comes to NJC from Papillion, Nebraska and plays the utility position for the Plainsmen.  During the past week of the 2023 regular season for the Plainsmen, they traveled to Metro State to compete against Minot State University and hosted the Colorado State University Baseball Club.  This is the 1st Plainsmen to receive the Region IX Player of the Week award of the season.

During the week, Jackson played 6 games during the 7-day stretch.  In those games, Trout went to the plate 18 times, got a hit in 9 of those at bats and scored 6 times.  Those 9 hits included 2 homerun's and 10 RBI's.  On top of the stellar batting, Jackson was able to steal two bases as well during the stretch.  Big time batting rewarded Trout with a .500 batting average during the stretch.  Overall this season, Jackson has a .354 batting average, .429 on-base percentage and a .571 slugging percentage.

Northeastern needs players like Trout to continue the big play as the season progresses to give the team a threat in the lineup in which other teams will have to be aware of.

Congrats to NJC utility player Jackson Trout on being named Player of the Week for Region IX!  Keep up the great work!

The Plainsmen take on McCook Community College this coming Saturday (2pm) and Sunday (1pm & 3:30pm).
