Once again this season, The Daily Memphian is recognizing a high school spring athlete of the week. But we need your help.

Each Monday, we’ll post several candidates from the previous week’s games and we’re asking our readers to vote for the winner. Voting will end at 5 p.m. Thursday.

Here are the candidates for Week 1.

Evan Bloomer, FACS: One of several local baseball standouts in the class of 2024, Bloomer batted .556 with 12 RBI as the Crusaders went 2-1-1 at the Battle of the Beach tournament in Biloxi, Miss. His best game came in a 9-9 time-limit tie with Woodlands Christian Academy out of Texas, hitting a grand slam and driving in six.

Chandler Day, Houston: The son of Houston associate head baseball coach and former Germantown standout Collins Day is following in his old man’s footsteps. Chandler got his sophomore season off to a rousing start against DeSoto Central on March 14, striking out eight and allowing two runs over four innings and hitting a first-inning grand slam as the Mustangs won, 13-11.

Jack Gleason, Briarcrest: Gleason was lights-out for the Saints against Tupelo (Miss.) on March 15.

Kyle Mabie, ECS: Mabie established himself as one of the area’s top baseball sluggers as a freshman in 2022 and he appears to be picking right up where he left off. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and two RBI as the Eagles downed Fayette Academy, 12-2, on March 14 and then doubled twice and drove in five more runs the following day as ECS blanked St. Benedict, 10-0.

Tanner Wages, Collierville: The junior was the hero for Collierville in an opening-day baseball victory over Briarcrest on March 13. Wages singled in two runs with two out in the bottom of the seventh, capping a five-run rally that enabled the Dragons to edge the Saints, 6-5.

Eli West, Tipton-Rosemark: West did a little bit of everything for the Rebels as they opened the baseball season with an 11-1 victory over Knights Baseball Academy on March 13.
