A.J. Brinson – Lourdes (OH) – A.J. Brinson of Lourdes (OH) didn’t put up the loudest numbers of the week, but his consistency and ability to deliver in key moments earned him NAIA Ball Player of the Week honors. Brinson went 9-for-20 across the slate, opening with a hit against Division I Bowling Green and closing in emphatic fashion by hitting for the cycle against Defiance (OH). His final line—featuring a double, triple, home run, and three RBIs—reflects a well-rounded offensive showing rather than a single explosive performance. In a week without overwhelming stat lines across the board, Brinson’s steady production and milestone moment ultimately set him apart.
