Southside Christian's Bolemon named SC Gatorade Player of the Year
(WSPA) – Southside Christian School's Carson Bolemon is South Carolina's 2025 baseball Gatorade Player of the Year.
Nearly a week after helping his team win its fourth straight state championship and first in its new 3A classification, the left-hand pitcher and first baseman is being recognized as one of the nation's most elite high school athletes.
In the final game of the Sabres' state championship run against Oceanside Collegiate, Bolemon pitched his second no-hitter of the postseason and got 19 of the 21 outs by strikeout.
According to MaxPreps, in 55.1 innings, Bolemon allowed just six hits and two runs while racking up 135 strikeouts.
Bolemon is ranked the nation's No. 6 prospect in the class of 2026, according to Prep Baseball. The 6-foot-4, 210 pound junior is a Wake Forest commit.
The Gatorade Player of the Year is the top honor in high school sports and is awarded to athletes who excel on the field, in the classroom and in their community.
