He also drew 33 walks and stole 24 bases. Denny also excelled in hitting, where he hit 85 in 49 innings pitched while walking only 15. The senior had a 0.71 ERA with 11 saves, now holding the IHSAA single-season record for saves in a season. .
Denny’s all-around performance, in addition to leading Mooresville to its first State Finals appearance, has earned him 2024 Indiana Prep Baseball Player of the Year honors.
Denny has been unanimously selected by the Prep Baseball Indiana staff. Prep Baseball’s area scouting team that covered the high school baseball season during the spring selected Denny from a strong group of candidates from across the state. The Prep Baseball Indiana staff has been diligently exploring and covering games on diamonds across the state this spring to provide parents, athletes and fans with the most comprehensive coverage of amateur baseball across the United States.
