AMANI LARRY WINS PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARD

AVON, OH – The Tri-City ValleyCats had a very successful Week 11. After David Glancy and Dylan Broderick each had big moments at the Y’all Star Game, infielder Amani Larry earned Player of the Week honors thanks to his five extra-base hits.

Tri-City ValleyCats infielder Amani Larry began his week by going 2-for-3 at the plate in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader against the Québec Capitales. He hit a solo home run in the fifth inning to help the ValleyCats to a 9-0 win. In game two, Larry drew a walk in the sixth inning after coming off the bench, then stole home after reaching third base. 

Larry was back in the starting lineup on Saturday, when he collected a double and a two-run home run in an 11-5 Tri-City win. Larry added another home run on Sunday in a close loss. Across Tri-City’s four games, Larry slashed .615/.667/1.384 with two doubles, three home runs, and five RBIs. He had just four home runs this season entering the weekend but now has seven.

Larry joined the ValleyCats last season after briefly playing for the Evansville Otters in 2024. He played collegiately at Mississippi State in 2023 and 2024, and at New Orleans in 2022.
