Another day, another honor for Riverside Patriot catcher Kyle Skipworth, who will receive the Gatorade national baseball player of the year award today at a ceremony at school.

Skipworth, who set a state record this season with 18 consecutive hits, batted .543 with 47 runs batted in and 13 home runs. He’s expected to be a first-round draft pick.
