Mike Rockwell has been named a Pioneer Athlete of the Week for the week of April 20th, 2026.
Rockwell was all over the scorebook during the Pioneers’ five contests this week, leading the way as the team posted a 4-1 record. Rockwell was nearly unstoppable, grabbing 10 hits in his 22 at-bats to post a .455 average. He also brought big power, launching three doubles and a home run. Along with providing opportunities on the basepaths, Rockwell also logged more RBIs than hits, plating 11 runners in the five-game stretch. Rockwell would finish his spectacular week with a .480 on-base percentage and a .727 slugging percentage, also scoring six runs. His run of dominance allowed the Pioneers to grab three Empire 8 wins in four conference games this week.
Rockwell and the Pioneers will hit the road this week for contests against Keuka and Oswego, before returning home for their final scheduled game at Pioneer Field this Sunday against Elmira.
