The honors continue to come in for the best baseball player to ever suit up for the Pella Little Dutch.
Grant Judkins was named the Graphic Edge Player of the Year by the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association (IHSBCA) Saturday in Mason City.
Judkins completed 2016 with another stellar campaign to end his career with the Dutch. He finished the season as a 10-1 pitcher with 123 strikeouts and a 0.64 ERA, and hit .421 with 25 extra base hits, 12 stolen bases, and 45 runs scored to help lead Pella to their second consecutive State Semifinals appearance.
The future Iowa Hawkeye racked up accolades during his high school career, as he was also named the 2015 Iowa Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year before the 2016 season began.

Judkins and Pella Head Coach Jesse Jablonski participated in the IHSBCA All-Star Series over the weekend in Mason City for the Large Schools East Team. Judkins was named the Large Schools MVP for his 6-for-12 performance on the 4-0 East team. Zeb Adreon and Brock Busick of Pleasantville also competed on the Small Schools West Team.
