Let's be clear; the goal for Jesuit senior pitcher Kyle Muller is still a state championship with the Rangers in the 6A regional semifinals.
But before that quest reaches a conclusion, he's already received statewide accolades by being named this year's Texas Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year Tuesday.
The University of Texas commit has smashed the area's statistical leaderboards in several categories, hitting 15 home runs with 52 RBIs and a .392 average. On the mound, Muller has a .49 earned run average with 140 strikeouts.
