King Philip junior Matt Labriola has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for May 31 through June 6. Labriola is the 27th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the 10th in the spring season.
Labriola has been outstanding on the mound for the Warriors all season and that continued into the playoffs. The junior has won both of his postseason starts, allowing no runs and striking out 25 over 13 combined innings. Riding its stellar pitching, KP reached the Final Four for the second straight year (last season was in D1).
“Matty has been electric for us in the playoffs,” said King Philip head coach Jeff Plympton. “In our game against Reading, he threw a complete game shutout with 92 pitches and 70 for strikes. He does a fantastic job at neutralizing a good hitting lineup and giving us a great shot to win any game. We hope to give him an opportunity to pitch in a state final.”
In the playoff opener against Doherty, Labriola scattered three hits and four walks across six shutout innings to pick up the win. He struck out 11 before turning it over to Jacoby Cady, who threw a scoreless seventh to earn the save. On Saturday at No. 3 Reading (which was looking for its third straight win over a Hockomock opponent), Labriola continued to dominate. He tossed a complete game shutout, allowing just three hits and one walk, while striking out 14. Labriola set the tone in the first by striking out the side and he capped his performance with back-to-back Ks in the seventh. Labriola struck out 66 batters in 42 innings during the regular season and finished with an ERA of 1.17.
