King earned Second Team All-State honors last season as a junior, helping lead Hendricken to a Division I state title.
This season, King's record is unblemished, owning a perfect 7-0 record with a 0.30 earned run average. The senior right-handed pitcher also has 67 strikeouts to go along with just seven walks. King has not only done it on the mound, however, contributing to the Hawks lineup as one of their top hitters as well. Hitting even in games that he started on the mound, King sustained a .469 batting average for the season and drove in 18 runs.
