Hudson Pullig, from Quitman High School, was named Most Valuable Player for the North Team at the 2025 Louisiana Baseball Coaches Association (LBCA) Underclassmen State Games, hosted at the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

At the plate, Pullig showcased his batting power with consistent, hard-hit balls against some of the state’s top arms. In the field, his hustle and playmaking skills were on full display, always backing up plays and covering ground. In the dugout, his energy and leadership earned the respect of his new teammates. These efforts and baseball instincts caught the attention of coaches and scouts throughout the 3 day event.

Pullig was nominated by his coach, Chris Womack, after having an outstanding junior season where he compiled a .467 batting average with half of his hits going for extra bases and only had eight strikeouts all year while leading QHS to the Class B state quarterfinals. 

“All of our 1B players represented our district well at the games – Harrell from Simsboro, Blundell and Browning from Weston, and of course Hudson,” said Womack. “I’d take a team of nine Hudsons any day. He caught some great barrels at the plate and goes all out in the field. He gave us a scare on a diving play in the last game, but that’s who he is; he never holds back. You won’t find a player with a better attitude, he’ll accept blame faster than he would an MVP trophy.”

Congratulations to Hudson Pullig on earning MVP honors and representing Quitman High School and Jackson Parish with grit, class, and leadership qualities.
