The SEC has revealed its weekly awards for this past weekend of baseball, running from April 9-12. Four players from 4 separate schools took home awards as we enter the second half of conference play.
Let’s start at the top with Arkansas‘ TJ Pompey, who won SEC Player of the Week after helping Arkansas sweep Alabama. Pompey, a former freshman All-American with Texas Tech, recorded a pair of multi-hit games and recorded at least one hit in all three games. On top of that, Pompey drove in 4 runs and a team-high 6 RBIs.
Auburn‘s Alex Petrovic and South Carolina‘s Amp Phillips were named the SEC Co-Pitchers of the Week. Petrovic turned Auburn’s first complete game of the season while tossing 8 strikeouts in an 11-0, 7-inning win over Kentucky. The Tigers won the series over the Wildcats with a 2-1 record. Phillips, on the other hand, helped South Carolina in the Gamecocks’ weekend sweep of Missouri, throwing a season-high 10 strikeouts in a 1-0 win over the Tigers.
Then there’s Tennessee freshman Cam Appenzeller, who won SEC Freshman of the Week for his relief work in Game 1 against Mississippi State, a series that Tennessee went on to Sweep in Starkville. Appenzeller totaled 8 strikeouts in 5 innings and retains a perfect 5-0 record on the season.
