SEC Baseball Weekly Honors: Week 11

Player of the Week

 Dylan Crews, LSU

Dylan Crews led the Tigers to three wins in four games last week, including a three-game sweep over Alabama. Crews hit .545 (6-for-11) in the Alabama series with two homers, eight RBI and five runs scored. He blasted a three-run homer in the third inning of Friday's game, increasing a 1-0 LSU lead to 4-0 in an eventual 8-6 victory. He was on base four times in five plate appearances on Sunday with two walks and two hits, including a solo homer, and he collected three RBI in the Tigers' 13-11 win. Crews increased his reached base streak to 47 straight games, which includes all 43 games this season and the final four games of last season.

Co-Pitcher of the Week

 Brandon Sproat, Florida

Florida's Brandon Sproat earned the Friday night win vs. Missouri to help secure a series victory over the Tigers. He pitched seven innings with one earned run allowed to improve to 6-2. Sproat allowed just three baserunners - two hits and one walk - and struck out seven batters in the contest. He held Missouri to a .091 batting average and improved to 11-2 across his last 17 starts.

 Drew Beam, Tennessee

Drew Beam capped the Vols' perfect 4-0 week with a stellar outing in Saturday's series finale against Mississippi State. The sophomore right hander shut down a Bulldogs' lineup that had scored 15 runs over the first two games of the series, holding them to just two runs on three hits over seven innings of work in the 13-2 run-rule victory. Beam tossed his second-career complete game and struck out seven in the process, allowing just one earned run and one walk to earn the win and improve his team-best record to 6-2.

Freshman of the Week

 Grayson Saunier, Ole Miss

Grayson Saunier made two starts against SEC opponents in one week, starting against Mississippi State in the Governor's Cup and against Georgia in the series finale on Sunday. The freshman allowed just one earned run in both starts and gave up only five hits over 9.2 innings of work. Against Georgia, he retired the first 10 batters he faced and 15 of the first 16. His six innings worked were a career-high and his six strikeouts were the second-highest total in his career. It was also the first time in his career that he had not issued a walk in a start. His 10 strikeouts were tied for the most in the SEC during the week.
