Pratt, Robison sweep WCC player and pitcher of the week honors
SAN MATEO, Calif. – BYU infielder Ozzie Pratt and right-handed pitcher Bryce Robison swept the WCC baseball player of the week and pitcher of the week honors for their performances last week in a three-game weekend sweep of Santa Clara and a midweek game at Dixie State.
Pratt, a freshman from Oxford, Mississippi, was dominant at the plate, collecting 10 hits in 16 at bats for an average of .625. The Cougar second baseman had at least two hits in all four games. He had eight singles, a double, a triple, scored twice and drove in two runs while hitting second in the lineup. He led the Cougars in nearly every offensive category, including batting average, on base percentage (.667) and slugging (.813). Defensively at second base he had 10 assists and seven putouts.
Robison, a sophomore from Las Vegas, appeared in two games for the Cougars last week. Against Dixie State he faced seven batters over two scoreless innings. In game two versus conference foe Santa Clara, he came out of the bullpen to pitch five complete innings and close out the game. Robison faced 19 Broncos, allowing just four hits while striking out seven for the 10-0 win.
The WCC Player of the Week and Pitcher of the Week awards are the first for both Pratt and Robison.
The baseball team travels to Lincoln, Nebraska, this week for a four-game series with the University of Nebraska, April 14-16. All four games will be broadcast live on the BYU Radio Network—BYU Radio FM 107.9, BYUCougars.com and the BYU Cougars app.
