Oklahoma pitcher Stephen Porlier was named the co-Big 12 Pitcher of the Week Tuesday. It is a career first for Porlier, who shared the honor with Chase Bayuk from Kansas State, while Ty Wright from Oklahoma State was tabbed the Player of the Week for games played from April 9-16.
Porlier tossed the first complete-game shutout of his career in Oklahoma’s 3-0 win over the Cornhuskers Saturday. The four-hit shutout was the first for a Sooner since Daniel McCutchen blanked California-Riverside in 10 innings on March 3, 2006.
Porlier struck out six in the outing and is tied for the Big 12 lead with 68 punch outs.
The sophomore has struck out 29 batters over the last 301⁄3 inings and 10 or more in two of his last four outings. Porlier has at least four strike outs in each of his 10 appearances this season.
