Kevin Abel Named Pac-12 Pitcher Of The Week
March 30, 2021 | Baseball
SAN FRANCISCO – Oregon State right-handed pitcher Kevin Abel has been named the Pac-12's Pitcher of the Week, the conference announced on Tuesday.
The honor comes just days after Abel threw six hitless innings in Oregon State's combined no-hitter against Washington in the series opener Friday night. He struck out seven and walked three, earning the win to improve to 2-3 this season.
Joey Mundt, Chase Watkins and Jake Mulholland all pitched in one inning during the no-hitter, which was the seventh in Oregon State's history and fifth since the 2007 season.
It is the second honor of the year for Abel, who was recognized by the Pac-12 on March 2 after holding Grand Canyon scoreless over five innings, striking out 11.
Abel's honor Tuesday marks the 96th time an Oregon State player has been named Pitcher of the Week, the most in conference history. He is the 26th different pitcher in OSU's history to be recognized two or more times.
