GAINESVILLE, Fla. – University of Florida first baseman/left-handed pitcher
Jac Caglianone has been named SEC Co-Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday.
Â
Sharing honors with LSU's Dylan Crews, the accolade marks the first weekly SEC award of Caglianone's career as well as the first overall for the Gators this season.
Â
Starting all five games for the Gators last week, Caglianone went 10-for-21 at the plate and slashed .476/.542/.1.381 across 21 at bats. The Tampa, Fla. native blasted six home runs, including a three-homer day vs. Cincinnati on Feb. 26 that helped set a new program record of eight home runs in a single game.
Â
Overall, the sophomore finished with 29 total bases, 10 RBI and eight runs scored on the week. Caglianone also started on the mound in Sunday's series finale against the Bearcats, pitching 4 2/3 innings and allowing two earned runs while striking out six.
Â
At present, Caglianone's six home runs are tied for the NCAA lead. He also ranks 16th in slugging (1.069) and tied for 27th in RBI (13).
Â
Caglianone and the Gators return to action on Tuesday in the first game of a home-and-home with Jacksonville. The Gators travel to take on the Dolphins on the road on Tuesday at 6 p.m., before hosting Jacksonville on Wednesday on SEC Network+ at the same time.
