Texas A&M freshman 3B Austin Boggs of Pflugerville, Texas, Oklahoma State senior pitcher Daniel Rew of Fayetteville, Ark, and Texas sophomore pitcher Sam LeCure of Centertown, Mo., have been named as Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Baseball Player of the Week and Pitchers of the Week, respectively, in voting by a select panel of media covering Big 12 baseball for games played from Feb. 24-Mar. 1.
Boggs was named Most Valuable Player in the Domino's Pizza Aggie Classic at College Station after batting .522 (12-for-23) in the six-game tourney where the Aggies had a 5-1 mark to capture first place. He was 12-for-23 with two doubles, six RBI, four runs scored, one stolen base, a .609 slugging percentage, and .542 on-base percentage. The freshman also upped his season batting average to .449 with 13 RBI in 13 games for the nation's 12th-ranked squad.
Rew, a righthander, went 1-0 with a save in two games last weekend. He came on in relief against South Florida with one out in the eighth inning and the tying run at the plate in a 6-4 game. Rew pitched 1 2/3 innings and picked up his second save of the year. The Arkansas resident then came back on Sunday to pitch a complete game shutout over Virginia Tech 2-0. He allowed just six hits while striking out nine to improve to 2-0. On the year he has made two starts and won both and has saves in his two relief appearances. Rew has allowed just one run in 22 innings (0.41 ERA) with 17 strikeouts and has limited batters to just a .171 batting average.
LeCure won a pair of games for the Longhorns last week with a pair of starts against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and San Diego State while not allowing a run, striking out 11 in 10 innings and scattering five hits. He also walked just one hitter while raising his overall mark to 3-0. The righty allowed opposing batters to hit only .152 in the two appearances and yielded just one hit in a season-most seven innings against SDSU of the Mountain West Conference. He also notched a career-best seven strikeouts against the Aztecs while combining with Kyle McCulloch and Buck Cody for a one-hitter over nine innings in the 9-0 triumph.
