BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Texas A&M slugger Will Frizzell was named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week after helping the Aggies to a series win over No. 11 Ole Miss. The Rockwall, Texas, native hit five home runs against the Rebels including a walkoff home run on Friday and a 7th-inning, game-winning grand slam on Sunday.
Â
Frizzell registered seven extra-base hits over four games last week, including two doubles and five home runs, while tallying eight runs and 11 RBI over the span.
Â
In the series opener against Ole Miss, he racked up a two-home run night, one of which was a solo shot to walk it off in the ninth, to go along with three runs, three RBI and a walk. In the series finale, Frizzell accounted for all six of the Aggies' runs, with a two-run home run in the first inning and a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh.
Â
For the season, Frizzell paces the Aggies in batting average (.349), doubles (11), home runs (18), RBI (48), slugging percentage (.699) and on-base percentage (.438). Additionally, he leads the conference in total bases with 130.
Â
His 18 dingers are the most for an Aggie since Daylan Holt hit 34 in 1999, and ranks tied for sixth on A&M's all-time single season list with John Curl (1995). He has 29 career home runs, which is tied for ninth with Brodie Greene.
Â
Frizzell and the Aggies return to action Friday as they begin a three-game series at Auburn.
