BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Auburn right-hander Casey Mize has been named the SEC Pitcher of the Week after turning in the conference’s fourth complete-game no-hitter since 1996 in last Friday’s series opener against Northeastern.
The Pitcher of the Week honor is the first of Mize’s career and the first for Auburn since Keegan Thompson earned the recognition on Mar. 6, 2017. Mize was also named a National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.
The Springville, Ala., native dazzled in a 6-0 win against the Huskies en route to securing the Tigers’ first no-hitter since nine pitchers combined to throw a no-hitter against UAB on Mar.
