Kentucky Wildcats senior pitcher Zack Lee has been named a Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week, it was announced Monday. Lee was one of 14 players to earn the honor after his great outing helped Kentucky sweep No. 3 South Carolina.
A right-hander from Effingham (IL), Lee pitched Kentucky to a 9-2 victory on Sunday to complete the sweep. The Gamecocks were held to just a two-run homer off Lee, as he set career bests with 12 strikeouts and 105 pitches in 6.2 innings before leaving to a standing ovation at Kentucky Proud Park.
