April 10, 2023 04:02 PM | Baseball
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – After a dominant performance in his first Big 12 start, freshman Robby Porco has been named the Big 12 Co-Pitcher of the Week.
Against Kansas on Sunday, Porco struck out 12 in 6.0 innings while allowing just two runs, only one of which was earned, on just three hits. His dozen strikeouts is the most for a WVU pitcher this season.
It is the second time this season a Mountaineer has earned Pitcher of the Week honors after Blaine Traxel earned it on Feb. 27 after his performance against Arizona.
Porco also becomes the first Mountaineer freshman to win Pitcher of the Week since WVU joined the Big 12 in 2013. It is the 17th time overall that a WVU pitcher has won the award.
The Mountaineers are back on the field on Tuesday at Penn State with first pitch from State College set for 6 p.m.
