ACC Names Sosa and Eddy Weekly Players of the Week

Miami catcher Alex Sosa and California pitcher Gavin Eddy earn conference honors for dominant performances

Weekly Honors

The Atlantic Coast Conference revealed its weekly player and pitcher of the week awards, spotlighting exceptional performances from the Miami and California programs.

Miami junior catcher Alex Sosa captured the conference’s Player of the Week after a scorching stretch that included a .692 batting average, three home runs and nine RBIs in a series versus Louisville.

His slugging percentage surged to 1.385 while his on‑base rate settled at .733, underscoring his pivotal role in the lineup.

California redshirt‑sophomore right‑hander Gavin Eddy was named Pitcher of the Week after striking out 14 batters over seven innings against No. 23 Virginia, allowing just one run on three hits and delivering his fourth consecutive quality start.

Eddy’s outing marked the most strikeouts by a Golden Bear since 2011 and helped the team maintain momentum in a tightly contested stretch of games.

Both awards reflect the high level of competition within the ACC and set the stage for the final push toward the postseason, with each athlete poised to influence their team’s trajectory.
