Texas’ Anthony Pack Jr. Earns SEC Co-Freshman of the Week After Breakout Series

The hot bat hints at a longer-term lineup boost for a No. 2 team still sorting its Tuesday starter.

Overview

Pack shared the SEC’s freshman weekly award with Missouri’s Blaize Ward after reaching base in 10 of 13 plate appearances against South Carolina.
He slashed .727/.769/.909 in the series and delivered the go-ahead two-run double in the 4-1 clincher.
His rise includes becoming the third true freshman in Texas history with eight hits in a three-game set and posting a .324 average with 28 RBIs and 11 steals this season.
Texas sits at 26-5 and No. 2 nationally after the road series win at South Carolina and now hosts Incarnate Word at 6:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.
Texas shifted freshman Sam Cozart into a closing role with four saves and has cycled midweek starters, with junior left-hander Kade Bing highlighted by the team for this game.
