National Pitcher of the Week
Justin Lamkin, LHP, Junior, Texas A&M, Corpus Christi, Texas
Lamkin stifled one of the nation’s most prolific offenses in earning a complete game shutout win over No. 10 Georgia last Friday. The Aggie right hander scattered three hits on 121 pitches while striking out a career-high 15 batters in a 6-0 win over the Bulldogs. He didn’t issue a walk and retired the final 16 batters he faced in becoming the first Texas A&M pitcher to record a complete game shutout on the road since Michael Wacha in 2012. It was his fourth win and the third 10+ strikeout outing for Lamkin this season. Lamkin was named the SEC Pitcher of the Week for his performance.
