Nathan Dettmer: SEC Pitcher of the Week

Sophomore Nathan Dettmer dominated Georgia on his way to the SEC pitcher of the week award.

After his performance on Friday night, it was only a matter of formality before the SEC announced officially what was obvious. Texas A&M sophomore Nathan Dettmer, is the SEC conference pitcher of the week.

In the Aggies’ series opener against the Georgia Bulldogs, Dettmer allowed only 1 unearned run in a career-high 8 innings pitched. He didn’t walk a single Dawgs batter, and struck out 9 while allowing only 5 hits.  The unearned run was the result of two A&M defensive errors in the bottom of the first, before Dettmer slammed the door shut.

The Aggies 8-1 win on Friday, was Dettmer’s 3rd W on the season, pushing his record to 3-2. The sophomore holds a 3.54 ERA and an impressive 1.23 WHIP on the year.

Dettmer is the 2nd Aggie’s hurler to win the Pitcher of the Week award this season.

Auburn dominates end of season SEC awards

Auburn came away with numerous All-SEC accolades on Tuesday to pile on to its regular-season title.

On top of claiming its outright SEC regular-season title with a victory against South Carolina last Saturday, the Auburn Tigers basketball team have added individual SEC accolades to their resume as well.

Auburn players Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler and head coach Bruce Pearl were all recognized by the SEC on Tuesday for their part in leading the Tigers to an undefeated record at home and the regular-season title. The All-SEC awards are chosen by the conference’s 14 coaches.

Auburn looks to take the momentum from their award-winning season into the SEC Tournament this Friday, where its 27-4 record earned them the No. 1 seed.

The awards were announced on SEC Sports official website:

Georgia guard Ben Cleveland named SEC Lineman of the Week

UGA guard Ben Cleveland has been named the Southeastern Conference Lineman of the Week after Georgia’s 45-16 win at South Carolina.

Fifth-year senior guard Ben Cleveland has been named the Southeastern Conference Lineman of the Week after his dominating performance in Georgia’s 45-16 win at South Carolina on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs rushed for 332 yards and four touchdowns vs. the Gamecocks.

This marks the second time this season that Cleveland has received the honor (Auburn) and the eighth award given to the Bulldogs this year.

Cleveland is the most experienced lineman on Georgia’s roster and a powerhouse at 6 foot 6, 335 pounds.

The Toccoa, Georgia native decided to stay in Athens for the 2020 season after missing some time in 2018 and 2019 with injuries.

Cleveland’s decision to stay has paid off as he recently accepted an invitation to the Reese’s Senior Bowl, joining teammates Malik Herring and Tre McKitty.

The annual showcase is pivotal for guys like Cleveland who look to improve their draft potential ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft in late April.
