The Big 12 Conference announced its annual awards on Tuesday ahead of this week’s conference tournament.
This season’s awards are headlined by JJ Wetherholt (West Virginia) as Player of the Year and Lucas Gordon (Texas) as Pitcher of the Year. WVU’s Randy Mazey won coach of the year after guiding the Mountaineers to a share of the Big 12 title.
Texas led the way with the most players earning all-conference honors.
P Lucas Gordon (first-team), P Lebarron Johnson Jr. (first-team), OF Dylan Campbell (first-team), OF Porter Brown (first-team), C Garrett Guillemette (first-team), IF Peyton Powell (second-team) and IF Jared Thomas (freshman-team).
The 2022 Longhorns only had four players selected for the first team. David Pierce and his players deserve props for their development this season.
The Big 12 baseball tournament takes place from Wednesday-Sunday at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. It is the last chance for teams to boost their resumes before the NCAA Tournament selection show.
