LSU right-hander Ma’Khail Hilliard was named SEC Baseball Co-Freshman of the Week by the league office on Monday. Per LSUSports.net:
quote:

Hilliard, a product of the city of Central, La., delivered a brilliant outing on Saturday to defeat Mississippi State, firing six shutout innings and allowing just three hits with two walks and a career-high nine strikeouts. He improved his record to 6-1 and lowered his ERA to 0.76, the best mark in the SEC.

Hilliard is also tied for the league lead in wins, and he is No. 4 in the conference in opponent batting average (.184). Hilliard has worked 35.1 innings this season, recording 11 walks and 37 strikeouts.

In his three SEC starts against Missouri, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State, Hilliard has a 1.50 ERA in 18 innings with four walks, 23 strikeouts and a .197 opponent batting average.

I would love to see Hilliard moved up to the 2nd day starter and Gilbert moved to the last day.

I am more calm and confident with Hilliard on the mound than any other pitcher. Haven’t felt that way with many other Freshman. Future is bright!

It is great to have someone who actually pitches and doesn't just try to throw
a 95 mph fastball past the batter

You know he does throw fastballs right? They just don’t go 95.
