NC State's White, FSU's Hubbart Claim Weekly Baseball Honors

GREENSBORO, N.C. (the.ACC.com) -- NC State freshman first baseman Tommy White has been named the first Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Player of the Week of the 2022 season, while Florida State sophomore lefthander Bryce Hubbart was selected the ACC Pitcher of the Week.
 
ACC Baseball weekly honors are determined by a vote of a 15-member media panel and announced on Mondays throughout the regular season. White and Hubbart were also recognized as National Players of the Week by Collegiate Baseball on Monday.
 
White hit three home runs Friday in his collegiate debut, jump-starting the seventh-ranked Wolfpack to a three-game sweep of visiting Evansville. The St. Pete Beach, Florida, native followed up with a grand slam in Game 2 and another two run-homer in Sunday’s finale. White hit .643 for the series with nine hits and 12 RBIs with multiple hits and multiple RBIs in each of the three games.
 
White became the first NC State player since 2010 to hit three home runs in a game and is only the second Wolfpack player since at least 1999 to do so.
 
Hubbart struck out 13 batters while allowing just two hits and issuing no walks in five innings Saturday versus James Madison. The Windermere, Florida, native struck out the side in the first, second and fifth innings and threw just 75 pitches. FSU’s five-run fifth inning extended the 11th-ranked Noles’ lead to 7-0 and ended Hubbart’s outing.
 
Hubbart’s 13 strikeouts are the most for a Seminole since Conor Grady also notched 13 against Troy in 2021. The sophomore lefty struck out eight of the first nine batters of the game.
