CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – NC State junior outfielder Brayden Fraasman was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Player of the Week, while Notre Dame sophomore right-handed pitcher Jack Radel was tabbed the ACC Pitcher of the Week for games played April 21-27.
Fraasman led No. 25 NC State to a three-game sweep of No. 2 Clemson after hitting .692 (9-for-13) over the weekend. The Tigers hadn't lost a series-opening game all season until Fraasman went 5-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBIs to lead the Wolfpack to a 14-4 run-rule victory on Thursday night in front of a sold-out crowd at Doak Field. It was the first five-hit game for an NC State player this. Fraasman is the first Wolfpack player with at least seven RBIs and five hits in a game since 2023. He becomes just one of three players this year in the ACC to have seven or more RBIs in a game. The Okeana, Ohio, native continued his big weekend in game two, adding three more hits and a run. In the series finale, to secure the sweep of the Tigers, he recorded a hit and scored a run.
Radel had a career-high 12 strikeouts and matched his longest outing of his career with 7.0 innings in Notre Dame’s Friday night win over California. The sophomore right-hander needed just 93 pitches to earn the win on the night. He also allowed only four hits and walked one while earning his fourth-consecutive Friday ACC win. The 12-strikeout total is tied for the fourth-most by an ACC pitcher in a game this season. Radel’s strong start on Friday propelled the Fighting Irish to their second consecutive weekend sweep as Notre Dame’s winning streak was pushed to eight games.
