McCormick held top-ranked
Over his last 26.0 innings, McCormick has allowed only four runs, two earned, on 14 hits and eight walks with 28 strikeouts. In that time, he has posted a 0.69 ERA and held opposing batters to a .154 average. On the season, McCormick is 2-1 with a 3.28 ERA and a staff-best 38 strikeouts in 35.2 innings; opponents hit just .186 against the projected first-round pick, best among any Big 12 pitcher with at least 120 at bats against.
McCormick's honor marks the third time since the beginning of the 2004 season that Baylor player has earned national player of the week honors. Last season, Cory VanAllen was so honored by Collegiate Baseball after combining with Zane Carlson to no-hit Loyola Marymount in his first collegiate start, and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association honored Josh Ford the final week of the regular season.
