For the second time in three weeks, a Northwestern Oklahoma State University baseball player has been recognized by the Great American Conference as Colton Whitehouse was named the GAC Co-Player of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday.
Whitehouse has had no trouble getting back into the swing of things as an everyday player following a redshirt season last year.
The redshirt junior had an unbelievable week after a win over MIAA foe Northeastern State and a sweep at Southern Nazarene with a .688 average (11-of-16), with a homerun and three doubles, while slugging 1.063. Whitehouse accounted for 13 runs in the four wins.
Whitehouse, a native of Mansfield, Texas, is the second Ranger this season to receive the Player of the Week honor.
Entering Tuesday slate of games, Whitehouse is second in the conference with a .500 batting average, sandwiched between Andujar (.520) and Luis Mendoza (.486).
