BOONE, N.C. – App State sophomore Tyler Figueroa has been named the Sun Belt Baseball Player of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.
Figueroa's honor is the second weekly award garnered by App State Baseball this season, after Caleb Marks was named the Sun Belt Pitcher of the Week on March 11.
In four games for the Mountaineers last week, Figueroa went 8-for-19 (.421) at the plate, with a double, three home runs, 10 RBIs and five runs scored.
Figueroa blasted a grand slam on Sunday as part of a seven-run third inning to help App State earn a series victory at ULM.
