Kentucky Wildcats senior catcher Alonzo Rubalcaba has been named SEC Co-Player of the Week along with South Carolina’s Braylen Wimmer.
Rubalcaba joins Chase Estep as Kentucky’s second winner of the award this season and SEC-best 19th Player/Pitcher of the Week since head coach Nick Mingione took over in 2017.
Among Rubalcaba’s biggest highlights this past week included a first inning grand slam in Sunday’s series rubber match against the No. 14 Georgia Bulldogs as the Wildcats won 18-5.
For the week, Rubalcaba batted .500 with a team-high seven RBI, eight hits, five runs and a pair of extra-base hits.
