As our own McLain Moberg has chronicled so far this season, Michigan State baseball is off to a very hot start. Jake Boss’ team sits at 15-5 and is coming off a 4-0 week that included a sweep of Illinois in the Big Ten opening series.
Two players, Brandon Hughes and Bryce Kelley, were both recognized for their massive weeks with some impressive individual awards.
Like his basketball counterparts Miles Bridges and Nick Ward did so many times, Kelley brought home Big Ten Freshman of the week. The outfielder hit .462 (6-for-13), had six hits and scored five runs on the week.
