Ten Cowboys earned honors as the Big 12 announced its regular season awards today, highlighted by Michael Freeman winning Big 12 Pitcher of the Year.
Freeman was the runaway favorite after dominating opposing hitters this season. He averaged 8.17 strikeouts per nine innings and held opponents to a .183 batting average. The senior came out of nowhere this season after throwing just 14.1 innings last year. Freeman is the second Cowboy to win this award (Andrew Heaney, 2012).
Along with Freeman, two other Cowboys were named First Team All-Big 12. Gage Green, OSU’s catcher/outfielder/whatever-the-team-needs-him-to-do, was the only Cowboy to start all 51 games this year.
