AUSTIN, Texas—After hitting .368/.400/.632 in the Longhorns' 5-0 week, Texas Baseball redshirt-freshman Zach Zubia has been named Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Week, the league announced today.
Zubia, who has reached base safely in 33 consecutive games this season, hit his sixth homer of the season on Sunday afternoon and drove in two during the week. Zubia also added two doubles as the Longhorns' designated hitter.
The conference honor is the first for Zubia in his career and the second newcomer nod for a Longhorn after Masen Hibbeler picked up the award on March 19.
