Washington State sophomore Grant Taylor was named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week on Monday following the series sweep over Arizona State. He is the first Cougar pitcher to earn the award this season and joins Jacob McKeon as the only two Cougs to earn conference honors this year.
Taylor helped start the Cougs off right on Thursday in a 2-0 victory. He pitched a complete game allowing two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts. It was the Cougars first complete game since Zane Mills last season against California and is the first to shut out an opponent since Scotty Sunitch threw a no-hitter against Oregon in 2018.
