CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Notre Dame sophomore catcher Carson Tinney was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Player of the Week on Monday, April 21 for his performance last week.
A native of Castle Pines, Colorado, Tinney hit .667 on the week after going 10-for-15 at the plate with two doubles, five home runs, five walks, nine runs batted in, and 11 runs scored. He had a .750 on-base percentage with a 1.800 slugging percentage as the Irish went 4-0 on the week. Tinney went 9-for-12 at the dish in a three-game sweep at Stanford over the weekend to hit .750 in the series. He had four home runs, seven runs batted in, and 10 runs scored while slugging 1.917 on the weekend. He went 5-for-5 in the series finale with a double, a home run, an RBI, and four runs scored. He became the first Irish hitter since 2011 to go 5-for-5 in a game.
Defensively, Tinney threw out all four Stanford base runners who attempted to steal in the three-game stint.
It is the first ACC Player of the Week honor of Tinney’s career.
