Missouri’s Glendinning named SEC Player of the Week

riggertMissouriCOLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Baseball junior INF Robbie Glendinning (Scarborough, Australia) was named SEC Co-Player of Week, announced Monday (March 13) by the league office. This is the first weekly conference honor for Mizzou Baseball this season Glendinning’s first career SEC honor. The Australia native notched a pair of walk-off singles and hit a team-high .476 as Mizzou extended its national-best winning streak to 15 games.

Glendinning was a key reason why Mizzou was able to run its record to 15-1, matching the best start in program history, with a 5-0 mark last week. He hit a walk-off, 10th-inning single in a 7-6 win over a quality Western Carolina team Wednesday. He then tallied a ninth-inning, bases-loaded single to walk-off in Sunday’s win over Appalachian State, completing the sweep. In five games last week, Glendinning hit .476 with five runs, four RBI, two doubles, a triple and a homer while walking three times.

On the best offensive team in the SEC, Glendinning has emerged as the top offensive weapon for first-year head coach Steve Bieser. Glendinning ranks third in the SEC in batting (.429) and on-base percentage (.540) while checking in at fifth overall in slugging (.694).

Glendinning and the Tigers close a 10-game homestand with a pair of midweek games vs. Chicago State on Tuesday and Wednesday before opening SEC play at Alabama this weekend.
