COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Baseball junior OF Trey Harris (Powder Springs, Ga.) was named Collegiate Baseball Newspaper National Player of the Week, announced by the publication Monday morning (April 17). He is the first Mizzou player to earn the distinction since Tanner Houck (Collinsville, Ill.) took home the award on March 28 of last season. This is the first time Harris has earned the award as well.

Harris had a monster week for Mizzou, helping the Tigers to a 3-2 record in five games. Harris slugged five homers, including homering in four consecutive at-bats during the Kentucky series on Friday and Saturday. Harris homered three times in the Saturday game, making him the first Tiger with three homers in a game since Jacob Priday hit a school-record four in a 31-12 win over Texas on April 11, 2008. Harris now sits third in the SEC with 11 homers, the most by a Mizzou player since 2012. He drove in eight runs last week and scored seven more.

On the year, Harris is hitting .298 and leads the team in homers (11), walks (29), RBI (40) and slugging (.603) and he ranks second on the team in OBP (.436). Harris is now third in the SEC in slugging and 14th in on-base percentage while only two players have hit more home runs than his 11. He is also third in the SEC with 29 walks.

Harris and the Tigers close their six-game homestand tomorrow against Missouri State at 6:30 p.m.
