Martinez Named National Pitcher of the Week
March 01, 2022 | Baseball
NORMAN – Oklahoma pitcher Chazz Martinez has been named the Dick Howser Trophy National Pitcher of the Week after his 14-strikeout performance on Sunday, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association announced Tuesday.
Martinez, who was also named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week and one of Collegiate Baseball's National Players of the Week, registered his 14 strikeouts over 7.0 shutout innings to lead the Sooners to a 5-1 series-clinching victory over Northwestern State. The redshirt sophomore from San Pedro, Calif., struck out six straight batters in the second and third innings, and later retired nine batters in a row following a one-out double in the fourth inning. He did not allow a runner past second base in the game.
The 14 strikeouts by Martinez were the most by an OU pitcher since Levi Prater had 15 against Missouri State in 2019. It was also the first time a Sooner pitcher struck out six consecutive batters since Jake Irvin against Oklahoma State in 2018.
Through two starts this season, Martinez is 1-0 and has allowed only seven hits, one walk and one unearned run while registering 19 strikeouts in 11.2 innings.
The Sooners play next weekend at the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic at Minute Maid Park in Houston. OU faces LSU at 3 p.m. Friday, UCLA at 11 a.m. Saturday and Tennessee at 11 a.m. Sunday.
