Robertson Named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week
April 25, 2022 | Baseball
NORMAN – Blake Robertson registered an incredible 11 hits and 11 RBIs in Oklahoma's series sweep at Kansas over the weekend and was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
Robertson compiled an astronomical .647 batting average, .700 on-base percentage and 1.118 slugging percentage in the series. He also notched six extra base hits (five doubles, one home run), three walks and two stolen bases. Including OU's Tuesday win over Wichita State, he totaled 12 hits, 12 RBIs, 10 runs, six doubles and four walks while batting .600 in four games last week.
An Edmond, Okla., product, Robertson tallied five hits in the series opener, matching his total from April 12 against Texas Tech (also tied for most by a Big 12 player in a game this season). He also recorded two doubles, four RBIs and scored three runs in the 15-2 win on Friday night. He followed that performance with four hits (two doubles) in Saturday's 14-inning marathon victory, including a double in the 14th that set up OU's winning run. On Sunday, Robertson drove in six runs on two hits, including a three-run home run, and scored four runs as the Sooners completed the sweep with a 24-4 victory.
This is the first Big 12 weekly award for Robertson, and Oklahoma's third of the season. Chazz Martinez was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 28 and David Sandlin was named Newcomer of the Week on March 14.
The Sooners (25-13) travel to Tulsa, Okla., on Tuesday to face Oral Roberts. Game time is set for 6 p.m.
