Baseball: KU garners more honors

By Staff     Feb 19, 2003

Kansas University third baseman Travis Metcalf was named NCAA baseball’s National Hitter of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Assn., the group announced Tuesday.

Metcalf, a sophomore from Wamego, also was tapped the Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Baseball Player of the Week in a vote by a select panel of media members.

He went 10-for-17 (for a .588 batting average) and had five extra-base hits in the 21st-ranked Jayhawks’ four victories last week.

Metcalf is the second Kansas player — joining junior first baseman Ryan Baty — to win the NCAA award in three weeks after helping KU to a three-game sweep of then-No. 6 Louisiana State in Baton Rouge, La.
