Miami infielder Jake Ogden has been named ACC Player of the Week following a dominant stretch at the plate, highlighted by his performance in Miami’s series victory this past weekend over Virginia Tech.
The Homestead, Fla., native powered the Hurricanes (24-8, 6-6 ACC) offensively across the weekend, helping Miami secure a 2-1 series win over the Hokies. In the three-game set, Ogden hit .538 (7-for-13) with four runs scored, two doubles, two triples, one home run, four RBI and 15 total bases, posting a 1.154 slugging percentage and .571 on-base percentage.
Ogden has shown incredible improvement over the past few weeks. Before Miami took their first ACC series at Clemson last week, the senior infielder was batting .242 with a .361 on-base percentage. But in Miami’s past seven games, he is hitting .485 (16-for-33) with 12 runs scored, four doubles, two triples, one home run and seven RBI, posting a .818 slugging percentage and .514 on-base percentage.
Over Miami’s last five games, Ogden is batting .591 (13-for-22) with seven extra-base hits, seven RBI and 24 total bases, good for a 1.091 slugging percentage and .625 on-base percentage. He has recorded four multi-hit performances during that span.
This marks the first ACC weekly honor of Ogden’s career. He and the Hurricanes will return to action Tuesday against FIU, with first pitch set for 6 p.m. at Mark Light Field with live coverage provided on ACCNX and WVUM 90.5 FM.
