OREGON STATE'S TREVOR LARNACH NAMED PLAYER OF THE WEEK
STANFORD'S TRISTAN BECK TABBED PITCHER OF THE WEEK

SAN FRANCISCO -The Pac-12 Conference office announced today Trevor Larnach of OREGON STATE was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week and Tristan Beck of STANFORD was tabbed Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week for the action during the week of Feb. 14-19.

Pac-12 Baseball Player of the Week: Trevor Larnach, Jr., OF, Oregon State (Pleasant Hill, Calif.)

Larnach paced Oregon State to a 4-0 start over opening weekend by reaching base 12-of-13 plate appearances. OSU started the week with a 5-2 win over New Mexico, followed victories over Gonzaga (4-3), Cal Poly (16-7), and New Mexico again on Monday, 15-3.

The junior led OSU with eight hits, three home runs, seven RBIs and a .778 on-base percentage. After opening the season with a strikeout, Larnach has an active streak of reaching base 12 consecutive times through the first four games.

Became the first OSU player since Michael Conforto in 2013 to homer in three consecutive games. On Saturday, Larnach hit a pivotal home run against Gonzaga to break a 2-2 tie en route to the Beavers’ 4-3 win.

Earns first career Pac-12 Player of the Week honor and Oregon State’s 131st all-time weekly nod.

Pac-12 Baseball Pitcher of the Week: Tristan Beck, Jr., RHP, Stanford (Corona, Calif.)

Beck shined on the mound in No. 13 Stanford’s season opener as he helped the Cardinal to a 5-1 victory over No. 17 Cal State Fullerton on Friday. The Cardinal went on to sweep the weekend series against Fullerton with a 5-3 win on Saturday and 6-5 win on Sunday.

Beck pitched six innings and totaled five strikeouts to help the Cardinal jump out to a commanding 5-0 lead in the season debut. Beck gave up just four hits and allowed only one walk and one run in his first start since his freshman year.
