Utah’s TJ Clarkson wins Pac-12 Player of the Week award, presented by Rawlings. Slashed .583 / .667 / 1.583 in a road series win for the Utes at Arizona State, the team's 4th of the season and first over ASU since a sweep in 2017. Homered in all 3 ASU games for a weekend total of 4 long balls, including 2 in a come-from-behind rubber game victory. Had multiple hits in all 3 games, capped with a 3-for-4 line in the rubber game where he walked twice and also was intentionally walked 2 more times. Clarkson's 1st homer on Sunday brought the Utes within a run to trail 4-3 in the 3rd inning. Then in the 6th, his 2-run shot on the first pitch put the team in front for good. Put on this performance about 25 minutes away from his hometown of Gilbert, Arizona. Has raised his batting average from just .115 during the WSU conference-opening series to now .254 2nd time he has won this award (2023 - March 6) and the only Utah player to earn this honor in the last 7 seasons
