COLUMBUS, Ohio – Christian Snavely (Jr., Defiance, Ohio/Defiance) was named the Big Ten Co-Player of the Week Monday after batting .529 (9-for-17) in five games last week with home runs in the first three games against Indiana.
It is the second straight Big Ten Player of the Week honor for Snavely, who also shared accolades last week. This past weekend against Indiana, he batted .500 (7-for-14) with seven RBI and six runs scored. Of his nine hits for the week, three were doubles and three were home runs, giving him 21 total bases and a slugging percentage of 1.235.
Snavely is batting .531 with 17 hits in the Buckeyes’ last 10 games. Prior to that, the junior from Defiance was struggling at the plate with just one multiple-hit game and a .203 batting average. In the last 10 games, he has upped his average to .307 and has five multiple hit games, including three hits efforts against Iowa and two against Indiana.
Ohio State will play host to Shawnee State Wednesday at 6:35 p.m. at Bill Davis Stadium before traveling to Purdue for a four-game conference series this weekend.
