Carson Tinney had a heck of a week for Notre Dame, and he's been awarded for it Tinney's numbers are unreal, and he earns more than one award for his dream week
Carson Tinney has had a heck of a week, and now the Notre Dame Fighting Irish catcher has an award to show for it.
Tinney took home the Dick Howser Trophy National Co-Hitter of the Week trophy after batting 9-for-12 with nine hits, two doubles, four home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs scored as the Fighting Irish swept the Stanford Cardinal on the road.
He had an .800 on-base percentage, 1.917 slugging percentage and caught all four baserunners who attempted to steal against him. In the final game of the series, Tinney was 5-for-5 with a double, a home run, an RBI and four runs scored. Those were career highs for hits and runs scored during a single game.
During the week overall, Tinney was 10-for-15 with 10 hits, 11 runs, two doubles, five homers, five walks and nine RBI. He had a 1.800 slugging percentage and a .750 on-base percentage as Notre Dame went 4-0.
This is the first NCBWA Hitter of the Week honor for Tinney, and he also was ACC Player of the Week.
That's quite a seven days.

UNC baseball gets Luke Stevenson replacement with transfer portal commitment
UNC baseball gets Luke Stevenson replacement with transfer portal commitment Can UNC's first baseball transfer portal commitment make an immediate impact in 2026? Georgia State transfer catcher Colin Hynek has committed to North Carolina. In 2025, he hit .230 with 18 HRs and 45 RBIs, leading the team in homers and ranking fourth in RBIs and total bases. He had a .586 SLG, .396 OBP, and 36 walks. — Chris Smith (@chrismithunc) June 7, 2025 The UNC baseball team is extremely lucky to have Luke Stevenson behind the dish, but his time in Chapel Hill is likely coming to an end after the current season. Stevenson, mocked to be a first-round pick in July's MLB Draft, is a do-it-all catcher. Stevenson is the Diamond Heels' top power source, mashing 19 home runs, while he's also a defensive stalwart with only two errors. With Stevenson likely gone in 2026, North Carolina needs an answer at catcher. UNC also carries Liberty transfer Macaddin Dye behind the plate, plus Juco transfer Rom Kellis, but wants to add another option. The Diamond Heels are hoping that their latest roster addition is their answer behind the dish. On Saturday, North Carolina secured a commitment from Georgia State transfer Colin Hynek, who started 105 of the 132 games he played in Atlanta. Like Stevenson, Hynek is also a power threat at the plate, mashing 33 home runs and driving in 91 runs across thre seasons. By coming to Chapel Hill, Hynek will have a significantly better shot at competing for a championship. Georgia State just completed a 26-30 campaign and hasn't made the NCAA Tournament since 2009, while UNC is playing in the Super Regional round for a second-consecutive season. If you're following recent transactions across college baseball, there's plenty of transfers already in the portal, particularly from the Virginia Cavaliers. The Diamond Heels will benefit from adding more starting pitching to their 2026 roster, while more hitting power couldn't hurt.
