Iowa baseball infielder named Big Ten Player of the Week
Iowa baseball infielder named Big Ten Player of the Week KOOOOP!!!! Nelson plates a run on an error + Schulte with a double and the Hawks are back on top!!! #Hawkeyes — Iowa Baseball (@UIBaseball) April 5, 2025 With Iowa baseball (20-10, 12-3 Big Ten) returning home following a weekend conference series victory over Northwestern (14-15, 6-6), Hawkeyes' junior shortstop Kooper Schulte was named Big Ten Player of the Week on Monday. Schulte slashed a 0.600 batting average, 0.692 on-base, and a 1.200 slugging percentage while leading all Big Ten hitters with a 1.892 OPS on the week. He tallied seven RBIs and five runs scored as Iowa went 3-1 on the week, defeating Bradley and winning its fifth straight Big Ten series at Northwestern. The New London, Iowa, native hit 0.571 with runners on and successfully advanced runners in 7 of 9 chances. He also went 4-for-4 with runners on third base with less than two outs during the four-game span. In his most impressive game of the week, Schulte went 3-for-3 with two doubles as the second-baseman in Iowa's 7-1 win on Saturday after being a late addition to the lineup following a scratch to Ben Swails an hour before the first pitch. The honor is Schulte's first of his career and the Hawkeyes' second Player of the Week this season, joining Reese Moore's March 24th distinction. Schulte joins junior starting pitcher Cade Obermueller, who was also named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week in the conference's honors on Monday. Iowa's next game will be later today vs. UW-Milwaukee (9-20, 7-4 Horizon League) with the first pitch from Duane Banks Field coming at 4:02 p.m. CT.

Spartans LHP Joseph Dzierwa named Big Ten Pitcher of Week again
It appears Michigan State baseball has a special one in Joseph Dzierwa. For a second straight week, Dzierwa has been named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week. The left-handed junior pitcher received the honor from the league on Monday afternoon. According to Michigan State Athletics, Dzierwa becomes the first Michigan State baseball player to earn a Big Ten weekly award of any kind in consecutive weeks in program history. Dzierwa racked up a career-high 12 strikeouts in 7.0 innings pitched in his second career start last week against Washington State. He surrendered only one hit and one walk, and those both came in the first frame. In two starts this season, Dzierwa has given up only two hits, two walks and zero earned runs across 13.0 innings pitched. He has recorded 23 strikeouts between the two starts. Michigan State baseball is off to a great start this year, with a 6-1 record thus far. The Spartans moved into the NCBWA (National College Baseball Writers Association) rankings this week (No. 23) for the first time since 2016.
