Hoffpauir Grabs Pac-12 Honor

STANFORD, Calif. -- Sophomore right fielder Zach Hoffpauir has been named Pac-12 Player of the Week for the final week of the regular season, May 19-25, the Conference office announced Monday.

Hoffpauir the offense for the Cardinal, who went 4-0 over the week, including a road sweep against league-foe Utah to finish up the regular season. The sophomore batted a team-best .529 (9-for-17) with seven RBI, one double, two home runs and three runs scored. The Glendale, Ariz., native also posted a .556 on-base percentage and a .941 slugging percentage while extending his streak of reaching base safely to 15 games.

On Friday, he became just the third Pac-12 player in 2014 to register five hits in a game with a 5-for-5 day in a 5-0 win for Stanford. Hoffpauir capped the weekend by providing go-ahead home runs in both ends of the double header at Utah on Sunday. He finished the regular season seventh in the Pac-12 in batting average, registering a .339 on the year.

This is Hoffpauir’s  first-career Pac-12 Player of the Week honor and Stanford’s 71st all-time selection. He joins teammate Danny Diekroeger as the second Cardinal to earn the weekly honor in 2014.
