STANFORD, Calif. – Junior first baseman Andrew Daschbach is the Pac-12 Player of the Week, as announced Monday.
Daschbach, who hails from nearby Atherton, California, went 4-for-4 with four home runs and five RBI in a 7-1 win over Cal Poly (May 14), also going 3-for-5 with a pair of triples and two runs scored in Stanford's 8-5 win over Oregon State (May 17). Daschbach finished three games last week with 23 total bases, six RBI and six runs, becoming Stanford's third Pac-12 Player of the Week in five weeks.

Daschbach is the first player in the NCAA to hit four home runs in a game this season and the eighth to do so since 2013. He is the second-ever Pac-12 player to hit four homers in a game, joining UCLA's Bill Scott (vs. Washington on March 30, 1999).
Daschbach's 16 total bases against Cal Poly are the most of any player in the NCAA this season and the most in the Pac-12 by five. It was the first time a Stanford player had hit three home runs in a game since June 15, 2000 – Edmund Muth hit three in a College World Series matchup against Louisiana-Lafayette. Daschbach's four homers tie for the third-most in a single game in NCAA history – Marshall McDougall hit six for Florida State on May 9, 1999 and Henry Rochelle hit five for Campbell on March 30, 1985.
