Sikkema Nabs SEC Pitcher of the Week

Junior LHP TJ Sikkema was named the Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Week (April 22-28), following a dominant outing last Saturday against South Carolina.
Monday's honor marked Sikkema's first career SEC Pitcher of the Week award and third overall accolade by the league office. In his first-year campaign, he was named SEC Co-Freshman of the Week twice (May 22, 2017 // March 20, 2017).
Against the Gamecocks, Sikkema tossed 7.0 shutout frames with 10 strikeouts while not allowing a single hit. The 10 punch outs upped his career total to 238, surpassing former Tiger great RHP Max Scherzer for seventh place all-time on Mizzou's career strikeouts list.
Saturday marked Sikkema's fourth, 10-plus strikeout performance of the season and fifth such occurrence in his black and gold career. All four of his double-digit strikeout outings have come in SEC play this season.
He becomes the first Tiger hurler to toss four, 10-plus strikeout performances in a single-season since 2009, as RHP Kyle Gibson accomplished the feat in midst of his Second-Team All-America campaign.
The Tiger lefty is currently riding a three-start streak at home with 10-plus strikeouts. Sikkema opened the streak with 11 strikeouts vs. Kentucky (April 7), followed by 10 punch outs vs. No. 8 LSU (April 13) and the aforementioned 10 strikeouts Saturday vs. South Carolina.
In the national individual rankings, Sikkema's 1.31 ERA ranks eighth, 81 strikeouts ranks 39th and 1.00 WHIP ranks 55th. In SEC only play, he ranks top-5 with his 49.0 innings pitched (tied for first), 20 strikeouts looking (second), 1.65 ERA (fourth), 56 strikeouts (fourth), and .180 batting average against (sixth).
