Following a phenomenal weekend at the plate, Ace Reese is the SEC baseball Player of the Week.

Reese is coming off a dominant weekend at the plate after Mississippi State swept Missouri a combined 50-11 in three games. As good as the State offense was as a whole, Reese did as much damage as anyone.

The sophomore from Canton, Texas, was 8-for-12 with 11 runs, six RBI, four home runs, three doubles and five walks. He’s had four-straight games with multiple hits and had three hits in a trio of those contests.

Reese is in the middle of a 21-game hitting streak dating back to the UAB game on April 8. During that stretch, the Houston transfer has 34 runs, 27 RBI, 12 walks, 10 doubles and 10 home runs.

State’s starting third baseman for 51 of the 52 games, Reese is having a phenomenal sophomore campaign. He’s averaging .363 with 73 hits, 56 runs, 21 home runs, 17 doubles and 64 RBI while slugging .771 and he leads the team in all of those categories. In SEC play alone, Reese is batting .402 with 49 hits, 15 home runs and 12 doubles.

There’s more potential hardware on the way later on Monday. Reese still has a chance at the Ferriss Trophy – an award for the top baseball player in the state of Mississippi. He is also likely to take home SEC postseason honors when the league announces those awards on Monday.

Reese and his teammates are winners of nine of the last 10 games heading into the SEC Tournament on Tuesday. The Bulldogs are slated to play Texas A&M in the first round Tuesday night at 8 p.m. in Hoover, Ala.
