Kohn Earns SEC Pitcher Of The Week Honor
March 24, 2025 | Baseball
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State's Pico Kohn was selected as the Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Week following his dominant outing at No. 10 Oklahoma this past Friday.
Kohn started and limited the Sooners to just two hits while logging six shutout innings in a 2-1 win. He also struck out 10 – one shy of his career-high – and only surrendered four base runners while improving to 4-0 on the mound. The Verbena, Alabama native fanned eight-straight batters between the third and fifth frames.
It was the third double-digit strikeout performance the junior southpaw has had in his six starts this season.
On the year, Kohn sports a 2.52 earned run average along with a team-best 53 strikeouts and only seven walks through 35 2/3 innings of work. The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder leads the SEC with a WHIP of 0.70, ranks second with a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 7.57 and has limited opponents to a .148 batting average against him.
Kohn is the 41st Diamond Dawg hurler to be tabbed as SEC Pitcher of the Week and first since Parker Stinnett in 2022.
