Siary Selected As SEC Pitcher Of The Week
May 12, 2025 | Baseball
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State's Evan Siary was selected as the Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Week on Monday.
The junior right-hander posted a career-high 15 strikeouts over a career-long eight shutout innings in the Diamond Dawgs' 4-1 win against No. 24 Ole Miss in the second game of a doubleheader last Friday.
Siary did not walk any Rebels and scattered six hits on a career-high 98 pitches. Prior to Friday, the Columbus Mississippi native hadn't struck out more than six in any of his previous 36 appearances over the course of his career.
Siary's strikeout total was the most of any pitcher during conference play this season and ties LSU's Anthony Eyanson's performance against North Alabama on March 8 for the most by any SEC hurler in 2025.
The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder improved to 2-1 on the mound and lowered his ERA to 4.06 on the year. In 13 appearances and eight starts, Siary has fanned 57 and walked only 13 through 44 1/3 innings of work while limiting opposing hitters to a .225 batting average.
Siary is the 42nd Bulldog all-time to be named SEC Pitcher of the Week and second this season. Pico Kohn earned the honor on March 24.
