Auburn's Davis Daniel has been named Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
The right-hander earned his first career SEC win on Sunday on the road at Georgia with six shutout innings. He struck out six Bulldogs and allowed just five base runners in his first career road start.
Daniel improved to 2-0 on the season and helped Auburn to its sixth-consecutive series win to open the 2017 season. The Tigers are 20-6 on the year, the fastest Auburn has reached 20 wins since 2004.
The Montgomery native has 25 strikeouts in 26.1 innings on the season with only six walks. He is the second-straight Auburn freshman to earn SEC Freshman of the Week honors joining teammate Will Holland who received the award March 20.
Auburn is nationally ranked No.17 in the D1baseball.com, USA Today and coaches polls. The Tigers came in at the 18 spot in Baseball America's poll.
