BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University sophomore centerfielder Jalen DeBose has been named Conference USA Hitter of the Week following week one of the season, as announced by C-USA on Monday.
DeBose hit .500 (5-for-10) with an OPS of 1.683 in the Owls' first three games with three doubles, a home run and 10 RBI.
On the Owls' opening Friday night, DeBose was the only Owl to record an RBI, going 1-for-4 on the day. On Saturday, he was 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI. The two-day total of five RBI matched his production for the entirety of 2021. On Sunday, he added five more to his RBI count for a total of 10 on the season, doubling his 2021 production in just three games. He was 2-for-2 on the day with another double and his first career home run, a line drive over the centerfield wall.
DeBose's efforts were instrumental in the Owls beating Minnesota 2-of-3 with the final game on tap scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday night. FAU will then face their first road test traveling to Miami on Wednesday, Feb. 23 for a 6 p.m. game versus the University of Miami, ranked No. 24 by Collegiate Baseball.
