Holbrook Named Ivy League Rookie of the Week
4/28/2015 3:31:00 PM | Baseball
HANOVER, N.H. — The Ivy League announced its weekly baseball award winners this afternoon, and Dartmouth freshman Kyle Holbrook was selected as the Rookie of the Week for his performance against Harvard this past weekend. This is the second weekly honor of the season for the Big Green with sophomore Mike Concato earning the Pitcher of the Week award last week.
A 6-0, 185-pound outfielder from Broomfield, Colorado, Holbrook hit .500 (7-for-14) in the four-game sweep of the Crimson, scoring five runs and driving in six. He set the tone in the opener, going 2-for-2 with three runs and three RBIs, all coming on his first career home run in an 8-1 victory. The next game, Holbrook provided a pair of singles, scoring a run and driving in another during a four-run outburst in the seventh to help the Big Green rally for a 4-3 triumph. At Harvard on Sunday, he once again went 2-for-4 with a run and RBI, scoring one of the two runs in extra innings to lift Dartmouth to a 6-4 win. Finally, he delivered an RBI single and walked as the Green cruised to a 7-2 victory and the series sweep.
Holbrook has found his stroke in the second half of the season. After hitting just .102 over his first 18 contests, he has hit .352 over his last 18 to raise his average 119 points.
Holbrook is the first Dartmouth player to be named Rookie of the Week since Concato took home the honor each of the final two weeks of the 2014 season. He was also chosen as the Ivy League Player of the Week by College Sports Madness.
Dartmouth (20-19, 16-4 Ivy), plays Amherst this afternoon in its final regular-season contest before playing in the Ivy League Championship Series on May 9-10. The Big Green's opponent is still to be determined as Columbia and Penn tied for the top spot in the Gehrig Division and will play a one-game playoff at the Lions' Robertson Field at Satow Stadium on Saturday at 1 p.m. Whichever team wins that playoff will host Dartmouth in the best-of-three series to determine the Ivy League's representative in the NCAA Regionals.
