Frye Named SoCon Player Of The Week

MACON – After powering the Mercer offense and helping the team post a perfect 4-0 week, Mercer shortstop Bradley Frye has been named the Southern Conference Baseball Player of the Week for all contests from Feb. 17-23, the league office announced Monday.

Frye was outstanding across four games last week, going 11-for-17 at the plate for a .647 batting average. The senior scored six runs, drove in seven runs and smacked three doubles on the week, including a four hit, two double and three RBI day in the series finale against Kent State on Sunday. Frye also drew two walks and was hit by a pitch against Kennesaw State on Wednesday, bringing his OBP for the week to .700 and his OPS to 1.524.

For the season, Frye leads the Bears and ranks fifth in the SoCon with a .467 batting average, while his 10 RBI, .467 OBP and 1.296 OPS also rank among the league leaders. A preseason all-conference selection, Frye is entering his third season as an everyday starter in the middle of the infield for the Bears, logging 112 starts since arriving in Macon ahead of the 2023 campaign. The native of Marietta, Ga. was a SoCon All-Tournament Team pick last season, hitting .455 with three home runs and 10 RBI across five games.

The Bears look to win their seventh game in a row tomorrow against Florida A&M at OrthoGeorgia Park in the first of two midweek contests. First pitch for Tuesday's game is set for 6 p.m., while the Bears will host the Rattlers again on Wednesday at 4 p.m. The homestand continues over the weekend, as the Bears are set to host High Point on Friday and Sunday and Florida A&M on Saturday.
