RICHMOND, Va. – Neaves Tabbed CAA Player of the Week

Avery Neaves has been named the CAA Player of the Week following one of the top two-game performances in College of Charleston history. The Cougars have had consecutive players of the week after Cole Mathis won the award last week. Charleston also has three pitchers and one rookie of the week honor this year.

Historic Performance

Neaves went 8-for-8 with all eight of his hits going for extra bases as the Cougars took a pair of games from Towson last weekend. The graduate transfer outfielder had three doubles, two triples, and three home runs, scored eight runs, and drove in five against the Tigers. He also walked twice and was hit by a pitch, putting him on base in all 11 plate appearances.

Leadoff Success

Since being inserted into the leadoff spot four games ago, Neaves is 12-for-16 with 16 runs scored and five RBIs. The hot stretch raised his average to .344, second on the team, and he ranks second in the CAA and 19th nationally with 19 doubles. He also leads the team with 12 homers, 50 runs scored, a .720 slugging percentage, and 38 walks.

Impressive Stats

Neaves’ performance not only earned him the CAA Player of the Week honor but also solidified his position as a key player for the Cougars. His ability to get on base consistently and produce extra-base hits has been instrumental in Charleston’s success this season.
