Pitt went 2-1 in the All-American Classic over the weekend, and Tatem Levins made his mark by homering in all three games. His strong weekend on the diamond didn’t go unnoticed, and ACC honors followed shortly after.
The ACC announced Monday that Levins’ performance over the week of March 7 earned him ACC Baseball Player of the Week honors. Notre Dame’s Austin Temple was named ACC Pitcher of the Week.
Levins, a junior catcher from Langhorne, Pa who transferred from La Salle, hit home runs against Army, Ohio State and Campbell over the weekend. Levins went 2-for-4 at the plate against Army, with a double, a home run and an RBI. He went 1-for-4 against Ohio, his lone hit driving in two runs courtesy of a homer. And against Campbell, he completed a 3-for-5 game, with a grand slam and six RBI.
With a 1.231 slugging percentage and 1.693 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS), Levins led Pitt offensively in the All-American Classic.
