IU senior starting pitcher Kyle Hart was named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week, the conference announced Monday morning. Hart went the distance in a one-run game Friday against Iowa.
The left-hander allowed just five men to reach base on four hits and five strikeouts. Hart led the Hoosiers to their seventh consecutive victory in the 7-1 win while picking up win number seven this season.
In the game, Hart surpassed two major career milestones. The win gave him No. 28 of his career, good enough for third on the all-time IU list, and he surpassed 200 strikeouts in his career. Hart is now tied for sixth on the all-time Hoosier strikeout list, and also reached 300 innings pitched.
This is the fourth time Hart has received this honor in his career and the second time this season.
