Alabama-Huntsville shortstop/third baseman Grant DeBruin (SR, 6-3, 220, Boaz, AL) is the Gulf South Conference Baseball Player of the Week for the week ending February 12.
DeBruin collects his first-ever award thanks to a record-setting performance last week. The senior was the bright spot in UAH’s 0-4 week at Lynn, going 8-for-15 at the plate with two homeruns, a double, a triple and six RBI and also boasting a 1.133 slugging percentage. The Boaz, AL native blasted two, two-run homers in back-to-back contests, and he also made school history in game three, hitting for the cycle (the first documented cycle UAH history). His two-run blast tied the final game in the series, 9-9, but the Chargers fell in first extra-inning. DeBruin batted 5-for-8 with runners on base and 2-for-5 with runners in scoring position.
