Junior outfielder Will Gasparino has been named the UCLA Student-Athlete of the Week for his performance in athletic competitions from February 10 to 16. Gasparino’s week included going 7-for-13 at the plate, hitting five home runs, driving in 13 runs, and scoring seven times. He also drew four walks and was hit by a pitch twice. His efforts helped lead the Bruins to a sweep over No. 7 TCU.
Gasparino had two games with multiple home runs: first in a midweek victory over Tulane and again during the series finale against TCU. Over the week, he posted a slugging percentage of 1.769 and an on-base percentage of .684, while successfully handling all seven defensive chances in the outfield.
This is Gasparino’s first time receiving UCLA’s student-athlete of the week award.
