IRVING, Texas — After a four-game stretch featuring five doubles and two home runs, BYU shortstop Ryder Robinson was named Big 12 Co-Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.
Robinson becomes the second Cougar of the season to earn the league’s Player of the Week honor, following first baseman Cooper Vest who shared the week-two award with Nu’u Contrades of ASU on Feb. 24.
In four games during week 10, Robinson helped BYU to a 9-3 win over Utah Valley and a 12-5 upset of now No. 16 Arizona on April 15 and 17, respectively. Robinson collected five doubles over four games while registering 10 hits on 19 at bats with four runs scored, two homers, five RBI and 21 total bases. For the week, Robinson slugged 1.105 and totaled an on-base percentage of .550.
The 6-foot-2 shortstop continued his leadership of the Cougar infield with a perfect fielding percentage highlighted by two putouts and eight assists over four games. Robinson enters week 11 ranked second in the Big 12 in total assists with 111.
On the season, Robinson is now ranked third among BYU batters in runs scored (35), home runs (7) and total bases (75).
The sophomore switch hitter from American Fork, Utah joined the Cougars following his freshman season at TCU in 2024. While with the Horned Frogs a season ago, Robinson scored 24 runs on 32 hits with seven doubles, two home runs and 20 RBI while starting 43 of 47 games played.
A product of American Fork High School, Robinson helped the Cavemen to three state championships while garnering a list of honors as a senior that included 2023 Utah Gatorade and Prep Baseball Report Player of the Year, as well as ABCA/Rawlings High School Second Team All-America.
