Gartman Named AAC Pitcher of the Week, Webb Named to Weekly Honor Roll
May 22, 2022 | Baseball
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – After a nearly flawless start Thursday against Tulane, RHP Landon Gartman has been named the American Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week. It's the first Player/Pitcher of the Week award for the Tigers this season. Additionally, 2B Braden Webb was named to the AAC Weekly Honor Roll after a string of dominant offensive games.
Thursday, Gartman spun one of the best performances for a Memphis pitcher this season, likely the second best to only his eight-inning no-hit effort against East Carolina May 6. In the opener vs. the Green Wave, Gartman retired 15 of the 16 batters that he faced, as the only man to reach against him in the victory was on a fourth inning home run. Gartman matched his season-high with 10 strikeouts and didn't walk a batter as he notched his team-best sixth win of the season.
On the year, Gartman is 6-1 with a 3.53 ERA. In 14 appearances, 12 starts, the right-hander has 88 strikeouts and just 26 walks in 79 innings. Gartman has held opponents to a team-best .177 batting average and has twice been named to the AAC Weekly Honor Roll.
Webb is riding his best stretch at the plate this season, as he notched multiple hits in each of the first two games of the series vs. Tulane, which gave him four consecutive multi-hit performances. Against the Green Wave, Webb went 5-11 (.455) with a home run, his first of the season, and two RBIs. The second baseman wrapped up the weekend with a .727 SLG and team-best .500 OBP.
The sophomore hit .309 across 27 games, 16 starts, in the regular season. Webb tallied a home run, six RBIs, five doubles, and scored 17 runs. He finished the regular season with a .390 OBP, .426 SLG, and was a perfect 3-3 in stolen base attempts.
Memphis returns to action Tuesday at the AAC Tournament in Clearwater, Fla. The Tigers will open tournament play at 3 p.m. vs. #2 UCF.
