ROSEMONT, Ill. – After helping the Indiana Baseball team to a series victory over Michigan, freshman designated hitter Hogan Denny picked up the conference's final Big Ten Freshman of the Week award, as announced on Monday (May 19) evening.
Denny slashed .455/.538/.636 in the series win over Michigan, collecting five hits in the three-game set. He delivered multi-hit games in wins on Thursday and Friday and also scored two runs with two RBIs. Denny and his fellow freshmen, first baseman Jake Hanley and third baseman Will Moore, combined for 12 hits over the weekend.
It has been an outstanding regular season for IU's true freshman class. The Hoosiers combined to win six of the 13 Big Ten Freshman of the Week awards handed out this season. Denny and Hanley each one two of them while Moore and shortstop Cooper Malamazian each won one.
Denny, the Mooresville, Indiana native, wrapped up the regular season with 38 hits and a .288 batting average. He had six home runs and 24 RBIs and is one of two players (Hanley) to win multiple weekly freshman awards this season from the Big Ten.
The Hoosiers are set to open the 2025 Big Ten Tournament on Tuesday at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. First pitch against No. 10-seeded Rutgers is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. CT on the Big Ten Network.
