Alabama baseball’s standout first baseman, Will Hodo, earned the first Southeastern Conference (SEC) weekly honor of his career on Monday when he was named SEC Co-Player of the Week. This recognition also marked the first time an Alabama player has received a weekly award this season.
Hodo’s performance over the past week was nothing short of remarkable, but it was his clutch play on Sunday against Ohio State that solidified his place in Alabama baseball history. The senior delivered a dramatic walk-off home run to cap off an incredible comeback victory at the Jax College Baseball Classic. His game-winning blast completed the Crimson Tide’s rally from a staggering 10-0 deficit, the largest comeback in program history.
Hodo’s offensive contributions throughout the tournament were key to Alabama’s success, as he consistently provided timely hits and showcased his power at the plate. His ability to perform under pressure and lead by example has made him an integral part of the team’s lineup. The senior’s efforts not only helped Alabama secure the victory over Ohio State but also reinforced his reputation as a clutch performer in high-stakes moments.
Being named SEC Co-Player of the Week is a significant milestone for Hodo, as it recognizes his impact on the field and his role in Alabama’s early-season success. His walk-off home run will be remembered as one of the most thrilling moments of the season, and his leadership continues to be invaluable to the Crimson Tide.
With this honor, Hodo has set the tone for the remainder of the season, proving that he is one of the most dangerous hitters in the SEC. His recognition as Co-Player of the Week highlights both his individual excellence and the resilience of Alabama’s baseball program. As the season progresses, Hodo and the Crimson Tide will look to build on this momentum and continue making statements in conference play.
