Kutz collects Big 12 Pitcher of the Week honors
February 18, 2025 | Cowgirl Softball
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State Softball's Katie Kutz was named the Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week following a string of strong performances last weekend, it was announced today.
The right-handed sophomore picked up three victories in four appearances at the Shriners Children's Clearwater Invitational, all of which came against teams ranked inside the Top 25 of both the national polls as she tallied decisions against then-No. 23/24 Kentucky, then-No. 5/5 Texas A&M and then-No. 14/12 Alabama.
In those three games against ranked opponents, Kutz allowed only two earned runs in 9.0 innings of work to go with seven strikeouts.
Across her four appearances on the weekend, which included a scoreless outing against then-RV/RV Auburn (now No. 20/18), the McLean, Va., native held a 1.20 ERA in 11.2 IP and totaled 10 strikeouts while not allowing any extra-base hits.
Kutz improved to 4-1 on the season with the wins and leads the team with a 1.84 ERA.
The honor marks Kutz's first weekly conference award of her career, and the first of the season for the Pokes.
Kutz and the Cowgirls head to Conway, Ark., this weekend for the Michelle Short and Adam Brown Tournament hosted by Central Arkansas, where they are slated to open play at noon on Feb. 21 against SIUE. Fans can listen to the game on the Varsity Network app with Ryan Breeden on the call.
