Wehiwa Aloy Named SEC Player of the Week

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Wehiwa Aloy has earned SEC player of the week honors after powering the Razorback offense through its trip to Globe Life Field and helping Arkansas get off to its best seven-game start (6-1) since the 2021 season.

Aloy slashed a team-leading .571/.667/1.071 with two home runs and five RBI over four games on the week, first helping Arkansas complete its Opening Weekend series sweep against Washington State before it won two games, including a pair of ranked wins over TCU and Michigan, in the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series in Arlington, Texas.

The Razorback shortstop recorded three multi-hit games and two multi-RBI performances during the week, highlighted by a career high-tying four-hit effort in the win against the Wolverines. Aloy began his week with a two-hit, two-RBI game against Washington State on Feb. 17, also drawing a pair of walks in the Hogs’ series-sweeping win.

Aloy swatted his first homer of the week in the opener at Globe Life Field against Kansas State on Feb. 21, finishing with two hits and an RBI. His younger brother, Kuhio, also homered in the same inning as the two combined for a rare feat that, according to Elias Sports Bureau, has only been accomplished by seven pairs of brothers in the MLB since 1900.

Aloy closed out the week with a four-hit effort against Michigan on Feb. 23, coming a triple away from the cycle while finishing the game 4-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBI to go along with two singles, a double and a solo homer.
