CARY, N.C. – Mississippi State’s Evan Siary put together one of the best outings of his career last weekend against conference foe No. 24 Ole Miss. Thanks to his efforts on the bump, he has been named USA Baseball’s Golden Spikes Award Week 13 Player of the Week presented by Chinook Seedery and DI Baseball.

Siary tossed a career-long eight shutout innings and fanned a career-high 15 batters in the Diamond Dawgs’ 4-1 win over the Rebels in the second game of a doubleheader on May 9. He managed to improve his record to 2-1 and lower his ERA to 4.06 on the year.

Siary did not walk any Rebels and scattered six hits on a career-high 98 pitches. Prior to Friday, he had not struck out more than six in any of his previous 36 appearances over the course of his career. Siary's strikeout total was the most of any pitcher during conference play this season, and it ties LSU's Anthony Eyanson's performance against North Alabama on March 8 for the most by any Southeastern Conference (SEC) hurler in 2025.

Thanks to his efforts, Siary was named the SEC pitcher of the Week on May 12.
