RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – Mulerider baseball's Jayden Hill has been named the Great American Conference Player of the Week after his outstanding performance this past weekend against Southern Nazarene University.
 
The Lone Star native is the first of Mulerider Baseball to claim the honor since former right fielder Conner Allen obtained the award during Week Four of the 2022-23 campaign. In his ninth season at the helm, Coach Justin Pettigrew now sees his 14^th Great American Conference Player of the Week plaudit.
 
Hill, a junior outfielder from Frisco, Texas, finished the three-game series going 7-for-12 (.583 average) while hitting four total home runs with nine RBIs, eight runs scored, and three walks while only striking out twice. Hill compiled a .706 on-base percentage and slugged 1.583. Hill also hit two home runs in both the first and second game to light the Muleriders' offense ablaze and contribute to their 21-6 win in the first game while also tying the second game in the top of the seventh inning with a mammoth home run to right field.
