Arizona State's Brandon Compton wins Pac-12 Freshman of the Year

After missing all of last year as a true freshman after Tommy John surgery, the pitching recruit out of high school has turned into one of the more dangerous bats in a stacked Sun Devil lineup. Compton leads all Pac-12 freshmen in home runs with 14 and RBI with 50 while hitting .363 for the season. Compton has been exceptionally good down the stretch, with a .478 average (22-46), 5 home runs, 14 RBI and 14 runs scored in 10 May games. This is the fourth time a Sun Devil has won this award and the first since Spencer Torkelson in 2018.
