LSU right-hander Paul Skenes was named the Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Week by the league office on Monday.

Skenes worked a season-high of 7 1/3 innings at Auburn on Friday night, allowing no runs on six hits with one walk and a career-high 15 strikeouts.

He became the first LSU pitcher to strike out fifteen batters in a single game since Tyler Jones, who had 15 strikeouts against UNO on May 17, 2011. 

But Skenes’ outing marked the most strikeouts by an LSU pitcher in an SEC game since April 24, 2009, when Anthony Ranaudo fanned 15 against Auburn in Baton Rouge. 

Skenes now holds a 9-1 record, leading the nation with 139 strikeouts. He is also No. 1 in the SEC in ERA (1.73), innings pitched (72 2/3) and opponent batting average (.165).
