Tim Tadlock unanimously earned the Big 12 Coach of the Year, and Eric Gutierrez won the Big 12 Player of the Year in baseball.  

The awards were voted on by the league’s head coaches, who are not allowed to vote for their own players.

Gutierrez became a three-time Big 12 First Team honoree.  He was also the first Texas Tech Red Raider to win player of the year since 1997.

Gutierrez led the Big 12 in-conference games with the most home runs, RBI’s and hitting percentage.
