Ryan Gallagher Award Pitcher of the Week Week Of 4/11/2022 Sport Baseball School UC Santa Barbara Year Freshman Position Right-Handed Pitcher Hometown Granite Bay, Calif. High School UC Santa Barbara right-hander Ryan Gallagher allowed a single run (via wild pitch) over a season-high 8.0 innings in Sunday’s 7-1 victory as the Gauchos completed the road sweep of CSUN. The freshman out of Granite Bay struck out five against four hits and four walks, one of them intentional, in improving his win-loss record to 3-0 on the year. Gallagher’s Gauchos have now won all four of their Big West sets, with CSUN marking their second sweep (both on the road), as UCSB (21-8, 10-2 Big West) has taken over sole possession of first place in the standings. Gallagher ranks third on the team in both innings (39.0) and strikeouts (31), with his season ERA at 3.46. He has allowed just one home run in those 39 frames. Gallagher is also a first-time Big West Pitcher of the Week, and the second Gaucho arm to be honored in 2022, following staff ace Cory Lewis on Feb. 28.
