IRVING, Texas - Baylor's Aaron Dodson and Justin Arrington were named Big 12 Player of the Week and Newcomer of the Week, respectively, the league announced Monday.

The last time Baylor had two players earn a weekly honor from the league in the same week was March 4, 2013, when Max Garner won the pitching honor and Cal Towey garnered the hitting honor. The duo joins Sean Spicer (Feb. 16, Big 12 Pitcher of the Week) on the list of players to collect a weekly league accolade this season. Dodson's player of the week award is the first for Baylor since Adam Toth was chosen on May 5, 2014, and Arrington's newcomer of the week award is the first for the Bears since Daniel Castano was selected on April 21, 2014.

Dodson hit .500 (8-for-16) in four games with five runs, three doubles, one triple, one RBI, 13 total bases, an .813 slugging percentage and a .500 on-base percentage last week for the Bears. In Wednesday's win over Northwestern State, the sophomore first baseman/catcher went 2-for-4 with two runs and a double. On Friday at Cal State Fullerton, he went 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, one triple and one RBI in the second game of a doubleheader. On Saturday at Cal State Fullerton, he went 3-for-5 with a run scored. The Cypress, Texas, native's back-to-back career-high three-hit games marked his team-leading fourth and fifth multi-hit games - he's had those five multi-hit efforts in seven games played this season as he missed the first week due to injury.

Arrington hit .417 (5-for-12) in four games with one run, one double, four RBI, six total bases, a .500 slugging percentage, one walk, a .462 on-base percentage and one steal. In Wednesday's win over Northwestern State, the junior transfer went 1-for-4 with a run, RBI and steal. In the first game of a doubleheader at Cal State Fullerton, he went 2-for-2 with an RBI, walk and double. In the second game, he went 1-for-3. In Saturday's finale, the Plano, Texas, native went 1-for-3 with two RBI to extend his on-base streak to seven games and hitting streak to five.

Of the 11 players to earn weekly awards from the league this season, Baylor and Oklahoma State lead the way with three apiece. Overall, the Bears have had 40 player of the week selections and seven newcomer of the week choices in the Big 12.
