COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 9, 2026) – Washington State catcher Alexandre Giguère was named the Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.
In three games last week at Texas State, Giguère hit three home runs, drove in five runs, scored five runs with a .364 batting average and slugged 1.182. In Thursday's opener, Giguère came off the bench and hit first career homer, walked and scored twice. The Levis, Quèbec City, Canada native started game one of the Friday doubleheader and hit a pair of home runs and finished with four RBI. Giguère started the Sunday finale where he singled and scored a run and later threw out a runner attempting to steal second.
Giguère has appeared in six games with three starts and is hitting .333 with three home runs, one double, five runs scored and six RBI.
This is WSU's first player of the week award of the season and the first since lefthanded starter Nick Lewis was named the conference pitcher and freshman of the week May 5.
