Freshman outfielder Dylan Dubovik has been named ACC Player of the Week after a dominant performance in Miami's four-game sweep of Lafayette. Dubovik batted .818 with three home runs, two doubles, nine RBIs, and two stolen bases.

Why it matters

Dubovik, a native of Coral Springs, Florida, totaled 20 bases and posted a 1.818 slugging percentage over the four-game series. He consistently delivered in key moments as Miami produced 73 runs. Through six games this season, Dubovik is batting .846 with three doubles, three home runs, and 11 RBIs.

What’s next

Before the Canes take on the Gators, they will see FAU in a midweek matchup that can highlight some of the arms the Canes have in their bullpen. This is the perfect test to see who does and doesn't have it before that matchup.

The takeaway

Dubovik's breakout performance is a promising sign for the Miami Hurricanes, who face stiff competition in the ACC but have shown they have young talent that can step up and lead the team. The Hurricanes will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for upcoming matchups against FAU and the Gators.
