FSU sports information:

Florida State softball's Jaysoni Beachum was named the ACC Player of the Week on Tuesday morning thanks to her performance in five games against Alabama State and Boston College last week. Beachum is the first Seminole to win the award this season and is the first true freshman from Florida State to be named ACC Player of the Week since Sydney Sherrill on April 10, 2018.

Beachum has had one of the best freshmen seasons in school history and this past week was no different. Beachum hit four home runs in five games and tallied eight RBI to bring her season total to 50. Beachum hit .467 on the week with seven hits and was also walked four times to end the week with a .550 on base percentage. Beachum also posted a 1.333 slugging percentage.

Beachum is not only one of the best freshmen hitters in the country but one of the best overall hitters in the country. Beachum's .447 batting average ranks 12th in the country. Beachum also ranks in the top 25 nationally in hits, RBI and slugging percentage.

Beachum is on pace to break the FSU freshman record for batting average, hits, RBI, slugging percentage and on base percentage. She needs just nine RBI to break Sherrill's freshman record of 58 RBI which would also put her seventh all-time on FSU's top 10 list for most single season RBI.

The Seminoles will be back in action Wednesday night when they take on No. 10 Florida in Gainesville. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. and can be seen live on SEC Network+.
