University of Georgia junior right-hander Jonathan Cannon has been named the Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league announced.

A 6-6, 213-pound native of Alpharetta, Ga., Cannon pitched eight scoreless innings in an 11-0 win over defending national champion No. 24 Mississippi State this past Friday at Foley Field. He carried a perfect game to the fifth and finished with a three-hitter, no walks and nine strikeouts.

A 2022 preseason All-America and All-SEC selection, Cannon improved to 4-1, 1.83 ERA on the season with 37 strikeouts and just one walk (that was intentional) in an SEC-leading 34.1 innings. He ranks third nationally in Strikeout/Walk ratio, Walks Allowed and eighth in WHIP at .61.

He has earned SEC Pitcher of the Week honors now three times in his career including twice this season. An Academic All-SEC student, Cannon is majoring in real estate.

The 17th-ranked Bulldogs (16-4) return to action Tuesday in Lawrenceville when they face Georgia State (14-6) at Coolray Field, home of the Gwinnett Stripers (Triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves). First pitch will be at 6:05 p.m., and the game only will be available on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
