Guthrie is the sixth player in Stanford history to earn the honor, all in the last nine seasons. "It’s a great honor to win this award with all the great pitching in the Pac-10," said Guthrie. "I feel that I’ve come a long way in the two seasons that I’ve been at Stanford, and it feels great to be named Pac-10 pitcher of the year." Guthrie is also one of five finalists for the 2002 Golden Spikes Award, which is given annually by USA Baseball to the top collegiate player in the country. Guthrie improved to 11-1 with Friday’s 3-2, 13-inning win over Cal State Fullerton (36-21) in the first round of the four-team NCAA regional tournament Stanford (41-16) is hosting. Guthrie went the distance for the win, allowing nine hits and only one earned run with four strikeouts. The Cardinal is the No. 8 seed in the NCAAs and the top seed in its regional that also includes Long Beach State and San Jose State. The winner of the double-elimination, three-day regional will advance to one of eight NCAA super regionals June 7-9. Stanford has advanced to the College World Series in each of the last three seasons. The Cardinal has been the CWS runner-up each of the past two seasons and won national titles in 1987 and 1988. Guthrie led the Pac-10 with a 2.52 ERA and 115 strikeouts in 1211/3 innings. He pitched complete games in four of his final five regular-season outings, won his final four decisions and entered the postseason with consecutive scoreless streak of 19 innings. He posted a 4-1 record with a 1.88 ERA in eight Pac-10 starts, including his first shutout of the campaign with a career-high 13 strikeouts in a six-hitter at UCLA on May 17. Guthrie has posted a 24-5 career record with a 2.68 ERA in less than two full seasons at Stanford, recording 243 strikeouts in 255.1 innings pitched.
