The National Collegiate Writer Association (NCBWA) has unveiled its finalists for the prestigious Stopper of the Year award. Standing out among the 59 relief pitchers is Texas A&M’s senior left-hander, Evan Aschenbeck. His exceptional performance has earned him a spot among the final 10 pitchers, a recognition he secured even before the season began.
In 26 appearances this season, the lefty has registered a 6-1 record to go along with a 1.64 ERA and 0.83 WHIP, both of which lead the nation. The senior has also logged an SEC-best seven saves. In 60.1 innings of work, Aschenbeck has racked up 65 strikeouts and is holding opponents to a .190 batting average. Of the senior’s 26 appearances, 22 have been for multiple innings and 18 have been scoreless.
Congrats to @Ev_Asch_53 on being named a finalist for the @NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award!
