West Virginia junior shortstop JJ Wetherholt has been selected as a Dick Howser Trophy Semifinalist
On Thursday, the NCBWA announced West Virginia junior JJ Wetherholt as a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy.
Wetherholt leads the Mountaineers with a .384 batting average and has clubbed six home runs and 26 RBIs in just 26 games played. JJ Wetherholt has returned to form after suffering a hamstring injury early in the season that sidelined him for 24 games. The Mars, PA native is currently riding an eight-game hitting streak with five multi-hit games and had a .500 batting average with three home runs, three doubles and 10 RBIs during that stretch.
The Dick Howser Trophy, presented by The Game Headwear, is given in memory of the former Florida State University All-America shortstop and major league player and manager who died of brain cancer in 1987. The trophy is regarded as baseball's most prestigious award. Criteria for consideration of the trophy include performance on the field, leadership, moral character and courage – all qualities that were exemplified by Dick Howser's life.
The ‘24 award will be presented at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, the home of the College World Series, for the 12th year. The winner also will be unveiled on MLB Network on Thursday, June 13, during the 9 a.m. highlight show hour. A Friday, June 14, news conference with the winner will be held at 10 a.m.
