LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville pitcher Kaleb Corbett was named to the midseason watch list for the 16th annual National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Award, announced by the organization on Wednesday.
Corbett is one of 65 relief pitchers on the midseason watch list, which includes seven from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The right-hander had a dominant start to his collegiate career this spring, working 17.1 scoreless innings before allowing his first run.
