LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville sophomore Alex Alicea was named to the watch list for the Brooks Wallace Award, released Friday by the College Baseball Foundation.
The award honors the nation's top shortstop and will be presented by the College Baseball Foundation later this year.

The sophomore switch-hitter has scored 37 runs, tied for third-most on the team, and is fourth in the ACC with 17 stolen bases.
