I was a bit skeptical when he got here at UT but the kid turned out to be quite an outstanding player. Best of luck to him in all his future endeavors.

Man, that is a tough list. Who wins the award? I'd have to guess either Kyle Lewis from Mercer or Boomer White from Texas A&M & also Logan Shore from Florida.

Sleepers could be Corey Ray from Louisville & Nick Senzel from our Vols. I call Nick a sleeper pick because where we finished as a team. If we had done better he would have been one of the favorites.

Shore

I'd say that's a solid choice. He's won 10 straight decisions this season & 15 straight dating back to last season. He has an ERA just over 2.00 over that time period so there could be no griping if he wins the award.
