LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns junior Julian Brock was one of 65 players nationally watchlisted for the 2023 Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year Award released by the Wichita Sports Commission earlier this week.
Brock, a Fulshear, Texas native, emerged as one of the top catchers in the Sun Belt Conference last season after hitting .303 with seven homers and 35 RBI. He hit .306 during the regular season and .324 in the Sun Belt Conference game while throwing 24 of a potential 60 runners (.400) in stolen bases in the season.
Brock posted a .996 field rating in SBC action and served as a consistent backing for the Ragin’ Cajuns, who started 47 straight games behind plate.
In 2023, Brock hits .316 with a home run, nine RBI and six doubles as the top team. Brock has started all 12 games off plate for the Ragin’ Cajuns and is going into their three-game streak against High Point.
As the award is presented annually to the major league collegiate catcher, the list will be updated to include additional nominees through May 8, 2023.
The watch list will be narrowed down to the semi-finalists to be announced on May 22, 2023. Ballots will be sent to the national voting committee at the end of May to vote on the three finalists. The finalists will be announced on June 6, 2023. A final national committee vote will take place during the College World Series. All finalists will be transported to Wichita and the winner will be announced on June 29, 2023.
