GREENVILLE, N.C. -- University of Houston Baseball junior reliever Carter Henry was named to the 15th Annual National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Stopper of the Year Award Watch List, the association announced Monday.
The native of Port Neches, Texas, was named among 75 players on the NCBWA's initial list for the 2019 season. The award is given annually to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I Baseball. For the full release, click HERE.
Henry was one of two representatives from the American Athletic Conference, joining Jacob Wallace of UConn.
As a sophomore, Henry helped the Cougars capture the 2018 American Athletic Conference regular-season title, the program's fifth title in the last five seasons.
In 2018, Houston finished 38-25 overall, its sixth season with at least 36 wins, and 16-8 in league play to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Chapel Hill Regional, the program's 22nd all-time NCAA Regional appearance.
