BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Utah sophomore catcher C.J. Cron has been selected as one of 25 semifinalists for the 2010 Dick Howser Trophy, given to the top player in collegiate baseball. The award is selected by the membership of the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, in conjunction with the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce and the College Baseball Foundation.
Cron leads the nation in RBI per game (1.59) and is eighth in home runs per game (0.39). He ranks second in the MWC with a .426 batting average. He leads the MWC in slugging percentage (.795), home runs (17) and runs batted in (70). His career accomplishments include being the only player in the country last season to have three hits in a game off 2009 MLB No. 1 draft pick Stephen Strasburg.
Cron is the only player from the Mountain West Conference selected as a semifinalist.
The membership of the NCBWA will choose the Dick Howser Trophy based on two rounds of national voting. Three 2010 finalists will be announced just prior to the first game of the College World Series with a press conference slated for Saturday, June 10, at 10 a.m. (CDT) at Rosenblatt Stadium. The winner will be named in a national broadcast from Lubbock, Texas, on Friday, July 2.
