GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Oregon State redshirt junior Max Engelbrekt has been named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association's Stopper of the Year midseason watch list, it was announced Thursday.
Given to the top relief pitcher in the country, the award, now in its 12th year, has 40 players on the watch list. Engelbrekt is one of four pitchers from the Pac-12 Conference on it.
