Aiva Arquette Named A Brooks Wallace Award Semifinalist
May 21, 2025 | Baseball
CARY, N.C. – Oregon State junior Aiva Arquette is one of 30 semifinalists for the Brooks Wallace Award, which was announced Wednesday.
The honor is given annually to the nation's top shortstop in honor of Wallace, a former Texas Tech shortstop who passed away at the age of 27.
The Kailua, Hawai'i native ended the regular season with a team-best .348 batting average, 17 home runs and 60 runs batted in. He's also leading the Beavers with a .676 slugging percentage and .473 on-base percentage while playing in all 54 games. He's the lone Beaver to start at shortstop this season and has committed just four errors for a .980 fielding percentage.
Arquette is aiming to become the second Beaver to earn the honor, following Cadyn Grenier in 2018.
Finalists for the honor, as presented by the College Baseball Hall of Fame, will be announced June 4. The winner of the honor will be announced later in June.
