LUBBOCK, Texas - Sam Gaviglio is one of 25 players from across the nation who have been named the watch list for the Pitcher of the Year Award as announced by the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
The watch list was announced on Friday, and Gaviglio is one of two pitchers from the Pacific-10 Conference on it. He has an 8-1 record and 2.00 earned run average in 81 innings this season to go along with just 19 walks and 76 strikeouts.
Gaviglio won five of his first six starts this season and has picked up victories in three of his last four leading up to tonight.
