DALLAS, Texas - University of Evansville relief pitchers Drew Dominik and Jakob Meyer have been named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Award watch list, given to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I Baseball, the association announced Thursday. Nominees were submitted by institution and conference publicity directors.
This year's impressive group includes 66 of the nation's best relievers and features five nominees from the Missouri Valley Conference, including Dominik and Meyer, Indiana State's Connor Fenlong, Missouri State's Trey Ziegenbein, and Southern Illinois' Trey McDaniel.
Dominik is coming off a dominant campaign in 2021 that saw him lead the team in ERA, amassing a 1.52 earned run average over 29.2 innings in 20 appearances. Meyer was right in step with Dominik, finishing the 2021 season with a 3.68 ERA, capturing five wins and six saves.
Evansville returns to action on Wednesday at No. 5 Vanderbilt in a midweek matchup in Nashville with first pitch at 4:30 PM.
