(May 16, 2024)[/B] [B]– [/B]West Virginia University junior shortstop JJ Wetherholt has been named a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy, as announced by the NCBWA on Thursday. He is one of 68 student-athletes to be named a semifinalist and one of just four Big 12 representatives. Wetherholt currently leads the Mountaineers with a .384 batting average and has tallied six home runs and 26 RBI in just 26 games played. He also has 25 walks against just 10 strikeouts, one of the best ratios in the country. It is the second straight season that the Mars, Pennsylvania native has been named a Howser semifinalist. In 2023, Wetherholt was named one of the five finalists after leading the nation with a .449 batting average while hitting 16 home runs and stealing 36 bases. Wetherholt is the first two-time semifinalist in WVU history with Alek Manoah being the only other semifinalist in 2019. The Dick Howser Trophy, presented by The Game Headwear, is given in memory of the former Florida State University All-America shortstop and major league player and manager who died of brain cancer in 1987. The trophy is regarded as baseball's most prestigious award. Criteria for consideration of the trophy include performance on the field, leadership, moral character and courage – all qualities that were exemplified by Dick Howser's life.
