JONESBORO, Ark. (3/6/18) – Arkansas State senior catcher Justin Felix has been named to the Johnny Bench Award presented by BaseballSavings.com Watch List in an announcement by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission Tuesday.
A native of Nogales, Ariz., Felix has been selected to the watch list for the second straight season and is one of 97 catchers to earn a spot on the 2018 version. Although the backstop has yet to play this season due to injury, his strong 2017 campaign was enough to warrant consideration.
Felix’s 2017 saw him hit .257 with team-highs in homers (8) and RBI (46).
