LSU All-American ace pitcher Paul Skenes was awarded the 2023 Dick Howser Trophy on, given annually to the most outstanding player in NCAA Division I baseball, on Thursday.
The Dick Howser Trophy honors a player who has been the most outstanding but also one who displays tenets of leadership, moral character and courage. Skenes joins former LSU All-American first baseman Eddy Furniss – the 1998 winner of the Dick Howser Trophy – as the second Tiger to capture the award.
“Paul Skenes certainly is deserving of the 2023 Dick Howser Trophy,” Howser Trophy chairman David Feaster said.
