Garrett Stubbs has always packed a big game into his 5-foot-10, 165-pound frame.
There's more to come before Stubbs leaves Southern California, where he's been a four-year starter, mostly at catcher. The Trojans are back in the regionals for the first time in 10 seasons, Stubbs is a semifinalist for the Johnny Bench Award and he'll most certainly be taken in the amateur draft.
Stubbs has a ball autographed by Bench, courtesy of a teammate. His step-grandfather and former USC player Fred Shuey once played a minor league season with Bench.
''To win that award would be great on a personal level, but nothing like winning a national championship,'' Stubbs said.
