WICHITA, Kan. — WKU Baseball catcher Hunter Wood had been named a semifinalist for the 2017 Johnny Bench Award, the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission announced Wednesday evening. The senior is one of 15 semifinalists chosen from 115 watch list members who were added throughout the season.
One of the most important criteria for the award is that the player must be the starting catcher for at least 70 percent of their team’s games, and the Hilltoppers’ backstop certainly checks off that box with flying colors.
