Stopper of the Year

Now that's a great title for an award. Unfortunately that's the shortened version. The official title is the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Award. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but it is a great honor nonetheless. The award is presented every year to the top relief pitcher in Division I baseball. The NCBWA has announced their watchlist for the 2008 Stopper of the Year. Included on the watchlist is Blue Hen senior closer David Slovak. Last year Slovak recorded 12 saves in 35 appearances with a 4.15 ERA.
