The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association News (NCBWA) has spoken, and their 2024 Stopper of the Year is Texas A&M left-hander Evan Aschenbeck. He saw a major improvement across the board while some of that can be attributed to the hiring of Max Weiner, Aschenbeck still had to put in the work. Below is an excerpt from the official NCBWA website.
Aschenbeck has been instrumental in Texas A&Mβs postseason run. In the College Station Regional, he allowed no runs and no hits in 4 2/3 innings, leading the Aggies to a 4-2 victory in 11 innings over Texas. He followed that performance in the College Station Super Regional with two saves, holding Oregon scoreless and hitless in 1 2/3 innings on June 8 and allowing just one run on two hits over three innings the following evening to secure Texas A&Mβs eighth berth to the College World Series. Aschenbeck was also named a first-team All-SEC selection by the leagueβs head coaches.
