LUBBOCK, Texas – Mack Chambers of The University of New Mexico baseball team has been named to the 2021 Brooks Wallace Award watch list, the College Baseball Foundation announced Tuesday. The watch list features some of the most recognizable names in college baseball who either have paced perennial powers or led some relative newcomers to new heights. The list consists of a group of 100 of the most talented athletes in Division I college baseball.
“This is a very high honor to be named on this list,” said head coach Ray Birmingham. “I believe Mack has a shot at being a big-leaguer.”
This season, Chambers is atop the Mountain West in many categories, including hits (34, fifth), triples (2, T-third), and has a top-ten batting average of .370, ninth-best in the conference. The transfer from Seminole State College has fielded ten double plays on the season and is currently fourth in the conference in assists, tallying a total of 52 on the season.
