A remarkable season thus far by Arkansas State junior catcher Liam Hicks is drawing national attention, as Hicks has been added to the watch list for the Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year Award presented by the Kamerion Wimbley Foundation.
Hicks was one of nine catchers recently added to the official watch list, with semifinalists named on May 20 and finalists slated to be announced on June 7. The award was formerly known as the Johnny Bench Award before being renamed after the former Florida State catcher.
