WICHITA, Kan. – The Wichita Sports Commission announced the Watch List for the 2024 Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year Award on Thursday afternoon and Duke senior Alex Stone was among the 63 student-athletes from NCAA Division I universities throughout the country.
"Since 2000, the Wichita Sports Commission has acknowledged the hard work and talent of the most demanding position in baseball," said Kevin Jenks, President / CEO of the Wichita Sports Commission. "The Buster Posey Award has become one of college baseball's most coveted and prestigious awards. It's always special to have all three finalists, their families and coaches attend the event."
