Maryland baseball’s Matt Shaw was named the Brooks Wallace Award winner on Wednesday, given to the nation’s top shortstop.
Shaw became the first Maryland and Big Ten player to ever win the award.
He beat out Fairfield graduate student Noah Lucier, Army senior Kevin Dubrule, Florida junior Josh Rivera and Virginia sophomore Griff O’Ferrall.
Former winners of the award include MLB stars Trea Turner, Dansby Swanson and Alex Bregman.
Shaw played a pivotal role for the Terps this past season, slashing .336/.445/.697 while totaling a 1.142 OPS. He hit 24 home runs en route to a Big Ten Player of the Year selection and was also named a first-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball.
“Clearly, Matt is a shortstop who separated himself from the field of others in the NCAA and within the Big Ten,” said Tom Quigley, co-chair of the Wallace Award, in a release. “He beams with confidence. I’m hoping his future will be a bright one.”
Shaw is widely expected to be a first-round selection in the 2023 MLB Draft.
