SINTEK NAMED WALLACE AWARD SEMIFINALIST

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — South Dakota State's Carter Sintek was named Wednesday as one of 30 semifinalists for the Brooks Wallace Award, which is presented annually by the College Baseball Foundation to the top shortstop in college baseball.

A sophomore from Bennington, Nebraska, Sintek ended the regular season with a team-best .352 batting average and 22 multi-hit games. His 74 hits and 45 runs scored also led the Jackrabbits, while adding three home runs, 29 runs batted in and 118 defensive assists en route to second-team all-Summit League recognition.

The award is named in honor of former Texas Tech shortstop Brooks Wallace, who played for the Red Raiders from 1977 to 1980. Wallace died of leukemia at the age of 27. The semifinalists were identified based on their combined offensive and defensive performances from this season. Finalists for the Brooks Wallace Player of the Year Award will be announced on June 4, with the 2025 winner to be announced later in the month. Griff O'Ferrall of the University of Virginia was the 2024 Brooks Wallace Player of the Year.
