The Wallace Award, sponsored by Mizuno, recognizes the nation's top shortstop and will be presented on June 30 in Lubbock, Texas, as part of the College Baseball Hall of Fame's Night of Champions.

Stamets, a native of Dublin, Ohio, has started 157 consecutive games, including all 45 this season, batting .312 with 31 runs, 18 RBI, and a team-high 15 doubles. The junior also leads the conference and ranks 20th in Division I with 25 steals (25-31). With incredible range in the field, Stamets owns a .962 fielding percentage with 76 putouts and league-high 153 assists.
