HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Camden Clark, a sophomore right-hander at the University of Southern Mississippi, has been named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association’s midseason watch list for the Stopper of the Year Award, the organization announced Wednesday.

Over his last 10 outings, Clark has not issued a walk across 18 1/3 innings and has recorded either a win or save in his first six appearances of the year.

The list features 61 relief pitchers from 21 conferences, with the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference each represented by eight players.
