Dale Williams, winner of the 2013 National Collegiate Umpire Award and National College Baseball Hall of Famer, died on Sept. 18 following a long battle with a respiratory illness.

Brian Hamm helped Eastern Connecticut State break through and win the Division III national title. For this effort, he earned the 2022 Skip Bertman Award from the College Baseball Foundation.

Thanks to the growth and success of the College Baseball Foundation’s three staple awards – the National Pitcher of the Year Award, the Brooks Wallace Award recognizing the top shortstop in the game and the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award – the CBF is once again honoring the top players from 2022 with its All-American team.

Positioning for the postseason is starting to take shape, and that is reflected in the Week 11 National College Hall of Fame Power Poll as Tennessee, Oregon State and Arkansas jockey for the top spot.

The College Baseball Foundation released the 2022 Pitcher of the Year watch list, highlighting both the top starting pitchers in the nation and those relievers who have notched several saves and proven to be nails at the end of games.

Despite a 2-2 week, the Tennessee Volunteers were able to hold on to the top spot in the National College Baseball Hall of Fame Power Poll for the fourth straight week as half of the top 10 from the previous week all dropped weekend series.
