Jun 10, 2016 | Baseball
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M third baseman Boomer White was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association District VII Player of the Year, one of 11 players recognized by the NCBWA on Friday.
White, who was the SEC Player of the Year and is a finalist for the Howser Trophy, led Texas A&M into this weekend's NCAA Super Regional round by hitting .398 with a .533 slugging percentage and a .476 OBP. The Houston, Texas native has 98 hits on the season – including an SEC record 57 during conference play – and needs 10 more to break Texas A&M's single-season record. White, who also was an All-SEC first-teamer and a member of the NCAA College Station Regional All-Tournament Team, has 46 RBI, 49 runs, 18 doubles and five homers on the season, while walking 33 times and swiping 10 bases.
He has already picked up All-America recognition from Baseball America (first team) and Collegiate Baseball (third team).
District VII includes all of the schools in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana.
