Catton and O’Brien Earn Valley Scholar-Athlete Honors

Sophomore Taylor Catton and junior Connor O'Brien of the Bradley baseball team were honored for their work on and off the baseball diamond on Tuesday, each earning selection to the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Team.

Catton led Bradley out of the bullpen in 2022 – collecting three wins and four saves to go with a 5.02 earned run average in 66.1 innings of work. Off the mound, Catton owns a 3.90 grade point average, while majoring in middle school education mathematics.

O'Brien added MVC Scholar-Athlete honors to his All-Valley accolades that he earned at first base.
