The list of the Golden Spikes award finalists has a strong SEC baseball flavor to it. In fact, all three finalists reside in the Southeastern Conference. LSU teammates Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes are joined by Florida’s two-way star Jac Caglianone as the three finalists, as announced by USA Baseball on Wednesday afternoon.
The award goes to the top college baseball player in the nation (essentially, college baseball’s Heisman Trophy). All three players have played a key role in leading their respective teams to top five national seeds this season, and berths in this upcoming weekend’s Super Regionals.
