FAYETTEVILLE — One day after Arkansas pitcher Isaiah Campbell was named a semifinalist for one college baseball's top two individual awards, Arkansas shortstop Casey Martin was named a semifinalist for the other.

Martin, a sophomore, is one of 26 semifinalists for the Dick Howser Trophy, which goes to the nation's most outstanding player, as voted on by the National Collegiate Writers Association.

Campbell was named a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award on Wednesday. The Golden Spikes Award is presented by USA Baseball.

Martin and Campbell are Arkansas' first semifinalists for the respective awards since Andrew Benintendi won both in 2015.
