Omaha, Neb. -- Junior catcher David Vilches was one of 69 catchers in NCAA Division I Baseball named to the Buster Posey Watch List.

Vilches hit .333 in 14 games during the shortened 2020 season, including six extra-base hits (three doubles and two home runs) with eight RBI. His 2019 season was highlighted by going 4-for-13 (.308) in the BIG EAST Tournament, to earn a spot on the BIG EAST All-Tournament Team.

Because the award is given annually to the top division one collegiate catcher, the list will be updated to include other candidates until May 5, 2021.
