Denlinger Named to Stopper-of-the-Year Watch List

GREENVILLE, NC – Bradley redshirt junior RHP Theron Denlinger (Cuba City, WI/Cuba City HS) has been listed among 70 relievers on the Watch List for the 16th annual National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper-of-the-Year Award given to the nation's top NCAA Division I relief pitcher, according to an announcement from the NCBWA this week.

Denlinger was one of the three Missouri Valley Conference pitchers to appear on the preseason Watch List, joining DBU's Burl Carraway and Illinois State's Jacob Gilmore.

A hard-throwing righthander, Denlinger joined the Braves for the 2019 season after transferring from Madison College.
