DALLAS -- The Mid-American Conference was represented by a trio of relievers on the NCBWA's 2025 Stopper of the Year Midseason Watch List, as announced by the organization on Wednesday afternoon. Peyton Cariaco (Kent State), Garrett Harker (Ball State) and Connar Penrod (Bowling Green) were all named to the 56-person list.
Cariaco has pitched to the tune of a 4.26 ERA across his 19 relief appearances. Cariaco is averaging just over a strikeout per inning en route to nine saves.
This season, Penrod has become one of the best closers in the nation as well as BGSU's program history.
