Mississippi State’s Dakota Hudson made the cut for the Golden Spikes Award midseason watch list on Wednesday.
The junior right-hander has made nine starts this spring with a 4-3 record and ranks fourth in the SEC with a 2.08 earned run average. Hudson leads the Bulldogs with 67 strikeouts in 60 2/3 innings.
Hudson had a school-record stretch of 34 2/3 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run earlier in the year.
Hudson is one of 14 players from the conference on the midseason watch list. Semifinalists will be selected on June 1 and finalists on June 13.
