Texas Tech sophomore Tanner Gardner was named Friday a semifinalist for the Gregg Olson Award that is presented annually to college baseball’s breakout player of the year.
Gardner is one of 43 players nationally up for the award that is named in honor of former Auburn standout Gregg Olson.
The award honors college baseball’s success stories and showcases players who have raised the level of their game through hard work, strength of mind and determination.
This is the third time in the past four years where a Red Raider has been named at least a semifinalist for the Gregg Olson Award.
