With the second half of the 2025 collegiate regular season now underway, the NCBWA announced Wednesday that 56 of the nation’s top relief pitchers have been named to the Midseason Watch List for the 20th annual Stopper of the Year award. Relief pitchers not included on the midseason list remain eligible to be considered as finalists for the award.
Applebey has appeared 14 times in relief this season, has collected eight saves, and holds a 2-1 record through the first half of the season.
