Buster Posey Award

The award is administered by the Wichita Sports Commission and presented after the conclusion of the College World Series.

The commission reviewed the statistics of the prior winners and unanimously chose to rename the award after Buster Posey.

[1] Schools nominate their catchers during the season to create the official watch list.

A select committee of 20 individuals narrows the watch list down to the semifinalists.

Two rounds of voting by Division I head coaches determine the three finalists and eventual recipient of the Buster Posey Award.
