Schuelke Named To The NCBWA Preseason Stopper of the Year List

DALLAS - Mississippi State pitcher Cam Schuelke has been named to the Preseason National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Stopper of the Year Watch List. The award is given to the top reliever in college baseball.

In his sophomore season at College of Central Florida, Schuelke recorded a 9-1 record with eight saves in 32 appearances, while posting a 2.09 ERA. He allowed only 34 hits through 60 1/3 innings pitched. Schuelke sealed his spot as the Patriots closer and averaged a career-low 0.83 WHIP. Schuelke held opponents to a .161 batting average and collected 86 strikeouts for the season.

The 2024 season begins Friday at 4 p.m. with the Diamond Dawgs hosting Air Force in a three-game series at Dudy Noble Field in Starkville. The entirety of opening weekend will be dedicated to honoring our nation's brave service members in a special Military Appreciation Weekend at The Dude. All three games will feature pregame military flyovers. Moody Air Force Base will perform Friday's flyover, while Columbus Air Force Base will perform Saturday and Sunday. Each game will also have military members standing with MSU and Air Force during the national anthem, along with military members announcing starting lineups.

Friday will feature an opening weekend/military appreciation rally towel giveaway while supplies last. Saturday will feature a pregame jump performance from the Wings of Blue Jump Team from the United States Air Force Academy. Along with seeing the Wings of Blue Jump Team, replica military hats will be given away while supplies last. The series concludes on Sunday, and fans will have the chance to get a military coin while supplies last. For more information on opening weekend promotions, click here.
