Reliever of the Year Award Goes to Jones Tuesday, June 20th , 2051 Craig Jones was a calming influence out of the Connecticut Huskies bullpen this season. His teammates and manager said he had a poised demeanor about him that was typical of someone much older and more experienced. His poise has paid off, as the 20-year-old turned in a sparkling season and has been named the winner of the College Baseball Reliever of the Year Award for 2051. The Brewster, Massachusetts native won the award with 9 saves in 21 relief appearances, 65 strikeouts in 34.1 innings and a record of 4-2 to go with his 1.31 ERA. He received 73 first place votes out of a possible 74. Hubert Woodward of the Nebraska Cornhuskers finished second in voting with 1 first place vote, while Leon Lewis of the Michigan State Spartans finished third.
