Ralph Turner took College Baseball by storm this year, and he did it all at the age of 19.
For his spectacular campaign, the Purdue Boilermakers star has been named the 2055 College Baseball Dick Howser Award recipient.
"To be considered amongst the best in the league is overwhelming," said the right fielder.
On the season he compiled a .403 batting average to go with a .504 on-base percentage. The native of Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan also added 13 doubles, no triples, 25 home runs, 90 RBIs and 55 runs scored.
He received 46 first place votes out of a possible 74. Ken Tate of the Baylor Bears finished second in voting with 3 first place votes, while Ray Muldrow of the Texas A&M Aggies finished third with 9 first place votes.
