Missouri shortstop Eric Maisonet was named to the Brooks Wallace Award Watch List Wednesday.
The award is given to the top shortstop in college baseball.

The Tigers' achievement came after an emphatic start to the year behind the plate for the junior transfer. 12 games into the season, Maisonet is hitting .310 with a home run, nine RBI and nine runs scored.

Maisonet is playing in his first season at the D1 level after spending two years suiting up for Vernon, a junior college in Vernon, Texas.

Following one start in his first three games donning the black and gold, Maisonet started the last nine games and is emerging as one of the major Missouri contributors. Maisonet ranks top six on the Tigers in hits, runs and RBI.

Following the honor, Maisonet is one of the top 100 shortstops across the country in contention for the award.
