Eardensohn named to 2019 NCBWA Stopper of the Year Preseason Watch List

Coastal Carolina baseball senior pitcher Matt Eardensohn was one of 75 players named to the 2019 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Stopper of the Year preseason watch list, given to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I Baseball, the association announced Monday.

Eardensohn was one of just two relief pitchers from the Sun Belt Conference named to the preseason watch list along with Zach Greene of South Alabama.

A senior right-handed hurler from Omaha, Neb., Eardensohn was named a third-team preseason All-American by Collegiate Baseball and earned a spot on the 2019 preseason All-Sun Belt team this preseason after receiving a spot on the All-Sun Belt second team last year.

Tabbed the Sun Belt Pitcher of the Week on April 17 last year, Eardensohn appeared in 20 games on the mound for CCU, making one start. He posted a 7-0 record with six saves and a 2.18 ERA, all of which were team bests on the year.
