DURHAM, N.C. – Indiana State junior starting pitcher Sean Manaea was one of 60 collegiate baseball players from around the nation to earn selection to USA Baseball's Midseason Golden Spikes Award Watch List today (May 2).

Manaea was also tabbed on the list during the preseason, making him one of just 31 baseball players to appear on both lists. Manaea is joined by Missouri State's Nick Petree in representing the Missouri Valley Conference.

The Wanatah, Ind., native has posted a 5-3 record and a 1.57 ERA this season, fanning 72 batters in 57.1 innings on the mound while allowing just 39 hits, 20 walks and 10 earned runs in nine starts. The ISU junior has struck out at least eight batters in seven of his nine outings, including a season-high of 10 Ks in six shutout innings against College of Charleston on Feb. 22. Manaea enters the weekend with 269 career strikeouts, 30 behind record holder Casey Whitten.


The watch list will continue to be a “rolling” list until May 28 -- when the 30 semifinalists for the award are announced -- ensuring that athletes can play themselves into consideration for the award. The Golden Spikes Award trophy will be awarded live on MLB Network for the third year in a row, with a live presentation scheduled during The Rundown on Friday, July 19. Through USA Baseball's partnership with MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM), the presentation will also be simulcast with a live stream available from GoldenSpikesAward.com and USABaseball.com.

USA Baseball officials will announce the 30 semifinalists for the 2013 Golden Spikes Award on Tuesday, May 28. The list of 30 will then be sent to a voting body consisting of past USA Baseball National Team coaches and press officers, members of media that closely follow the amateur game, select professional baseball personnel, and current USA Baseball staff, representing a group of more than 200 voters in total.

Other past winners of the Golden Spikes Award include Terry Francona (1980), Will Clark (1985), Robin Ventura (1988), Jason Varitek (1994), J.D. Drew (1997), Mark Prior (2001), Jered Weaver (2004), Tim Lincecum (2006) and David Price (2007).
