Miami's Jake Ogden Named to the 2025 Brooks Wallace Award Watch List

Miami Hurricanes junior shortstop Jake Ogden was named to the 2025 Brooks Wallace Award Watch List, the College Baseball Foundation announced Friday.

The award is presented annually to the nation’s top shortstop and is named in honor of former Texas Tech standout Brooks Wallace, who played for the Red Raiders from 1977 to 1980. Wallace died of leukemia at age 27.

Ogden transferred from UNC Greensboro. He has started all 38 games for the Hurricanes this season and leads the team in five major offensive categories. He paces Miami in batting average (.333), at-bats (147), runs (33), hits (49) and stolen bases (10-for-10).

In many ways, he has been one of the best players, if not the best player, on the team, and head coach J.D. Arteaga loves what he brings to the table. Now he has been listed with some of the best shortstops in the country.
