NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt senior catcher Dominic Keegan has been named one of 30 candidates across college baseball for the 2022 Senior CLASS Award.
To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior or graduate student and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
The Methuen, Massachusetts, native is leading the team this season with a .422 average to go with five home runs and 25 RBI. Keegan earned All-America honors from Perfect Game as a junior last season.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
The 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists later in the season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches, and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four C’s of community, classroom, character, and competition.
The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced during the 2022 College World Series in June.
