Top pick wins Howser Trophy

Oregon State catcher and top overall draft pick Adley Rutschman was named winner of the Dick Howser Trophy as college baseball player of the year, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Assn. announced.

UCLA reliever Holden Powell was named the stopper of the year and Michigan’s Erik Bakich was named coach of the year.

Rutschman was selected No. 1 by the Baltimore Orioles after batting .411 with a nation-leading .575 on-base percentage, 17 home runs, 58 RBIs and a .751 slugging percentage. Powell had 17 saves to go with a 4-3 record and 1.84 ERA.

Bakich coached Michigan to its first College World Series appearance since 1984 after the Wolverines knocked off No. 1 seed UCLA in the super regionals.

A Babe Ruth road jersey dating to 1928-30 sold at auction for $5.6 million. Hunt Auctions, which handled the sale, said the price broke a record for the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever sold. A Ruth jersey from 1920 previously sold for $4.4 million. The Yankees jersey was part of a collection of items that Ruth’s family put up for sale. His granddaughter, Linda Ruth Tosetti, said in a statement that a portion of the proceeds will go to charity.
