Rhode Island senior Chase Livingston ’16 was named to the 2016 Johnny Bench Award watch list, announced in March by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission. Each year, the prestigious award is given to the nation’s top Division I collegiate catcher.

Livingston was identified by Atlantic 10 coaches as the conference’s best defensive catcher via a poll by College Baseball Insider in 2015. At press time, the list of semifinalists was about to be announced.
