WICHITA, Kan. – The Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission released the official watch list for the 2020 Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year, with senior
Brett Bonar as one of the sixty names included.
The honor is presented by the Kamerion Wimbley Foundation, where sixty catchers are nominated by their coaches.
"Brett has been a program changer for us," said head coach
Evan Porter. "His leadership and work ethic have been an integral part of the successful player he's become. He's a plus defender and handles our staff with an advanced professionalism. He hits for power and average and works all parts of the field."
Bonar has started all 14 games this season and helped the Mavericks to a 10-4 record, which is the best start in Division I era program history. The senior also has eight hits with 10 RBI, six doubles and six runs scored at the plate.
