Wisconsin Sports Network is proud to showcase the WSN Senior Baseball Awards.

The pre-season watch list has been trimmed down to five finalists. Winners are announced the week of the spring baseball state tournament.

WSN Senior Baseball Awards -- Infielder/Catcher Finalists:

Drew Behling, Waupun -- Behling was one of the top sluggers in the state this year with 5 home runs and 29 RBI, posting an OPS of 1.290. That included a ridiculous .595 on-base percentage and a .695 slugging percentage. He hit .439 on the season as the Warriors have qualified for the Division 2 State Tournament.

Jack Blomgren, Janesville Craig -- Blomgren was a key part of Craig teams that won a state title in 2015, advanced to state in 2016, and advanced to sectionals this year. A Second Team All-State choice last season, Blomgren was a First Team All-Conference pick in the Big Eight once again. He is committed to Michigan.

Zach Clayton, Oconomowoc -- Clayton is one of the best multi-sport athletes in the state, and won the Al Toon Award as the top senior receiver in the fall. He was outstanding once again on the diamond as the Raccoons shared the Little Ten Conference title. Clayton was a Third Team All-State choice last year.

Walker Jenkins, Sun Prairie -- Jenkins was a co-Player of the Year in the Big Eight after helping the team to a second place finish in the standings and trip to the Division 1 State Tournament. The senior infielder hit .482 on the year with 27 runs scored and 11 RBI. 

Zac Stange, Eau Claire North -- Stange is a big part of the success for a North squad that won an outright Big Rivers Conference title and advanced to the Division 1 State Tournament. The 6'0" senior batted .420 on the season with 32 runs scored and 15 RBI. He went a perfect 10 for 10 in stolen base attempts and recorded an OPS of 1.075 in 21 games.
