Five Longhorns honored with individual awards voted on by their teammates.
AUSTIN, Texas – Following a season that came up just short of advancing to a third-straight College World Series, Texas Baseball head coach David Pierce and his staff have announced the winners of the 2023 postseason team awards.
The six awards—the James and Huston Street Longhorn Award, the Brooks Kieschnick Team MVP, the Keith Moreland Offensive Player of the Year, the Greg Swindell Pitcher of the Year, the Spike Owen Defensive Player of the Year, and the Sean Braswell Academic MVP—are each named after former Longhorns who are honored for their contributions to the program.
The Longhorn Award, named after father and son Longhorn legends, was created to recognize the player who most embodies what it means to be a Longhorn through leadership, selflessness, and integrity both on and off the field.

Dylan Campbell – Brooks Kieschnick Team MVP & Spike Owen Defensive Player of the Year
