t's that time of the year again to reach out to our regional coaches associations to scout for this year's Johnny Bench Awards. This event will take place on July 30th and will continue to be hosted at the Cincinnati Reds' Great American Ballpark.

 

Each coaches association can help our process by sharing our catcher submission form among their coaches, as well as providing insight on the All-Star, All-State and other awards ahead of selections. While these commendations are important to our selection process, the Johnny Bench Awards focuses on both offensive and defensive statistics to recognize well-rounded, dedicated catchers on both sides of the plate.

 

 

We will begin contacting coaches as early as June 1st to collect complete season statistics. These statistics should be for the regular season only, but post-season team success will be considered among candidates. Winners will be announced in late June.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. We appreciate your cooperation.
