Landry Named
to 2006 Wallace Watch List
Senior Josh Landry
was named to the 2006 Wallace Watch list for the National
Player of the Year.
LUBBOCK, Texas-Senior outfielder Josh Landry was one of 120 baseball student-athletes on the 2006 Wallace Watch released Monday, Nov. 21 by the College Baseball Foundation in Lubbock, Texas. The Brooks Wallace Award is presented annually to the national college baseball player of the year.
One of the top returnees for the Ragin' Cajuns baseball team, Landry boasted a .305 batting average for the 2005 season. He recorded 83 hits on the season including, 11 doubles, three triples, and seven homeruns. He scored 62 runs while recording 62 RBI.
The native of Jeanerette, La., drew 32 base-on-balls and had an on base percentage of .389 as a junior.
Landry was a perfect 8-for-8 in stolen base attempts.
Defensively, Landry recorded 113 putouts with seven assists while committing just two errors all season.
The Wallace Watch will be trimmed to 12 semi-finalists by late May. Then the selection committee will narrow the list to three finalists following the NCAA Super Regionals at a press conference in Omaha. The finalists, their head coaches, and their parents will be invited to Lubbock, Texas, for a schedule of special events tied to the award banquet, which will again be nationally televised by Fox Sports Network.
Dedicated to the memory of former Texas Tech shortstop and assistant coach, Wallace was a slick-fielding shortstop at Texas Tech from 1977 to 1980. A 4-year starter, he was named All-Southwest Conference and All-District Six his senior year when he led the Red Raiders to their first-ever appearance in the Southwest Conference Tournament. After playing two years in the Texas Rangers organization, he returned to Texas Tech and served as a graduate assistant and later as an assistant coach. In the summer of 1984 he was diagnosed with cancer and fought the disease courageously until his death on March 24, 1985, at age 27. The Plano, Texas, native was married to the former Sandy Arnold and they had one daughter, Lindsay Ryan.
