Aloy on Bobby Bragan National Collegiate Slugger Award Watch List

FORT WORTH, Texas – Arkansas infielder Wehiwa Aloy has earned a spot on the watch list for the Bobby Bragan National Collegiate Slugger Award, which is based on performance at the plate, academics, and personal integrity.

Aloy is one of 46 players included on this year’s award watch list. The winner of the Bobby Bragan National Collegiate Slugger Award will be announced in June and honored at a gala in the fall at the Fort Worth Club.

Aloy, previously named to this year’s preseason watch list for the Golden Spikes Award, started all 60 games at shortstop for the Hogs in 2024, his first season at Arkansas after transferring from Sacramento State. The Wailuku, Hawai’i, native slashed .270/.355/.485 with a team-high 14 homers and 56 RBI, finishing his sophomore campaign as the team leader in runs scored (45), multi-RBI games (11), stolen bases (7) and consecutive games reached base safely (31).

Off the field, Aloy maintained a 3.600 GPA and earned First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition as a sophomore.

The junior is having a strong start to his 2025 campaign, slashing .308/.526/.538 with one homer and four RBI through the first four games. Aloy has reached base safely in all four games and has one multi-hit effort as well as two multi-RBI performances in the early going, helping the Razorbacks get off to a 4-0 start with an Opening Weekend series sweep.
