FAYETTEVILLE Kevin Kopps was as dominant during college baseball’s award season as he was for the Arkansas Razorbacks during the spring.
Kopps won the Golden Spikes Award on Thursday to sweep the major awards presented to college baseball’s national player of the year. Kopps also won the Dick Howser Trophy in June and is the 20th player to win both awards in the same season.
