The Brooks Wallace Award is an award given by the College Baseball Foundation (CBF) to the best college baseball shortstop of the year.[http://www.collegebaseballfoundation.org/NationalAwardsShow Brooks Wallace Award]{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, College Baseball Foundation. Retrieved October 5, 2009. The award has been given annually since 2004. Until 2008 the award was presented to the nation's most outstanding player; however, in 2009 the recipient list was changed to only include shortstops. It is named after former Texas Tech shortstop and assistant coach Brooks Wallace, who died of cancer in 1985 at the age of 27.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-sports/news/story?id=2481912 |title=Lincoln, Roemer, Doolittle finalists for baseball POY - College Sports - ESPN |publisher=ESPN |date=June 13, 2006 |access-date=February 18, 2014}}
