Who won the Golden Spikes Award? Amateur baseball MVP announced

The 2025 Golden Spikes Award winner was announced prior to Game 1 of the College World Series national championship on Saturday, June 21.

The Heisman Trophy of amateur baseball was awarded to Arkansas shortstop Wehiwa Aloy, who led the Razorbacks to the CWS semifinals, where they fell to LSU. The winner was announced at Charles Schwab Field Omaha, with all three finalists appearing in person.

Aloy won the award over Florida State shortstop Alex Lodise and Tennessee pitcher Liam Doyle, both of which led their teams to the super regional round of the NCAA Tournament. He’s the third player from Arkansas to win the Golden Spikes Award, joining Kevin Kopps (2021) and Andrew Benintendi (2015).

Aloy slashed .350/.434/.673 on the season with 21 home runs and 68 RBIs in his second season at Arkansas after transferring from Sacramento State. The projected first-round pick of the 2025 MLB Draft was also the SEC Player of the Year in 2025 and made five errors in 229 total chances.

“In a season that featured outstanding individual efforts from a wide range of players, Wehiwa Aloy stood above the rest,” said Paul Seiler, the executive director of USA Baseball. “Wehiwa’s 2025 season was nothing short of incredible to watch and he is greatly deserving of this honor. We are excited for Wehiwa to join our incredible family of Golden Spikes Award winners and look forward to celebrating his special season.”

Aloy succeeds Georgia’s Charlie Condon, who won the award in 2024 and was selected with the third overall pick of the 2024 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies. Past winners of the award include Bryce Harper, Buster Posey, David Price and Stephen Strasburg.

Here’s what to know of the Golden Spikes Award:

What is the Golden Spikes Award?

While the award is typically given to Division I college baseball players, there are some examples of the award going to a player from a different level. For example, future No. 1 overall pick Bryce Harper won the award in 2010 despite attending College of Southern Nevada, a junior college program.

The award is voted on by USA Baseball, with 5% of votes being determined by fans.
