EVANSTON, Ill. – Graduate Student Infielder Vince Bianchina has been voted as the recipient of the Paul Stevens Life Teammate Award for the 2025 season. 

The Paul Stevens Life Teammate Award is presented annually to the Northwestern Baseball senior who best embodies the spirit of a Life Teammate - a leader on the field, in the locker room and in the community, as voted by their teammates. 

As the recipient of the 2025 Paul Stevens Life Teammate Award, Vince Bianchina will wear #13 for the 2025 season, commemorating the life of Will Trautwein, son of former Northwestern Baseball player John Trautwein and brother of former Northwestern Baseball player Michael Trautwein. The Will To Live Foundation is dedicated to preventing teen suicide by improving the lives and the 'Will To Live' of teenagers everywhere through education about mental health and encouraging them to recognize the love and hope that exists in each other.

In four seasons as a Wildcat, Bianchina has made 148 starts in 151 appearances, starting all 52 games at third base in 2024. The Lafayette, California native has posted a .242 career batting average and a .955 career fielding percentage. The Wildcats open their 2025 season on Friday, February 14 at Long Beach State at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN+.
