Senior shortstop Jim Jarvis, a native of San Diego CA, was awarded the ABCA-Rawling Gold Glove for outstanding defensive play on Wednesday.
Jarvis is just the third player in Alabama baseball history to win a Gold Glove, joining all times hit leader Taylor Dugas, and star Kyle Overstreet. Dugas won for his play in centerfield during the 2011 season and Overstreet won as a slick-fielding second baseman in 2013.
Jarvis was named a finalist for the award on Tuesday, along with Kentucky’s Grant Smith and Nik McClaughry from Arizona.
Jarvis has started for all four years of his Alabama career.
