The SEC was well represented among the Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners.
Jim Jarvis of Alabama at shortstop, and Enrique Bradfield Jr. of Vanderbilt and Dylan Crews at LSU both as outfielders, were among the award winners.
Bradfield received the award for the second time in his career.
The ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove teams were first recognized in 2007 and are presented annually to the top defensive players from each division of collegiate and high school baseball.
Bradfield had the most putouts among SEC outfielders without committing an error during the regular season. His speed and ability in center field played a role in Vanderbilt ranking third in NCAA DI in hits allowed per 9 innings and 14th in DI in fielding percentage.
Jarvis had 7 errors in 256 chances, and Crews had no errors on 150 chances.
