Dylan Crews wins 2023 ABCA Gold Glove Award

Dylan Crews played in 71 games this season and finished with a 1.000 fielding percentage.

LSU junior centerfielder [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] has been named one of three outfielders on the 2023 American Baseball Coaches Association Gold Glove team.

Crews receives a lot of pomp and circumstance for his skills with the bat, and deservedly so. He finished the 2023 season with an unreal .426 batting average, 18 homers, and 70 RBI. Lost in the awe of those numbers is the fact that he is one of the best outfielders in the game.

Crews played in 71 games this season and finished with a 1.000 fielding percentage. What does that mean? That means that in his 171 fielding opportunities this season, he made zero errors. That is unbelievable.

If you watched the College World Series, you saw how tough it was to catch a fly ball, left fielders on just about every team made at least one error. His job in center field is not easy and he still never made a mistake. That is why is projected to be one of the top two picks in the 2023 MLB draft next week.

Stay Golden: Robert Moore wins Arkansas’ first-ever Gold Glove Award

The junior is honored as College Baseball’s top 2nd baseman after fielding at a 0.992 clip this season.

One of the best defenders in College Baseball now has an award to back it up.

Arkansas’ [autotag]Robert Moore[/autotag] has been awarded the Rawlings Gold Glove award, being named the best 2nd baseman in College Baseball, Rawlings alongside the American Baseball Coaches Association announced Wednesday.

The junior from Leawood, Kan. becomes the first-ever Razorback to win the award after an incredible season at 2nd base by fielding at a 0.992 clip. In 63 games, Moore has recorded 92 putouts, has assisted in making 163 outs, and has only made two errors.

He, alongside [autotag]Jalen Battles[/autotag], have teamed up to become one of the best middle-infield duos in the country. Battles was unfortunately left off of the finalist list for best shortstops in the country.

In true Robert Moore fashion, he spent time to appreciate everyone who put him in this position to win the award.

Joining Moore as a finalist for the Gold Glove Award from Arkansas was pitcher [autotag]Connor Noland[/autotag]. Noland, however, finished behind Iowa’s Ben Beutel as the nation’s best defender at pitcher. The senior right-hander fielded at 1.000 in 2022, making five putouts and assisting in recording 16 outs.
