OMAHA, Neb. — Robert Moore, a Leawood, Kansas, native and Arkansas’ second baseman, was named the Gold Glove Award winner by Rawlings and the American Baseball Coaches Association on Wednesday.
The honor goes to the best defensive player at each position in college baseball.
Moore was one of three finalist at the position including Mario Camilletti of Central Michigan and Matt McDermott of Coastal Carolina.
The junior infielder committed only two errors in 163 outs, a fielding percentage of .992 and turned 46 double plays for Arkansas.
That ranked fourth overall in the national and first in the SEC.
