Thousands of student-athletes will show off their play in the field and play every game with defensive intensity that elevates their teams. Among those will be some of the slickest fielders at the collegiate level — those who will earn consideration for the Collegiate Rawlings Gold Glove Award.

Nomination and voting criteria will mirror that of the ABCA Rawlings All-American Awards. Coaches can nominate players by contacting their ABCA conference, region, or district chairmen. Award winners will be announced at the NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA championship series.

Another 63 awards will grace college and university trophy cases as Rawlings presents to each winning player's school a Rawlings Gold Glove Award.
