MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University pitcher Derek Clark has been named to the ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division I Gold Glove team, as announced by Rawlings on Wednesday.
Clark becomes the first Mountaineer to be named a gold glove winner and is the first player from a Big 12 school to receive the honor since Shea Langeliers of Baylor in 2018. It is not new for Clark, however, as he was also named to the NCAA Division II Gold Glove team in 2023 while pitching for Northwood University.
It adds to the list of accomplishments this season for Clark, who was also named to the NCBWA All-America third team, All-Big 12 first team, ABCA All-East Region first team, and was named the NCAA Tucson Regional Most Outstanding Player.
The Petersburg, Michigan native finished his lone year in Morgantown with an 8-3 record, a 3.23 ERA, and 91 strikeouts in 97.2 innings pitched. Clark also finished the year with six putouts and 24 assists, including 10 pickoffs in 14 games.
