OCC Baseball Player Earns Rawlings Gold Glove Award

Ocean County College Baseball standout David Kalash was recognized by Rawlings as a Gold Glove Award Recipient for his excellent play in the outfield this season.  The Rawlings Gold Glove Award® is the benchmark of excellence and performance on the diamond in Major League Baseball.  In 2007 through a partnership with the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), Rawlings presented the first-ever Rawlings Gold Glove Awards to players at the NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA collegiate levels.  This is the fourth consecutive year that college players performing with excellence on the field have been awarded this prestigious honor.  

In 26 games, David did not commit any errors and had a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage.  He chalked up 72 putouts, 3 assists, and one double play.  Beyond his exceptional play on the field, David batted 0.361 for the Vikings with an on base percentage of 0.461 as the leadoff hitter.  David is the 2nd player in Ocean County College history to earn this award.  Kyle Lamar was the first in 2008.

Congratulations to David for his excellent play this season and for winning a Rawlings Gold Glove!
