June 22, 2022 | Baseball
Usher is the third Gold Glove winner in program history.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville centerfielder Levi Usher was named a winner of the ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove award on Wednesday.
Usher was one of three outfielders selected to the nine-man team recognizing the top defensive players in the country. He is the third Louisville player to take home the defensive honor, joining Will Smith in 2016 and Devin Hairston in 2017.
The second Louisville player to win the ACC's Defensive Player of the Year award, Usher proved to be one of college baseball's best centerfielders this spring, creating a full highlight reel of elite defensive plays culminating in earning SportsCenter's No. 1 play for his home run robbery against Clemson on April 30.
The senior also hit .285 with 15 doubles, three triples and seven home runs while driving in 49 and scoring 53 times. Usher also led the ACC in stolen bases for the second consecutive season, swiping 36 bags for the sixth-highest single-season total in program history.
Usher helped the Cardinals to a 42-21-1 overall record this spring with the program's fifth ACC Atlantic Division title in seven full seasons and ninth Super Regional appearance.
