This season, Jarvis was spectacular as the team's Friday night ace. Jarvis was tabbed as the ACC Pitcher of the Week twice this season, highlighted by his perfect game against Cornell on Feb. 21. He notched a career-high 15 strikeouts in the matchup on just 94 pitches of work. The outing marked the 31st perfect game in NCAA Division I history.
The junior righty ranked among the nation's best in several statistical categories, including third in WHIP with a mark of 0.48 and eighth in strikeout-to-walk ratio with a mark of 20.00. Additionally, Jarvis led the ACC in walks allowed per nine innings (0.67), while ranking third in ERA (0.67) and fifth in hits allowed per nine innings (3.67).
Jarvis had notched three consecutive quality starts prior to the season's abrupt ending. The right-hander allowed just one hit and one walk across his 7.0 innings of work, while racking up 12 strikeouts to pick up his third win of the season against 11th-ranked Florida State. Jarvis carried a perfect game through 6.2 frames before allowing his first baserunner of the day, who reached on a strikeout wild pitch. The baserunner ended a span of 16.2 perfect innings at home for Jarvis.
The right-hander only allowed one run, seven hits and one walk across his last three starts, totaling 23.0 innings of work with a 0.39 ERA.
Entering the spring, Jarvis was tabbed the No. 49 junior on
