Jarvis Drafted 18th Overall by Arizona Diamondbacks

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke junior right-hander Bryce Jarvis was drafted with the No. 18 overall pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first round of the 2020 Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft on Wednesday evening. Jarvis becomes highest pick in Blue Devil history in the first year player draft, and joins former Duke standout Marcus Stroman as the second player in program history to be taken in the first round.
With Jarvis' selection, Duke has had a player taken in the top five rounds in six of the last seven drafts, as he becomes the 15th player in school history to be taken in the top five rounds. Additionally, Jarvis is the 27th player to be drafted under head coach Chris Pollard.
Jarvis made the decision to return to Durham for his junior season after being taken by the New York Yankees in the 37th round of the 2019 MLB Draft, asserting himself as one of the best arms in the country. The Duke right-hander was tabbed as a Preseason All-American by both D1Baseball and National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association entering the spring, while also being named to the USA Golden Spikes Award Watch List.
This season, Jarvis was spectacular as the team's Friday night ace. The Franklin, Tenn., native 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.
Following the season's abrupt ending, Jarvis was tabbed as a Collegiate Baseball First Team All-American, earning All-America honors for the first time in his career. He became the 13th Blue Devil in program history to earn All-America nods, and the first Duke player since 1994 to be tabbed a First Team All-American—Ryan Jackson (Collegiate Baseball – OF/P).
