Johnson County Community College's Boston Bruce and Logan Groh have earned Rawlings Gold Glove Awards for their exceptional performance in defense. This recognition marks them as the ninth and tenth players in school history to achieve such honors. Under coach Eric Horner, Bruce and Groh standout in a season where the Cavaliers recorded a historic overall performance, winning the NJCAA Division I World Series National Championship.

By the Numbers
  • Boston Bruce had a .987 fielding percentage with just three errors in 185 chances; he batted .435 with 18 home runs.
  • Logan Groh posted a .986 fielding percentage with only two errors, batting .446 and hitting 25 home runs.
  • The Cavaliers achieved a perfect 32-0 conference record and concluded the season with a 67-3 overall record.
Yes, But

Despite individual accolades, concerns about overall team depth and future recruitment challenges might arise as the season progresses.

State of Play
  • Cavaliers completed a dominant season, finishing with their first NJCAA Division I World Series National Championship.
  • Bruce and Groh's awards add to JCCC's growing reputation in collegiate baseball, but the program will face pressure to maintain this success.
What's Next

As JCCC looks ahead, the focus will be on sustaining their championship caliber through recruitment and training for the next season to retain top talent.

Bottom Line

Bruce and Groh's achievements elevate JCCC's baseball prestige, but the program must ensure continued development and depth to compete at this elite level in the future.
