FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Two Nova Southeastern baseball players, catcher Brett Clements and shortstop Brett Clements, were awarded 2013 South Region Gold Gloves as announced on Thursday.
Clements (Sr., Riverview, Fla.) started 42 games behind the plate for the Sharks this season and had a .993 fielding percentage. He committed just two errors in 297 total chances, while throwing out 27 percent of would-be basestealers.
Asuaje (Jr., Weston, Fla.) picked up the nod at shortstop despite being forced to switch to that position midway through the season. For the year, he committed six errors for a fielding percentage of .971, but only two of those miscues came at his new position. His 125 combined assists led the team, and he was part of 17 double plays.
As a second baseman, Asuaje picked up two Gold Glove awards from ABCA/Rawlings following his junior season. He was chosen as the best defensive second baseman in all of Division II, as well as being named to their All-South Region Gold Glove Team.
