LOS ANGELES - UCLA junior first baseman Mulivai Levu has been named an ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove winner for the second consecutive season, solidifying his place as one of the premier defensive infielders in college baseball.
Levu becomes the first Bruin ever to win multiple Gold Gloves.
The Gold Glove Awards are presented annually by Rawlings and selected by the ABCA. These prestigious awards are chosen by the ABCA All-America Committee for each Division.
Levu followed up last year's breakout defensive campaign with another dominant season at first base, committing just two errors all year while posting a .996 fielding percentage. He converted 446 putouts, added 21 assists, and played a key role in 42 double plays, anchoring a UCLA infield that once again ranked among the nation's best.
This marks Levu's second straight Gold Glove after a near-flawless 2025 season in which he committed just one error in 569 chances, finishing with an elite .998 fielding percentage, 517 putouts, and 51 assists.
Levu is now one of only a handful of Bruins to earn the prestigious honor since its inception in 2007, joining Roch Cholowsky (2025), Griffin Canning (2017), Beau Amaral (2012), and Pat Valaika (2013).
