Former Alabama shortstop Jim Jarvis made his big-league debut Wednesday afternoon for the Atlanta Braves in the team’s 3-1 loss over the Seattle Mariners.
The San Diego native received the call-up to the majors on Wednesday morning and started at shortstop after the Braves selected his contract from the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers and added him to the active roster. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in his first two MLB at-bats, but turned a 6-4-3 double play to limit the Mariners to one run in the third inning.
“Jim has worked so hard to be here,” his sister Kate Jarvis said on the BravesVision broadcast. “I can’t think of anybody more deserving.”
The Detroit Tigers selected Jarvis in the 11th round of the 2023 MLB Draft. The Braves acquired the 25-year-old at the trade deadline last August in a deal that sent veteran reliever Rafael Montero to the Motor City.
Jarvis appeared in 279 career minor league games, hitting .252 with 55 doubles, six triples, 12 home runs and 124 RBI across his first four seasons at the minor league level. A torrid start to 2026 — including 39 hits, a career-best .306 batting average and an on-base streak of 24 games — earned him his first MLB nod.
“So happy for this guy,” Crimson Tide Sports Network sportscaster Chris Stewart said of Jarvis in a post to X.
He appeared in 196 games for the Crimson Tide across a four-year collegiate career. He started each of the team’s 64 games in 2023 and hit .273 with an OPS of .797 en route to the team’s first NCAA super regional appearance in 13 years. Jarvis also earned an ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove for his position, becoming the third player in Alabama history to win the top defensive accolade in college baseball.
