GOLDEN SPIKES AWARDS

Since 1978, USA Baseball has honored the top amateur baseball player in the country with the Golden Spikes Award (GSA). This prestigious award is presented by Major League Baseball and given annually to the player who best exhibits exceptional on-field ability and exemplary sportsmanship.   

From 2013-2019, the Rod Dedeaux Foundation partnered with USA Baseball to host its Annual Awards Dinner at Jonathan Club Los Angeles. RDF hosted all GSA finalists and their families to be able to present the winner with the 1st place trophy during the dinner program alongside RDF’s Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. In an effort to honor our past relationship with USA Baseball, we will continue recognizing the Golden Spikes Award winners and their accomplishments each year.
