Career

Jarvis attended Brentwood Academy in Brentwood, Tennessee.[3] As a junior in 2016, he pitched to a 5–0 record with a 2.33 ERA alongside batting .346, earning all-state honors.[4] In 2017, as a senior, he once again was awarded all-state honors alongside being named the 2017 Tennessee Baseball Player of the Year.[5][6] He went undrafted in the 2017 Major League Baseball draft and thus enrolled at Duke University where he played college baseball for the Duke Blue Devils.

As a freshman at Duke in 2018, Jarvis appeared in 25 games (five starts) in which he went 5–1 with a 2.45 ERA, striking out 67 batters over ​47 2⁄3 innings.[7] That summer, he played in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Cotuit Kettleers.[8] In 2019, his sophomore season, he went 5–2 with a 3.81 ERA over 19 games (11 starts) with 94 strikeouts over ​75 2⁄3 innings.[9] He was named the Most Valuable Player of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Morgantown Regional.[10] He was selected by the New York Yankees in the 37th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft, but did not sign.[11][12] As a junior in 2020, Jarvis threw the first perfect game in Duke history on February 21 against Cornell, striking out 15 batters in an 8–0 win.[13][14][15][16] He compiled a 3–1 record with a 0.67 ERA over four starts, striking out forty over 27 innings, before the college baseball season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[17]

Jarvis was selected 18th overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2020 Major League Baseball draft.[18] He signed with the Diamondbacks on June 25 for a bonus of $2.65 million.[19]
