In 1998, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. In 1998, Jarrin received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is a member of both the California Broadcasters’ Association Halls of Fame and the Southern California Sports  Broadcasters’ Association, which awarded him the organization’s Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019.
