3 Rangers, including ALCS hero Adolis García, among Gold Glove winners; Nolan Arenado’s 10-year winning streak is coming to an end
The Texas Rangers just picked up a win in the World Series and continue to receive a lot of praise.
MLB announced the 2023 Gold Glove winners on Sunday, and the Rangers came out on top with three players named the best defenders at their position. Right fielder and ALCS MVP Adolis García, catcher Jonah Heim and first baseman Nathaniel Lowe each won Gold Gloves.
The Rangers stars were among 13 first-time winners, the second most in the award’s history. Last year there were 14 first-time winners.
The Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago Cubs joined the Rangers with three winners, while the San Diego Padres, Cleveland Guardians and Arizona Diamondbacks each produced two winners. New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe and Colorado Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle won as rookies. Volpe is the first rookie in Yankees history to win a Gold Glove.
