Globe Life Field in Arlington became the scene of an exceptional defensive achievement: Adolis García, the virtuoso Cuban outfielder of the Texas Rangers, received the coveted MLB Gold Glove.
It was during the night of April 10, before the confrontation with the Oakland Athletics, that the awards ceremony for the previous season was held, where ‘El Bombi’ was the center of attention.
It is worth highlighting that, during the last season, García was not only an offensive phenomenon for the Rangers, but he also proved to be an insurmountable wall in the outfield.
With 39 homers, 107 RBIs and a .245 average, his bat spoke for itself. But it was his ability to patrol right field in 130 games and center field eight times that really impressed.
With a .981 fielding percentage, Garcia committed just six errors, adding 11 assists and a double play to his impressive defensive resume.
These statistics placed him at the top of voters’ preferences, surpassing other renowned competitors and, above all, great skills when catching the ball.

On the other hand, it should be added that Adolis García was essential for the Texas Rangers to achieve, in 2023, the top honors for a season for the first time in their history.
As you may remember, the patrollers entered last year’s World Series as favorites, after leaving the always feared Houston Astros on the road. And boy did they not disappoint, as they won the title after beating the Arizona Rattlesnakes in five games, with ‘El Bombi’ being an important part of the success.
