Fresh off a World Series victory, accolades continue to pour in for the Texas Rangers.
MLB announced the 2023 Gold Glove winners Sunday, and the Rangers led the way with three players named as 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 history of the award. Last year saw 14 first-time winners.
The Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago Cubs joined the Rangers with three honorees, while the San Diego Padres, Cleveland Guardians and Arizona Diamondbacks claimed two winners each.
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.
