Carlos Correa was chosen as the winner of the Platinum Glove in the American League for the 2021 season in the MLB.
This is the first time that the Puerto Rican receives this award, which is given to the best defender in the entire league.
Now that he goes to free agency, the Puerto Rican has one more argument to support his aspiration to sign a contract of at least $ 300 million.
Endorsed for several years as a solid shortstop, Carlos Correa was the spearhead of an Astros team that excelled with its defense.
Correa is the third player from Puerto Rico to win the Platinum Glove. It was previously obtained by Francisco Lindor (2016 with the Cleveland Indians) and Yadier Molina (four years with the St. Louis Cardinals).
