A total of six Venezuelan players are on the select list of finalist players who will opt for the distinction of the Gold Glove in the Major Leaguesan award that was created by the Rawlings Baseball company.
The Creoles who will seek to win this award are: Ezequiel Tovar (Colorado), Andrés Giménez (Cleveland), Gabriel Moreno (Arizona), Pablo López (Twins), David Peralta (Dodgers) and Jesús Luzardo (Marlins).
Of all of them, the one who really has a great chance of taking home the award is the second baseman of the Cleveland Guardians, as the best player of this position in the American League, a distinction he already won in 2022.
To do this, Giménez will have to beat Mauricio Dubón (Astros) and Marcus Semien (Rangers) for the prize.
In the line of pitchers, López faces José Berrios (Toronto) and Sonny Gray (Twins), for becoming the best pitcher on the young circuit. While Luzardo will seek to establish himself as the best in the National League against Phillies representatives, Zack Wheeler and Taijuan Walker.
Also in the old circuit, Moreno will face Patrick Bailey (Giants) and JT Realmuto (Phillies) for the Gold Glove at catcher.
Tovar, meanwhile, will face off on the ballots with Francisco Lindor (Mets) and Dansby Swanson (Cubs).
Finally, David Peralta will have to compete with the experienced Ian Happ (Cubs) and Eddie Rosario (Bravos) to establish himself as the best left fielder on the old circuit.
It must be remembered that the delivery of the 2023 Golden Gloves will take place during the first week of Novemberwhen the World Series is being played.
