Mauricio Dubón, utility player for the Houston Astros, received his historic award of a Gold Glove in Major League Baseball (MLB) last Friday night, in the hands of former player and communicator Eduardo Pérez.
The 29-year-old Honduran, Mauricio Dubón, received his first individual award in his five years of service in Major League Baseball, on this occasion, an award such as the Gold Glove that recognizes the player’s defense.
However, although this Gold Glove marked a before and after for Mauricio Dubón, one of the most important data of this award was that it made the Central American the first Honduran player to win a Gold Glove.
In the history of the MLB, only two players born in Honduras have reached the Big League. Gerald Young was the first Honduran, debuting in 1987, but he never won a Gold Glove.
Dubón earned this award for his work as a utility player with the Houston Astros in this 2023 season. The Honduran played a total of 7 positions (1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF and RF).
