Rutschman wins MiLB gold glove

[Frobby]

“Rutschman’s inclusion should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the backstop’s career since the Orioles took him No. 1 overall in 2019. The former Oregon State catcher is considered the game’s top prospect in part because of his defensive work behind the plate, specifically his gamecalling and agility to block pitches. Baltimore pitchers have noted how much they enjoy throwing to Rutschman’s 6-foot-2 target, and it helps his case that he also possesses a plus arm that helped him throw out 27.8 percent of attempted base stealers at Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk this season.”

A quick peek at the list indicates that the list was skewed toward "actual prospects".  Shame it would have been amusing if a kid that hit .190 in short season ball won one.

You have to hit at least so well to win a Gold Glove. Look at Derek Jeter!
