Pete Crow-Armstrong wins Minor League Gold Glove Award |
Chicago Cubs minor leaguers Pete Crow-Armstrong won the Minor League 2022 Rawlings Gold Glove Award on Tuesday.
He was one of nine players to receive the prestigious defensive award. PCA recorded 194 putouts and six outfield assists in 91 games in center field for Single-A Myrtle Beach and High-A South Bend. Crow-Armstrong, 20, was originally selected by New York Mets in the first round (19th overall) of the 2020 MLB Draft out of Harvard-Westlake High School in Los Angeles, California. Chicago acquired him in a trade for infielder Javier Báez on July 30, 2021. “We’d like to congratulate the 2022 Minor League recipients of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award® as this group of defensive standouts were deemed ‘The Finest in the Field’,” said Mike Thompson, chief marketing officer for Rawlings. “Rawlings values our long-standing partnership with Minor League Baseball and our shared focus on growing the game of baseball while emphasizing defensive excellence.” “We are pleased to recognize these nine players with a Rawlings Gold Glove Award for their defensive excellence in 2022,” said Peter Woodfork, Major League Baseball’s Senior Vice President, Minor League Operations and Development. “On behalf of Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball and our great partners at Rawlings, I congratulate each of the winners for their outstanding seasons.” Pete Crow-Glovestrong ??
