Luis Robert

Rookie centerfielder Luis Robert is officially the winner of the 2020 American League Center Field Gold Glove Award.

Often overshadowed by his end-of-season offensive slump, Robert played a reliable center field throughout the entirety of the 2020 campaign. He posted stellar figures of just one error, eight Defensive Runs Saved Above Average (Baseball-Reference), and a 3.4 defensive rating from FanGraphs.

He also made tough plays, like the one below, look incredibly easy on a regular basis.

Robert beat out Byron Buxton of the Twins and Ramon Laureano of the Athletics to win the award.
