Rookie infielder Romy Gonzalez of the Chicago White Sox earned his first career Electric Play of the Week Award presented by Chevrolet on Thursday, and it marks the first by a White Sox player since the award was introduced in 2019.
In the top of the seventh inning against the visiting Minnesota Twins, Gonzalez made a diving stop and terrific throw to first to take away a hit from Jermaine Palacios.
Additional Play of the Week candidates included Jace Peterson’s diving grab at third; Willson Contreras’ catch up against the netting; Harrison Bader’s diving grab in deep center field; Tony Kemp’s acrobatic catch; Livan Soto’s impressive play on a hot shot to short; Gio Urshela’s long throw across the diamond; and Jo Adell’s leaping catch at the wall.
