Romy Gonzalez's stop and throw captures Play of Week honors

October 6th, 2022

Rookie infielder 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.
