Pacific League Names Top Gloves Saturday, September 23rd, 2023 What does it take to win a Gold Glove Award? It's a combination of good hands, knowing how to play the hitters, all-out hustle and a willingness to sacrifice your body to make a play. Good speed and a good arm never hurt, either, but not always required. This year's all-defense team in the Pacific League consists of: Pitcher: Kojuro Kojima (Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles) Catcher: Tetsuzan Araki (Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters) First Baseman: Aftab Mengal (Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks) Second Baseman: Hyun-soo Yi (Saitama Seibu Lions) Third Baseman: Kiemon Kouno (Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks) Shortstop: Sadakuno Sato (Chiba Lotte Marines) Left Fielder: Masato Okamura (Chiba Lotte Marines) Center Fielder: Hoang Kieu (ORIX Buffaloes) Right Fielder: Kosaku Fujita (Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks) |
