Watch: Texas Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe Presented Rawlings Gold Glove Patch

Nathaniel Lowe is one of three Texas Rangers to win their first Gold Glove in 2023.

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe got a look at one of the spoils for winning a Gold Glove — his gold patch.

Rawlings, the glove company that sponsors the Gold Glove award, posted video of Lowe getting his Rawlings glove for the award. It’s not the Gold Glove trophy. It’s an actual Rawlings glove, which features a gold patch.

That gold patch is the Rawlings logo, stitched in gold, and sewn into the back of the glove and close to the wrist area.

Lowe, who won his first Gold Glove earlier this week, was clearly happy to see the glove for the first time.

Hard work paid off.

The Rangers had three first-time Gold Glove winners — Lowe, catcher Jonah Heim and outfielder Adolis García.

Heim was in New York City earlier this week for an event on Rawlings’ Gold Carpet, an event that included New York Yankees Gold Glove winner Anthony Volpe, along with former Gold Glove winners Keith Hernandez and Ozzie Smith, considered to be two of the best defenders in Major League history.

The trio were part of the a Rangers team that set a franchise record for fewest errors in a season and was tied for the best fielding percentage (.990) in baseball with the Arizona Diamondbacks, whom they faced in the World Series.

Lowe prioritized being a better as a defender in 2023 and it resulted in a career-best .9977 fielding percentage in 161 games, second-best among AL first baseman.

Lowe’s fielding percentage was third-best in franchise history behind Mitch Moreland in 2016 (.9981) and Mark Teixeira in 2005 (.9979).

Heim threw out a career-high 22-of-80 base stealers, and his 27.5 percent rate was the best in the American League and second only to Arizona’s Gabriel Moreno, who won the NL Gold Glove at the position.

Heim also had 10 catcher-framing runs, which was third-best in baseball.

García's team-leading 11 outfield assists tied him for third in the AL behind Boston’s Alex Verdugo and Seattle’s Teoscar Hernández, both with 12. García's had 10 or more outfield assists for the third straight season, the third-longest streak for an outfielder in club history.
