Ask anyone how Texas got to the World Series, and you’re going to hear about the lineup full of guys who mash. And that’s not wrong! But here’s a little secret. While the offense and pitching get all the credit and blame, the Rangers have been playing some extremely good defense in 2023, both in the regular and postseason.
Nathaniel Lowe -8 2 10 Anthony Rizzo -2 5 7 Paul Goldschmidt -4 2 6 Pete Alonso -5 0 5 Joey Votto -7 -2 5 While it’s unclear how much of this can be attributed to that rule change, Lowe improved more than any other first baseman in the sport. Using DRS, his three runs saved was good for 12th among 177 . Like Seager, he has gone from a defensive liability to a Gold Glove finalist.
