Tovar became the youngest shortstop in the history of the National League to win a Gold Glove, according to the publication on the X social network account of the Colorado Rockies
In addition to being his first Gold Glove, he is the first Venezuelan to win the distinction in that position, since 2015, when he did Alcides Escobar.
