Outfielder Eli White of the Texas Rangers earned his first career Electric Play of the Week Award presented by Chevrolet on Monday, and he's Texas’ second winner of the 2022 campaign following his All-Star teammate Adolis García, who accomplished the feat for the period ending April 24.
In the top of the first inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at Globe Life Field on Memorial Day, White ranged to left-center field and perfectly timed his jump to rob Ji-Man Choi of a would-be three-run home run.
Additional Play of the Week candidates included George Springer’s catch at the warning track and throw to second base to complete a double play; Carlos Santana’s diving snag at first base; Zach Plesac’s diving stop and pitch to nab the runner at first; Ian Happ’s diving catch in right-center field; and Tyrone Taylor’s leaping catch against Wrigley’s right-field wall.
