Tony Wolters’ play this season continues to turn heads.
The Rockies’ catcher was named the team recipient of the 2019 Heart and Hustle Award on Tuesday morning, which honors players “who demonstrate a passion for the game of baseball and best embody the values, spirit and traditions of the game.”
Wolters leads all full-time National League catchers with a .289 average this year, and has also recorded 25 RBIs while playing Gold Glove-caliber defense behind the dish.
“He’s a positive influence on and off the field.” Rockies hitting coach Dave Magadan said in a release.
