CHICAGO -- Catcher Stephen Vogt has been selected as the A's nominee for the 2015 Roberto Clemente Award, which recognizes a player who best represents the game of baseball through impactful contributions on and off the field.
"No shock," A's manager Bob Melvin said Monday. "He is definitely the guy for us. Another feather in his cap in a year where he's got a lot of feathers."
Vogt, who earned his first All-Star nod this year, will be honored prior to a game at the Coliseum during the club's next homestand, which begins Sept. 21.
