Atlanta Braves center fielder Ender Inciarte has been an offensive juggernaut this season.
On Monday, Inciarte was honored for his defensive achievement last season as he was presented with the Rawlings Gold Glove trophy before the team's 7-5 loss to the Mets at SunTrust Park.
Inciarte beat out the Reds' Billy Hamilton and the Phillies' Odubel Herrera for the center field award, the first Gold Glove for the Braves since their former shortstop Andrelton Simmons and right fielder Jason Heyward won them in 2014.
Inciarte’s lengthy 2016 highlight reel of defensive gems included the now-famous “Game Ender” – a leaping catch to rob the Mets’ Yoenis Cespedes of a home run for the final out Sept. 21 win before a stunned crowd at New York’s Citi Field.
Inciarte is batting .240 with 5 homers and 12 RBI in 24 games this season.
