Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena has lots of hardware already in his trophy case, but now he has an accolade for 2021 to go with it all.
Arozarena’s diving catch robbing Hunter Renfroe of an extra-base hit was named by Major League Baseball as the play of the week for the week of April 4-11.
Arozarena’s catch beat out plays from Cedric Mullins, Josh Fuentes, Anthony Santander, and Jackie Bradley Jr.
Steve Carney is the founder and publisher of St. Pete Nine.
