Gabriel Moreno began his MLB career with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2022.  That off-season, he was traded to the Diamondbacks, where the young Venezuelan found a home to show off his defensive abilities.

Moreno’s first season with the D-Basks (2023) saw the Catcher lead the National League in Defensive bWAR (3.1), Assists by a Catcher (55), Total Zone Runs by a Catcher (14) and Caught Stealing Percentage (38.6).  Moreno, who batted a respectable .284 in 380 Plate Appearances, won a Gold Glove and helped Arizona win the NL Pennant.  Last season, Moreno was still good defensively but was not as stellar as he was in 2023.

Still young, Moreno has a lot of promise and could be a top 30 all-time Diamondback.
