The award is presented each year to the active player who both excels on the field and best embodies the values, spirits and traditions of baseball.
Semien joined the Texas Rangers prior to the 2022 season, with the Rangers aggressively pursuing him not just because of his on-field performance but because of his leadership and clubhouse presence. Semien is someone who both current and former teammates sing the praises of, and is highly regarded throughout the game.
