The Colombian baseball player, who will complete his eighth day in the MLB. The Twins traded third baseman Gio Urshela to the Angels on Friday for minor league right-hander Alejandro Hidalgo.

Gio Urshela, the Colombian with the best performance in the 2022 regular season of the Major Leagues
The third baseman for the Minnesota Twins in 2022, Giovanni Urshela, was the Colombian who during the 2022 regular season had the best individual performance in Major League Baseball in the United States. This, despite the fact that his ninth was left out of the ‘playoffs’, in the Central Division of the American League.
Although his compatriot Harold Ramírez hit a slightly higher batting average (.303 to Urshela’s .285) and will play the postseason with the Tampa Bay Rays, there is no doubt that Urshela’s contributions on offense and defense to his ninth allowed them to hopes of advancing for a good part of the regular season.
In 142 games played (his personal record since he arrived in the Major Leagues in 2015) Urshela had 34 hits (this season he reached 100 hits in the Major Leagues), 27 doubles, 3 triples, 59 runs scored and 13 home runs. He also drove in 62 runs and maintains a .759 average in the number of times he reached first base.
These numbers consolidate him as the Colombian with the highest performance in the MLB. As if that were not enough, he also contributes in the defensive phases of the games.
At 30 years of age, of whom he has spent seven in the Major Leagues, Urshela is at the peak of his abilities as a baseball player, as his numbers this season demonstrate, confirming his numbers this year with the Twins. , ninth where he arrived in 2022 after three years playing with the New York Yankees.
