COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - Sky Sox shortstop and top Milwaukee Brewers prospect Orlando Arcia will receive his 2015 Rawlings Gold Glove Award® in a pre-game ceremony prior to the team's 1:35pm game against the Salt Lake Bees at Security Service Field on Sunday, May 15.

Baseball's recipients of the 2015 Rawlings Gold Glove Award® for defensive excellence at their positions were announced last September. The honorees were selected among qualifying players from the 10 domestic-based, full-season Minor Leagues.

"Congratulations to the nine outstanding Minor League Baseball players who deservedly won the 2015 Rawlings Gold Glove Award," said Mike Thompson, executive vice president and general manager of baseball for St. Louis-based Rawlings. "Minor League Baseball is and will always continue to be a great partner of Rawlings, and we knew the Rawlings Gold Glove Award would be a popular goal for many young players when we decided to rekindle this award platform in 2011."

"Each year, it is a privilege to recognize the top defensive players in Minor League Baseball and honor them with a Rawlings Gold Glove Award®," said Pat O'Conner, President & CEO of Minor League Baseball. "All nine of these players displayed extraordinary skills at their positions this season, and on behalf of Minor League Baseball, I congratulate them on this outstanding accomplishment."

Arcia, who played in 123 games for the Double-A Biloxi Shuckers in 2015, recorded a .978 fielding percentage and committed just 13 errors in 585 total chances while turning 82 double plays.
