Scottsdale, Ariz. — Style has always been part of Carlos Gonzalez’s game.
Now the Rockies’ right fielder is taking it to another level. He shagged flyballs Friday with a white glove adorned with a gray Nike swoosh.

“Yeah, I might use the glove in some games, we’ll see,” CarGo said, noting that the inside of the glove is black so as to meet MLB requirements.
CarGo’s black cleats sported white-and-purple laces, a purple Nike shoosh and a strap across the laces with “CARGO” embossed in gold.
For the record, Gonzalez looks terrific has he returns from knee surgery that ended his 2014 season. He joined Troy Tulowitzki and Corey Dickerson for a batting practice session Friday morning and was the clear star of the show. He several moonshots over the fence. The baseball simply sounds different when CarGo hits it.
