Dubón ranked third among AL players in Outs Above Average with 19, behind only Kansas City Royals star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (25) and Boston centerfielder Ceddanne Rafaela (22).
Dubón spent parts of four seasons with the Astros, appearing in 485 games, while batting .256 with 24 home runs, 142 RBI, and a .659 OPS. He was also a World Series Champion and a two-time Gold Glove Award winner in his time with the Astros.
