This is the fourth straight year where there
have been at least 10 first-time winners, extending a record.
There were 14 new winners last season, the first year a utility
player could earn a Gold Glove.
Rookies Anthony Volpe, shortstop of the New York Yankees, and
Brenton Doyle, center fielder for the Colorado Rockies, took
home the award, marking the third time multiple first-year
players won Gold Gloves, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman and center fielder Kevin
Kiermaier each earned their fourth Gold Glove, most among this
year's recipients. Toronto right-hander Jose Berrios earned his
first Gold Glove.
Five players won their second Gold Glove: Cleveland Guardians
second baseman Andres Gimenez and left fielder Steven Kwan,
Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker and Chicago
Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson and left fielder Ian Happ.
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado failed to win
the award for the first time in his career, ending a 10-year
run. Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes unseated
the Cardinals All-Star to earn his first Gold Glove.
The World Series champion Texas Rangers had three winners --
catcher Jonah Heim, first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and right
fielder Adolis Garcia. Houston Astros utility man Mauricio Dubon
earned his first Gold Glove to round out the American League.
In the National League, the Cubs (Swanson, Happ and second
baseman Nico Hoerner), San Diego Padres (right fielder Fernanado
Tatis Jr. and utility player Ha-Seong Kim) and Diamondbacks
(Walker and catcher Gabriel Moreno) had multiple winners.
Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler earned his first Gold Glove
to round out the NL.
