Record-tying 14 players take home first Gold Glove Awards

One year after 13 players won their first Gold Gloves, 14 players took home the hardware for the first time Sunday night when Major League Baseball announced the winners for outstanding defensive play.

Royals All-Star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and Braves left-hander Chris Sale headlined the 14 first-time winners, which ties the record set in 2022. San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman earned his fifth Gold Glove, the most among this year’s group of 20 winners.

The Cleveland Guardians (Andres Gimenez, Steven Kwan), Kansas City Royals (Witt, Seth Lugo), Seattle Mariners (Cal Raleigh, Dylan Moore), Colorado Rockies (Ezequiel Tovar, Brenton Doyle), Milwaukee Brewers (Brice Turang, Sal Frelick) and San Francisco Giants (Patrick Bailey, Chapman) each had two players earn Gold Gloves.

Also receiving Gold Gloves in the AL were Carlos Santana of the Minnesota Twins, Daulton Varsho of the Toronto Blue Jays and Wilyer Abreu of the Boston Red Sox.

Additional NL winners were Christian Walker of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ian Happ of the Chicago Cubs and Jared Triolo of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
