Sports Info Solutions announced<\/a> the 2026 Fielding Bible Award winners on Thursday. This is the 21st year of the awards, which are given out to the top fielder at each position. A panel of experts votes on their selections based on statistics, the eye test and whichever other factors they believe are important.<\/p>\n

Here is this year\u2019s class:<\/p>\n

Catcher: Dillon Dingler<\/a>, Tigers
\nFirst base: Matt Olson<\/a>, Braves
\nSecond base: Brice Turang<\/a>, Brewers
\nShortstop: Taylor Walls<\/a>, Rays
\nThird base: Alex Bregman<\/a>, Cubs
\nLeft field: Cody Bellinger<\/a>, Yankees
\nCenter field: Ceddanne Rafaela<\/a>, Red Sox
\nRight field: Wilyer Abreu<\/a>, Red Sox
\nPitcher: Tanner Bibee<\/a>, Guardians
\nMulti-position: Zach McKinstry<\/a>, Tigers
\nPlayer of the Year: Pete Crow-Armstrong<\/a>, Cubs
\nTeam of the Year: Cubs<\/p>\n

The only repeat winners from last year<\/a> are Olson, Rafaela and the Cubs. Olson has now earned six of these awards, putting him right behind Mookie Betts<\/a> (seven) for most all-time. The Cubs accrued 115 Defensive Runs Saved, 28 more than the second-place Rays (87). Crow-Armstrong, the runaway favorite to win the National League MVP, accounted for 16 DRS in center field. Bregman finished with 15 during the first season of his five-year, $175MM contract with the Cubs.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, all of the above players are Rawlings Gold Glove Award finalists at their respective positions. The Gold Glove winners will be announced Nov. 1.<\/p>\n
