CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs<\/a> had a major league-high three Gold Glove winners this year, with Pete Crow-Armstrong<\/a>, Ian Happ<\/a> and Nico Hoerner<\/a> all taking home baseball’s most famous fielding honor.<\/p>\n

It was the first Gold Glove for Crow-Armstrong, part of a breakout season for the All-Star center fielder. Happ won for the fourth consecutive year in left field, and it was the second Gold Glove for Hoerner at second base.<\/p>\n

Kansas City, Boston and San Francisco each had two winners. Eight players earned the award for the first time, St. Louis-based Rawlings announced on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bobby Witt Jr<\/a>. and Maikel Garcia<\/a> of the Royals became the first shortstop-third baseman teammates to win in the same season since J.J. Hardy and Manny Machado<\/a> for the Orioles in 2013. It was Witt’s second straight Gold Glove at shortstop.<\/p>\n

Patrick Bailey<\/a> and Logan Webb<\/a> of the Giants are the first battery from the same team to win a Gold Glove in the same season since Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright<\/a> for the Cardinals in 2013. It was Bailey’s second straight win at catcher.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox winners were right fielder Wilyer Abreu<\/a> and center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela<\/a>. The 26-year-old Abreu also won last year, and the 25-year-old Rafaela earned the award for the first time.<\/p>\n

New York Yankees<\/a> pitcher Max Fried<\/a> and Cleveland left fielder Steven Kwan<\/a> joined Happ as four-time winners. Atlanta first baseman Matt Olson<\/a> earned his third Gold Glove.<\/p>\n

Detroit catcher Dillon Dingler<\/a>, Texas second baseman Marcus Semien<\/a>, Houston utilityman Mauricio Dub\u00f3n and first baseman Ty France<\/a> rounded out the AL winners. France was traded from Minnesota to Toronto on July 31.<\/p>\n

San Diego right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr<\/a>., St. Louis shortstop Masyn Winn<\/a>, third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes and Miami utilityman Javier Sanoja<\/a> also won in the NL. It’s the second Gold Glove for Tatis and Hayes, who was traded from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati on July 30<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Semien earned a $100,000 bonus for winning the honor. Kwan and Witt each got $50,000, and Hayes earned a $25,000 bonus.<\/p>\n

Voting was conducted among managers and up to six coaches from each team, who can’t select players on their own club. Since 2013, voting has been factored with a Society for American Baseball Research defensive index, which comprises about 25% of the total.<\/p>\n

The utility category is based on a SABR formula and additional defensive statistics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs had a major league-high three Gold Glove winners this year, with Pete Crow-Armstrong,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":257987,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-257986","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
