Cody Bellinger added to his trophy case on Sunday night, winning the second Gold Glove Award of his career.<\/p>\n
The Yankees\u2019 left fielder beat out fellow American League finalists Wyatt Langford, of the Rangers, and Chandler Simpson, of the Rays. Bellinger also won a Gold Glove in 2019 when he primarily played right field for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n
With 21 Defensive Runs Saved, Bellinger led all left fielders by a wide margin in 2026. Milwaukee\u2019s Jackson Chourio, who won the NL Gold Glove for left fielders, finished second with 13.<\/p>\n
Bellinger and Chourio led the position with a Fielding Run Value of eight. Bellinger also finished second with six Outs Above Average and third with eight assists. He only made three errors.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s just a tremendous athlete,\u201d Aaron Boone said in August. \u201cI think he\u2019s just really good on his feet, really good off-balance, really good when he gets his hands on it. A really good and smart and accurate thrower. It\u2019s just a look at a really good athlete that\u2019s gotten really good at playing the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n
Able to play all three outfield positions and first base, Bellinger has always been considered a strong defender. However, he took his game to another level in 2026.<\/p>\n
