For the first time, the Texas Rangers have been awarded the Rawlings Gold Glove Team Award.
The Gold Glove Award has been awarded to the best defensive player at each position since 1957. In 2020, the award was expanded to recognize the best team defense.
The Rangers won the 2025 award for the American League and the Cubs won for the National League. The Cubs also won the award in 2020.
To earn the honor, the team set a single-season MLB record .9911 fielding percentage, surpassing the 2013 Orioles’ .9910 figure.
The Rangers also lead the league with 89 defensive runs saved, the most by any Rangers team since the stat was first tracked in 2002. The club had an AL-high three players accrue 16 defensive runs saved this season, including shortstop Corey Seager, outfielder Adolis García, and outfielder Wyatt Langford.
Marcus Semien, who won a Gold Glove this year at second base, had a career-high .996 fielding percentage.
According to the Rangers, the 51 errors committed in 2025 were the fewest in club history during a full season and were 11 fewer than Kansas City in 2025, the next-closest AL team. The Rangers’ 19-game errorless streak from Aug. 13 through Sept. 2 established a club record and tied the longest run in MLB history, as San Diego also posted a 19-game errorless stretch from July 29 to Aug. 18, 2021.
Texas logged 123 errorless games, the most in a single season in MLB history, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
The Rangers are the fifth AL club to claim the Gold Glove Team Award since Rawlings debuted the award in 2020, joining Cleveland (2020), Houston (2021), New York-AL (2022), and Toronto (2023-24).
