Luis Torrens and David Peterson, both of whom were previously named finalists<\/a> for the 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards, will be spending the offseason without any extra hardware. The winners were announced live on ESPN this Sunday night, with a pair of Giants in Patrick Bailey and Logan Webb earning the National League awards for catcher and pitcher, respectively.<\/p>\n

Torrens outpaced Bailey \u2014 and all other N.L. catchers, for that matter \u2014 with a 43% caught stealing rate. Bailey, however, was the more well-rounded defender. The Giants backstop\u2019s 25 framing runs were by far the most in the majors, and his solid 5 blocks above average sparkled compared to Torrens\u2019 -1. Despite Torrens\u2019 ability to gun runners down, Bailey still managed to record the better pop time to second base by a margin of just .01 seconds. Webb, meanwhile, recorded 7 Defensive Runs Saved (the most among N.L. pitchers), while Peterson recorded 6.<\/p>\n

The SABR Defensive Index<\/a> (SDI), which accounts for 25% of the Award\u2019s selection process, rated Webb as the best fielding pitcher in baseball, and rated Bailey as the best overall fielder. Statcast concurred, with Bailey\u2019s MLB-best Fielding Run Value of 31 more than doubling Mets villain Jacob Young\u2019s, which ranked ninth. According to his SDI grade of 9.4, Torrens was the best defender in the National League not to win a Gold Glove at their position.<\/p>\n

The Mets have now gone eleven seasons without a Gold Glove Award winner, as the last to do it in orange and blue was Juan Lagares in 2014. It\u2019s the second-longest drought in the majors behind the Washington Nationals, who haven\u2019t had a winner since Adam LaRoche in 2012.<\/p>\n

MLB\u2019s awards season is just beginning, with the announcement of this year\u2019s N.L. Silver Slugger winners set for Thursday night at 6 PM ET on The Baseball Insiders stream on YouTube. Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, and Juan Soto were all named finalists<\/a>. The winners of the most prestigious awards (Rookie of the Year, Cy Young, and MVP) will be announced the following week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luis Torrens and David Peterson, both of whom were previously named finalists for the 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[143915,1188,10010,103959,7842,3961,72632,23560,363,11999,94225,9888,143914,99,2331],"class_list":["post-268184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-adam-laroche","tag-david-peterson","tag-francisco-lindor","tag-juan-lagares","tag-juan-soto","tag-logan-webb","tag-luis-torrens","tag-mets","tag-mlb","tag-national-league","tag-patrick-bailey","tag-pete-alonso","tag-rawlings-gold-glove","tag-sports","tag-washington-nationals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
