Ah, we have a narrative, with Walker facing off against the player he replaced at first for Arizona, in Mr. Goldschmidt. We have been here before, however, with the same match-up happening in 2019. On that occasion though, neither man prevailed, with the award going to the Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo on that occasion. Goldschmidt will have the advantage of being the incumbent, having taken home his fourth award in 2021. However, he has never managed to retain the title on his previous three occasions, losing out to Adrian Gonzalez, Rizzo and Freddie Freeman. This year may be different, coming on the back of an MVP-caliber campaign.
Gold Glove D-backs Finalists: 1B, Christian Walker
