PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Astros rookie shortstop and AL Championship Series MVP Jeremy Peña won his first Gold Glove Award and Houston right fielder Kyle Tucker joined his teammate on the list announced Tuesday before Game 3 of the World Series.
The NL champion Philadelphia Phillies were represented on the list with catcher J.T. Realmuto. Realmuto also won the award in 2019 in his first season with the Phillies.
Peña is the first rookie shortstop to win a Gold Glove, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
“I heard that today and I was in shock because I didn’t know that was a thing,” he said.
