Nolan Arenado won a Gold Glove in each of his first 10 major league seasons, but the streak will end this year.

The St. Louis Cardinals third baseman wasn't among the three National League finalists for the award when the short lists were announced on Wednesday.

Either the Atlanta Braves' Austin Riley, the Colorado Rockies' Ryan McMahon and the Pittsburgh Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes will end Arenado's reign.

Advanced defensive metrics showed that Arenado had his worst defensive performance this year. He won eight Gold Gloves with the Rockies, starting with his rookie season in 2013, then continued his streak in 2021 and 2022 with the Cardinals.
