Ozzie Albies, Josh Donaldson named 2019 Gold Glove finalists

The World Series is still ongoing so it’s not quite awards season, but Rawlings is taking advantage of the slow news day in baseball-dom today to announce Gold Glove finalists. As it turns out, the Braves have two such humans still in the running to receive this particular fielding award: second baseman Ozzie Albies and third baseman Josh Donaldson.

Albies finished second in DRS (+8) and fifth in UZR (+2.2) among NL second basemen this season. Averaging the two puts him squarely second behind Kolten Wong, who would be primed to win the hardware if Gold Glove awards made sense (they don’t).
