White Sox: Giolito, Sanchez among Gold Glove finalists
On Thursday, it was announced that Lucas Giolito and Yolmer Sanchez of the Chicago White Sox both were finalists to receive Gold Glove awards at their respective positions, as detailed by MLB.com
Lucas Giolito had a breakout year in 2019 in which he went 14-9 with a 3.41 ERA, 3.43 FIP, and 1.06 WHIP. He also registered 11.6 K/9 as compared to 2.9 BB/9.
His defense went under the radar, though, which was impressive in its own right. He had three defensive runs saved and four pickoffs according to FanGraphs. The second number actually was not even close to his career-high set in 2018 when he picked off 14 baserunners.
