Ke’Bryan Hayes gives Reds a Gold Glove reason to smile, not to stop worrying

The Cincinnati Reds have their first Gold Glove Award-winner since Tucker Barnhart took home the trophy in 2020. Ke'Bryan Hayes, who came over in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates ahead of the July 31 deadline, secured his second career Rawling Gold Glove Award on Sunday night.

Hayes was shoo-in for the award after leading all National League third basemen in defensive runs saved (19) and outs above average (22). Hayes is an elite defender, but his bat is somewhere between sub-par and nightmarish.

Hayes hit just .235/.290/.306 in 2025.
