Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart has won his second Gold Glove Award. In 2020, Barnhart got the final nod over finalists Willson Contreras of the Chicago Cubs and Jacob Stallings of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Tucker Barnhart won his first Gold Glove back in 2017. After missing out on it the last two seasons, Barnhart is back on top. This year the Gold Glove Awards were awarded to players based on their SDI (SABR Defensive Index) alone. In past years SDI was a part of, but not the only part of the award criteria. In a shortened season, it was decided that it alone would determine the winner.
