No player for the Detroit Tigers has won a Gold Glove award for stellar defensive performance since second baseman Ian Kinsler did so in 2016, but that could change this year.
In his first full MLB season, Dillon Dingler was named a finalist for the Gold Glove at catcher alongside Alejandro Kirk of the Toronto Blue Jays and Carlos Narváez of the Boston Red Sox. Defensively, Dingler ranked among the top 15% of qualified catchers in Statcast Blocks Above Average (+10, 95th percentile), Caught Stealing Above Average (+4, 85th percentile) and framing (+7, 91st percentile).
