In the 2017 season, Yasiel Puig absolutely should have won a Gold Glove, but was denied… probably because lots of people did not like him. He vowed to use his snub as a springboard and win the Gold Glove in 2018, but for whatever reasons, he regressed immensely, so much so that he was not even in the discussion. This is not an indictment on Yasiel (I dissed him enough when he was with the Dodgers, so I won’t continue), but rather an indictment of how Gold Gloves are awarded and how subjective defensive metrics are.
This is an area of the game where you especially need to use the “eye test.
