While the Gold Glove Awards are considered the standard for baseball’s best defensive players by most mainstream fans of the game, those who are more analytically-inclined may be apt to pay greater attention to the annual Fielding Bible Awards. Presented each year by Sports Info Solutions (creators of the Defensive Runs Saved statistic), the awards are given to baseball’s top fielders as voted on by a panel of 12 experts who rank the top-10 defensive players at every position.
For the second year in a row, Lorenzo Cain of our Milwaukee Brewers is the winner of the Fielding Bible Award for center fielders:
