center fielder Kiermaier has won three Gold Gloves for his work in center field in 2015, 2016 and 2019.
However, he wasn't named to the list of finalists in 2020, with the Minnesota Twins' Byron Buxton, the Oakland Athletics' Ramon Laureano and Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox taking those honors.
Kiermaier expressed his surprise and disappointment that he was not included.
"I was very surprised," Kiermaier said, per ESPN's Jesse Rogers. "And once that emotion left me, I was disappointed. I was upset. I feel like what I did out there, defensively, was underappreciated this year.
