You’re So Golden (Glove Finalists)

Rawlings announced the finalists for the 2023 AL/NL Gold Glove Awards this afternoon and four Phillies have been honored. Zack Wheeler, Taijuan Walker, JT Realmuto and Bryson Stott have all been named as the top defensive players at their respective positions for the season.

Rawlings has published an extended guide on Gold Glove selection criteria (find it here), but in short: Qualified players are judged based on overall fielding excellence, not just basic statistics such as errors, runners caught stealing, and putouts. Ultimately, each team gets 7 votes (one each for the manager and six coaches).
