When one looks at the Pittsburgh Pirates roster it is easy to say that the team’s best overall defender is center fielder Starling Marte. He has won two Gold Gloves one in 2015 and the other coming in 2016. In general, he is easy to watch in the field. He is fast and tracks down a lot of tough plays. Also, he has one of the best arms in baseball.
However, Marte was not honored as the best defensive player on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2018 season. Instead, left fielder Corey Dickerson was credited for playing really good defense and earned one of the three Gold Gloves that are handed out outfielders.
