Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Tommy Pham was surprisingly announced as a Gold Glove Finalist recently. Pham started 104 games in left field for the Pirates in 2025. He tallied just three errors in left to go along with six assists and 200 putouts, giving him a fielding percentage of .988 at the position. Pham also made a couple of starts in right field for Pittsburgh, ending up with five DRS overall and -2 OAA.
Pham’s never won a Gold Glove, so he may have been shocked by the Finalist nod. Plenty of fans certainly were, and at least one observer poked fun at Pham and Pittsburgh in light of the news, but Pham clapped back.
