The St. Louis Cardinals have the best defender in baseball manning the shortstop position for them. And tonight, he was awarded his first career Gold Glove award.
Masyn Winn was announced as the National League Gold Glove winner for the shortstop position, beating out fellow finalists Mookie Betts and Nick Allen for the award. Cardinals' center fielder, Victor Scott II, was also a finalist for a Gold Glove this year, but lost out to the Chicago Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong.

Winn finished fourth in baseball in outs above average this year with 21, and would have led all defenders if he had played as many innings as the guys ahead of him.
