Prior to 2018, Kolten Wong had always shown potential with the glove. He was capable of pulling out some really excellent plays but seemed to struggle with consistently converting the routine.
This season has been another story.
Wong is having one of those years where the eye test confirms the stats, and vice versa. His glove has been smooth and crisp, his arm sharp and precise. Even when he’s scrambling to make a play with what looks like an errant throw — like Tuesday night’s web gem — everything seems to turn to gold.
And so should his glove, when awards season rolls around.
