CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs<\/a> had a major-league-high three Gold Glove winners this year, with Pete Crow-Armstrong<\/a>, Ian Happ<\/a> and Nico Hoerner<\/a>taking home baseball’s most famous fielding honor.<\/p>\n

It was the first Gold Glove for Crow-Armstrong, part of a breakout season for the All-Star center fielder. Happ won for the fourth consecutive year in left field, and it was the second Gold Glove for Hoerner at second base.<\/p>\n

“Four straight’s pretty special,” Happ said. “We had an unbelievable defensive team this year. Just all around, I think we built off each other and kind of fed off each other and the energy, and it was a real source of pride amongst the group.”<\/p>\n

Hoerner also won in 2023. He was slowed at the beginning of this season as he made his way back from right flexor tendon surgery on Oct. 11, 2024.<\/p>\n

“To have an injury that directly impacts your defense and still win this award, yeah, it feels really good,” Hoerner said.<\/p>\n

Kansas City, Boston and San Francisco each had two winners. Eight players earned the award for the first time, St. Louis-based Rawlings announced Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bobby Witt Jr<\/a>. and Maikel Garcia<\/a> of the Royals became the first shortstop-third baseman teammates to win in the same season since J.J. Hardy and Manny Machado<\/a> for the Orioles in 2013. It was Witt’s second straight Gold Glove at shortstop.<\/p>\n

Patrick Bailey<\/a> and Logan Webb<\/a> of the Giants are the first battery from the same team to win a Gold Glove in the same season since Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright<\/a> for the Cardinals in 2013. It was Bailey’s second straight win at catcher.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox winners were right fielder Wilyer Abreu<\/a> and center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela<\/a>. Abreu, 26, also won last year, and Rafaela, 25, earned the award for the first time.<\/p>\n

New York Yankees<\/a> pitcher Max Fried<\/a> and Cleveland left fielder Steven Kwan<\/a> joined Happ as four-time winners. Atlanta first baseman Matt Olson<\/a> earned his third Gold Glove.<\/p>\n

Detroit catcher Dillon Dingler<\/a>, Texas second baseman Marcus Semien<\/a>, Houston utilityman Mauricio Dub\u00f3n<\/a> and first baseman Ty France<\/a> rounded out the AL winners. France was traded from Minnesota to Toronto on July 31.<\/p>\n

San Diego right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr<\/a>., St. Louis shortstop Masyn Winn<\/a>, third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes<\/a> and Miami utilityman Javier Sanoja<\/a> also won in the NL. It’s the second Gold Glove for Tatis and Hayes, who was traded from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati on July 30<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Semien earned a $100,000 bonus for winning the honor. Kwan and Witt each got $50,000, and Hayes earned a $25,000 bonus.<\/p>\n

Voting was conducted among managers and up to six coaches from each team, who can’t select players on their own club. Since 2013, voting has been factored with a Society for American Baseball Research defensive index, which comprises about 25% of the total.<\/p>\n

The utility category is based on a SABR formula and additional defensive statistics.br\/]<\/p>\n
