Gold Glove Winners
In short
The 2026 Major League Baseball Gold Glove winners were announced on 1 November, with the Boston Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks leading the pack with three winners each. Milwaukee Brewers stars Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio also secured awards following their championship season.
In plain words
These awards recognise the best defensive players in professional baseball. They are given annually to players who show exceptional skill at catching and fielding the ball.
A simple example
Brice Turang won his second Gold Glove for his excellent work as a second baseman, while Jackson Chourio earned his first as a left fielder.
Why it matters
Defensive excellence is just as important as hitting in baseball. These awards highlight the players who prevent runs by making difficult plays in the field.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse these with the 'Silver Slugger' awards, which honour the best hitters rather than the best defenders.
