ST. LOUIS — Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier won their fourth Gold Gloves, while New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe and Colorado Rockies rookie center fielder Brenton Doyle were among 13 first-time winners of the fielding honor for Major League Baseball players.
The Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers — fresh off the first World Series championship in franchise history — tied for the high among clubs with three winners each, Rawlings announced Sunday.
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andrés Giménez and left fielder Steven Kwan won their second Gold Gloves, along with Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson and left fielder Ian Happ and Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker.
First-time winners in the American League included Rangers catcher Jonah Heim, first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and right fielder Adolis García, Blue Jays pitcher José Berríos, Houston Astros utilityman Mauricio Dubón and Volpe.
In the National League, first-time winners included San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. and utilityman Ha-Seong Kim, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler, Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno, Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner, Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes and Doyle.
Hayes ended the streak of Nolan Arenado of the St. Louis Cardinals, who had won in his first 10 seasons. That matched the high set by Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki from 2001-10.
Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers had won six straight Gold Gloves. He was among the finalists in right field and the utility role after a season in which he played 107 games in right, 70 at second base and 16 at shortstop.
Repeat winners were Giménez, Happ, Kwan, Swanson and Walker.
Volpe became the second rookie to win at shortstop. Houston's Jeremy Peña was the first last year, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Berríos, Chapman, Giménez, Kiermaier and Wheeler earned $50,000 bonuses in their contracts, while Hayes earned $25,000.
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 accounts for about 25% of the total.
The utility category is based on a SABR formula and additional defensive statistics.
