The Gold Glove Awards saw an unprecedented number of recent first-time winners, as 2024 marked the fifth consecutive year with at least ten first-time recipients.
Los Angeles Dodgers' Will Smith and Kiké Hernández were finalists but neither brought home an award, continuing a two-year streak for the team.
Winning requires a blend of managerial votes and the SABR Defensive Index, with managers and coaches making up 75% of the vote.
Patrick Bailey of the Giants edged Will Smith, who excelled in controlling opposition runners but struggled in other defensive metrics.
