Gold Glove winners

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman has made history by winning his fifth Gold Glove, the most of any player this year, highlighting his exceptional defensive skills. This achievement places Chapman among the Giants' elite, joining former players Matt Williams and Jim Davenport as the only Giants to earn a Gold Glove at third base. Alongside Chapman, 14 other players received their first Gold Gloves, tying the record for first-time winners in a single season. The awards, announced by Major League Baseball, also recognized multiple players from six teams, including the Cleveland Guardians and Kansas City Royals. Notably, the voting process incorporates a defensive index from the Society for American Baseball Research, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of players' performances. Chapman's success adds momentum to a Giants team looking to strengthen its roster and compete for the National League pennant.
