What is the MLB Gold Glove Award?
The Rawlings Gold Glove Awards recognizes the top individual fielding performances for each position in both the American League and National League.
To identify the winners for the nine standard positions, all 30 MLB managers, along with up to six coaches from each team, cast votes for players within their league, excluding those from their own roster. These votes account for 75% of the final selection, while the SABR Defensive Index contributes the remaining 25%.
For the utility position, Rawlings partnered with SABR to develop a unique defensive formula that operates independently of the standard selection process.
