2023 MLB Gold Glove Winners Announced: Rookies and Veterans Alike Awarded for Outstanding Fielding Performances

Record number of first-time winners for the 2023 season; Blue Jays and World Series Champion Texas Rangers lead the pack with three winners each.

Toronto Blue Jays' third baseman Matt Chapman and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier each won their fourth Gold Gloves. Yankees' rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe and Colorado's rookie center fielder Brenton Doyle were first-time winners among a total of 13 first-timers this year.
The Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers, and Chicago Cubs led the awards with three winners each. Two rookies won Gold Glove Awards, marking the third time in the award's history that multiple rookies have won.
The Gold Glove Awards saw a change in the norm with Pittsburgh Pirates' third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes ending the decade-long winning streak of Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals. Mookie Betts, who won six consecutive Gold Gloves, was not among this year's recipients.
Players like Fernando Tatis Jr. from the San Diego Padres stood out for their impressive defensive transition. Tatis moved from shortstop to right field and led all players in defensive runs saved, earning him his first Gold Glove.
Next year's potential Gold Glove winners could include Pete Crow-Armstrong from the Cubs, Ceddanne Rafaela from the Red Sox, and Jeferson Quero from the Brewers, reflecting the increasingly athletic quality of incoming Major League rookies.
