Here are all the Gold Glove Award finalists

The 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove Award finalists were announced on X on Wednesday, with the winners set to be unveiled on ESPN on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Each league has three finalists at each position, including the utility spot, which was awarded for the first time in 2022.

• All-time Gold Glove winners

To determine the winners at the nine standard positions, the 30 MLB managers and up to six coaches from each team vote from a pool of players in their league, excluding players from their own team. These votes comprise 75% of the selection total, with the SABR Defensive Index counting for the other 25%.

For the utility position, Rawlings collaborated with SABR to create a specialized defensive formula separate from the traditional selection process.

The Cubs had an MLB-best six players named finalists, and the Blue Jays also had six nominations for five players, with Ernie Clement vying for the award at third base and utility.

Here are the 2025 Gold Glove Award finalists:

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Fried’s first year with the Yankees could bring him his fourth Gold Glove; he won the award in the NL with the Braves each year from 2020-22. He paced all pitchers with 39 assists and 10 defensive runs saved this season. deGrom enjoyed a healthy season for the first time since 2019 and looked like his former Cy Young self, logging a 2.97 ERA over 172 2/3 innings. He didn’t commit an error all season. The same goes for Severino, who tossed 162 2/3 innings in his first season with the A’s. He was an NL Gold Glove finalist last year with the Mets.

In his first full Major League season, Dingler impressed both at and behind the plate. Defensively, he ranked among the top 15% of qualified catchers in Statcast Blocks Above Average (+10, 95th percentile), Caught Stealing Above Average (+4, 85th percentile) and framing (+7, 91st percentile).

Kirk, meanwhile, led all catchers with +21 Blocks Above Average and ranked second with +16 Catcher Framing Runs. He finished tied for second among all players, regardless of position, with a fielding run value of +22. He was an All-Star for the second time this past season and is seeking his first Gold Glove Award.

Narváez, also in his first full big league campaign, was one of the most well-rounded defensive backstops in the game. He finished among the top 20% in four Statcast categories -- Blocks Above Average (+6, 88th percentile), Caught Stealing Above Average (+9, 98th), framing (+5, 85th) and Pop Time (1.92 seconds, 80th). He also tied for most defensive runs saved among AL catchers, with +10.

The 39-year-old Santana is looking to win back-to-back Gold Gloves at first. He played 116 games with the Guardians before moving to the Cubs for eight games in September, so he falls under the auspices of the AL for this honor. One year after leading all players at the position with +14 OAA, he posted +8 OAA this year, third-best in the bigs.

The player at the top of that list, with +10 OAA, was France, who was dealt from the Twins to the Blue Jays at the Trade Deadline. This was his best defensive season for the seven-season veteran, by far. Before 2025, he had a career minus-15 fielding run value. This year, he finished at +7. Guerrero also made huge strides on defense this season. His 10 DRS tied for the sixth most among qualified first basemen. His DRS total at the position from 2020-24 was minus-8.

Giménez is looking to win his fourth consecutive Gold Glove Award at the keystone position. He once again demonstrated his tremendous range at second with +10 Outs Above Average, which was second among qualified second basemen only to the Cubs’ Nico Hoerner. Rengifo had his best defensive season thus far, entering the 2025 campaign with -9 defensive runs saved for his career at the position but finishing this past season at +5. And Semien, who is seeking his second career Gold Glove Award, ranked third among AL second basemen with +7 OAA.

Someone here will be taking home their first Gold Glove. Clement played all over the infield -- more on that versatility in a minute -- but he was best at third base, where he recorded 11 DRS and +6 OAA in 603 innings. Garcia paced all qualified AL third basemen with 13 DRS while his +17 OAA was tied for seventh overall in MLB, regardless of position.

Ramírez keeps combining his impressive offensive production -- he completed his third 30-30 season in 2025 -- with steady defense at the hot corner. He has produced a positive OAA and fielding run value in each of the past five seasons. His totals in those categories this year -- +7 and 6, respectively -- were his best since 2021.

The already highly decorated Seager is still looking for his first Gold Glove Award. He ranked second among AL shortstops with +16 DRS in 2025. Walls was the leader in that category with +17, which was also tied for the Major League lead with Mookie Betts. Witt is seeking his second Gold Glove honor -- he won his first in 2024, when he also finished runner-up in AL MVP voting. Witt led all MLB shortstops with a fielding run value of +20 in 2025, with 18 of those runs coming from his spectacular range. He also led all position players with +25 OAA.

Over his first three seasons, Kwan won three Gold Glove Awards, and he’s looking to make it 4-for-4 in 2025. He led all left fielders by a wide margin with +22 DRS, and he also led all players at the position with +6 OAA and all players regardless of position by preventing 7 extra runs from baserunners. Langford, in his sophomore season, was second at the position with +12 DRS and tied for second with +5 OAA. Soderstrom also had +5 OAA, and he ranked in the 88th percentile with an average arm strength of 90.7 mph.

Although Rafaela had his best offensive season at age 24 (16 homers, 20 stolen bases), it was his defense that made the most headlines. Thanks to his elite speed, fantastic instincts and strong arm, Rafaela’s +22 fielding run value was second only to Giants catcher Patrick Bailey (+31).

Isbel and Rodríguez have been consistently outstanding in center field over the past few seasons. Since the start of 2023, they have racked up +32 and +30 OAA, respectively, placing both of them within the top five center fielders. This year, Isbel finished with +12 OAA while J-Rod had +10.

Abreu, García and Smith had three of the best arms in the Majors this past season -- Abreu’s average arm strength of 94.2 mph tied for 10th among all fielders, García’s 91.9 mph ranked in the 92nd percentile and Smith’s 90.8 mph was in the 88th percentile.

García led all right fielders with +16 DRS, while Abreu tied with the Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. for second most, with +15. Smith, in his rookie season, was right behind them, with +12. Abreu and Tatis also tied for second in OAA, with +8 (behind only Corbin Carroll’s +9). A Gold Glove Award this year would be the second for either Abreu or García.

Clement’s 2.9 Defensive WAR tied Rafaela for the most in MLB. He was a plus defender at third base, second base and shortstop, leading to +13 OAA. As he’s also a finalist at third base, Clement could become the fourth player to win a Gold Glove at multiple positions, joining Darin Erstad (outfield and first base), Placido Polanco (second base and third base) and DJ LeMahieu (second base and utility). He would be the first player to do so in the same year.

Dubón, who won a Gold Glove at this spot in 2023 and was a finalist in ‘24, played every position on the diamond except for pitcher and catcher for the third straight season. The results were stellar across the board: 14 DRS, +17 fielding run value, +20 OAA (sixth most in MLB). Schneemann tallied +8 OAA and 8 DRS while lining up at every position except pitcher, catcher and first base.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Pitching in the National League for the first time, it didn’t take Boyd long to earn a Gold Glove finalist nod, as well as the first All-Star honors of his career. The lefty was excellent at limiting the running game, picking off an MLB-best 11 runners. Peterson, too, made the All-Star team for the first time, pitching a career-high 168 2/3 innings and playing solid defense on the mound.

Webb took his game to another level in terms of strikeouts in 2025, leading the NL with 224 K’s. His +7 defensive runs saved was the top mark among all NL pitchers. The San Francisco right-hander committed just one error in 42 fielding chances and effectively limited would-be basestealers.

Bailey, an elite pitch-framer with a massive arm behind the plate, could be the first NL catcher to win back-to-back Gold Gloves since Yadier Molina won eight straight from 2008-15. He caught 27 runners stealing in 2025, behind only the Phillies’ J.T. Realmuto (30) for the most in the National League, and his +31 fielding run value was by far the best in MLB.

Kelly, who got off to a scorching start at the plate, had a strong year in both blocking (he ranked in the 88th percentile in MLB in 2025) and throwing (five Caught Stealing Above Average). With one of the strongest arms of any catcher, Torrens led all backstops with 12 Caught Stealing Above Average. He played 92 games for the Mets due to injuries to Francisco Alvarez, grading out above average in framing as well.

Harper, who transitioned to first base from the outfield in 2023, has yet to win a Gold Glove in his impressive career. He had a solid year defensively (+1 OAA) and has been a plus defender at first since changing positions.

Olson won AL Gold Gloves with the Athletics in both 2018 and ‘19, but he hasn’t won the award since. He led all MLB first basemen with +17 Defensive Runs Saved, and his +9 OAA were tops at his position in the NL.

Steer made 11 appearances in the outfield for the Reds but saw the majority of his time at first base, where he was a much better defender. Part of Cincinnati’s young position-player core, Steer tied for fourth among all qualifying first basemen with +6 OAA at the position.

Edwards saw more than twice as much time at second base (97 appearances) as at shortstop (41) in 2025, and he was a significantly better defender at the keystone as well. Edwards recorded +9 OAA at second, compared to a surprising -7 OAA during his time at short. Only two second basemen -- Hoerner (+14) and Toronto’s Giménez (+10) had more OAA at the position.

After another strong year defensively, Hoerner -- the 2023 NL Gold Glove winner at second -- will look for his second career Gold Glove. Turang, the 2024 winner, was named a finalist after finishing the year with -2 OAA at second base for the first-place Brewers.

Hayes changed teams at the Trade Deadline as he was shipped from the Pirates to the Reds, but his glove remained one of the game’s best. The 2023 Gold Glove winner posted career bests with +21 OAA and a +17 fielding run value, which ranked in the 99th and 98th percentile, respectively.

McMahon also changed addresses at the Deadline as he went from the Rockies to the Yankees. Before the move, he tallied four OAA and three DRS with the Rox. Shaw’s 12 DRS trailed only Hayes (19) among NL third basemen. Shaw could become the 19th rookie to win a Gold Glove.

Playing in a career-high 135 games in his first season with the Braves, Allen got a chance to show off his special glove on a regular basis. He finished 2025 with +17 OAA, tied with the Phillies' Trea Turner for the third most among MLB shortstops.

Seeking a fourth straight Gold Glove, Happ graded out as an average defender in the outfield (0 OAA) by Statcast in 2025. He was charged with just one error in 306 outfield chances.

The veteran Pham, whose 2025 stint with the Pirates marked his 10th franchise in 12 Major League seasons, played primarily left field after splitting time at all three outfield positions in 2024. He totaled -2 OAA and 5 DRS during his time in left.

Stowers enjoyed a breakout season at the plate for Miami before a left oblique strain in mid-August shut down his All-Star campaign. He displayed a strong throwing arm (+2 arm value runs) despite limited range (-3 OAA), making 76 appearances in left field, 11 in center and 42 in right.

The 26-year-old Young is the elder statesman in this triumvirate of young, exciting center fielders. He also made some crazy catches in September. A 2024 Gold Glove finalist, Young totaled +14 OAA one year after recording +20.

Scott used his special speed to record +17 OAA. But by that metric, there was no outfielder better than PCA this season. His +24 OAA was second overall to Witt Jr., and his +21 fielding run value ranked fourth in the Majors. Crow-Armstrong also tied Fernando Tatis Jr. for the most DRS among qualified NL outfielders (15).

This trio represents the top three in the NL for OAA among right fielders in 2025. Carroll paced the group with +9, Tatis came in at +8 and Frelick finished at +7. The three also landed atop the league leaderboard for the position in DRS (Tatis, +15; Frelick, +9; Carroll, +7, tied with the Dodgers’ Andy Pages for third). Tatis’ 95.5 mph average arm strength was tied with the Guardians’ Nolan Jones for fifth in the game.

Rojas filled in all over the infield for the Dodgers, making 68 appearances at second base, 23 at third base, 22 at shortstop and even one at first base in 2025. He was at his best defensively at second, racking up +7 OAA at the keystone (compared to -1 OAA at third base and 0 OAA at short).
