More trophies belong to the Braves.
Several days after winning the World Series hardware, two Braves were announced as Gold Glove winners.
Pitcher Max Fried, who got the win last Tuesday in the World Series clinching Game 6, won his second straight Gold Glove. Adam Duvall traded to the Braves in July from Miami, won the Gold Glove in right field. Duvall finished the season playing center field for the Braves, who lost Ronald Acuna to an injury in July.
St. Louis became the first team with five Gold Glove winners when first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, second baseman Tommy Edman, third baseman Nolan Arenado, center fielder Harrison Bader and left fielder Tyler O’Neill earned the NL fielding honor.
Arenado won his ninth Gold Glove, his first since he was traded last winter by Colorado. Goldschmidt won his fourth and first since 2017 with Arizona. O’Neill won his second in a row.
Chicago White Sox pitcher Dallas Keuchel, a former Braves player, won his fifth Gold Glove, and San Francisco shortstop Brandon Crawford won his fourth.
