Braves have four Gold Glove finalists
The Braves have four National League Gold Glove finalists. MLB announced the three finalists at each position in both leagues Thursday.
First baseman Freddie Freeman, second baseman Ozzie Albies, right fielder Adam Duvall and pitcher Max Fried were named Gold Glove finalists. The Braves’ franchise record for Gold Glove winners in a season is three, set in 2018.
Freeman is vying for his second Gold Glove. He also won one in 2018. Albies and Duvall would be first-time winners. Fried won his first Gold Glove last season.
Paul Goldschmidt (Cardinals) and Max Muncy (Dodgers) join Freeman as first base finalists. Tommy Edman (Cardinals), Kolten Wong (Brewers) and Albies are finalists at second. Duvall joins Mookie Betts (Dodgers) and Mike Yastrzemski (Giants) as right-fielder finalists. Fried is a finalist alongside Zach Davies (Cubs) and Zack Wheeler (Phillies).
In a surprise, Dansby Swanson wasn’t a finalist at shortstop. That group includes Brandon Crawford (Giants), Kevin Newman (Pirates) and Francisco Lindor (Mets).
Gold Glove winners will be announced Nov. 7.
