First basemen Christian Walker of Houston and Matt Olson of Atlanta won their fourth Gold Glove awards on Sunday, with Boston right fielder Wilyer Abreu claiming the fielding honour for the third consecutive year.
Walker previously won in 2022, 2023 and 2024, whilst Olson earned the award in 2018, 2019 and 2025. The Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks tied for the most Gold Glove winners with three each. Red Sox centre fielder Ceddanne Rafaela won for the second straight season and third baseman Caleb Durbin was a first-time winner. For Arizona, catcher Gabriel Moreno won his second Gold Glove since 2023, whilst shortstop Geraldo Perdomo and right fielder Corbin Carroll were first-time recipients.
Voting was conducted among managers and up to six coaches from each team, who could not select players from their own club. Since 2013, voting has incorporated a defensive index from the Society for American Baseball Research, which accounts for approximately 25 per cent of the total. Walker earned a $75,000 bonus for his award, whilst Cleveland pitcher Tanner Bibee received $50,000 and Milwaukee second baseman Brice Turang received $25,000.
