Although Jake Arrieta was nominated for the NL Gold Glove at pitcher, he didn’t win it, with Zack Greinke instead taking home the hardware. The numbers say that was actually a fair decision, and let’s hope that when a certain other award is announced next week, the roles are reversed.
The full slate of winners is below, and you can see discussion here at MLB.com. You should probably also read about the time Rafael Palmeiro won a Gold Glove at first base … when he’d played 28 games there that season.
