The finalists for Gold Glove honors have been announced, and the winners will be revealed on Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Three finalists were named for each position in each league, and what follows are the predicted winners of each of the 18 Gold Glove Awards that will be handed out on Tuesday.
Among the determining factors are Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), Ultimate Zone Rating per 150 Chances (UZR/150) and overall defensive rating (Def), as well as candidates’ career Gold Glove totals.
Keep in mind defensive metrics are not the only things voters take into account when it comes to handing out the hardware, as we’ve seen some wildly undeserving winners in the past.
That makes predicting the winners somewhat difficult, but here goes nothing.
