The 2012 Gold Glove winners from the National League and the American League were announced on ESPN2 Tuesday night, complete with some no-brainers and some surprises.

While some veterans tacked on yet another Gold Glove, there were a few youngsters who won their first fielding award.

Here’s a look at the 2012 winners, along with a breakdown of each player.

St. Louis Cardinals backstop Yadier Molina won his fifth consecutive Gold Glove Award, posting the second-best fielding percentage in the NL (.997), per ESPN. He caught the second-most innings among all qualifying catchers (1,161).

In the AL, Matt Wieters won his second straight Gold Glove Award. He posted a .991 fielding percentage this season, fourth among qualifying catchers, but he caught the most innings (1,189).
