ST. LOUIS (AP) \u2014 Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado won his eighth consecutive Gold Glove and right fielder Mookie Betts snared his fifth in a row on Tuesday, his first with the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers after four with Boston.<\/p>\n
Kansas City Royals left fielder Alex Gordon also won his eighth Gold Glove \u2014 and fourth straight \u2014 in his final major league season.<\/p>\n
Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo earned the honor for the third straight year in the pandemic-shortened season and fourth time overall. He was joined for the first time by Cubs shortstop Javier B\u00e1ez.<\/p>\n
Cincinnati catcher Tucker Barnhart won for the second time and first since 2017. St. Louis second baseman Kolten Wong won for the second year in a row, six days after the Cardinals allowed him to become a free agent rather than exercise his $12.5 million option for 2021.<\/p>\n
St. Louis left fielder Tyler O\u2019Neill, Atlanta pitcher Max Fried and San Diego center fielder Trent Grisham were first-time winners in the National League.<\/p>\n
Gordon and Cleveland catcher Roberto P\u00e9rez were the only players to repeat in the AL. They were joined by seven first-time winners, including Indians second baseman C\u00e9sar Hern\u00e1ndez. The others were Seattle first baseman Evan White and shortstop J.P. Crawford, Texas third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa and right fielder Joey Gallo, Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert and Los Angeles Angels pitcher Griffin Canning.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old Gordon announced his retirement in September. He joined Hall of Fame outfielder Roberto Clemente and first baseman Wes Parker (both in 1972) as the only position players to win a Gold Glove in their last big league season, according to Sportradar.<\/p>\n
Gold Gloves are presented annually by Rawlings. Because of the shortened season, the awards were based on the Society for American Baseball Research\u2019s Defensive Index.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
