Yesterday Major League Baseball announced the finalists for the 2024 Gold Glove Award in each league. Our very own Patrick Bailey, Yaz and Matt Chapman were named as finalists. I expect Chapman is a shoo-in. Yaz has a shot. Maybe Bailey too. It’s a cool distinction for these players and a bright spot in an otherwise largely forgettable 2024 campaign for the San Franciscans.
To determine the winners at the nine standard positions, the 30 MLB managers and up to six coaches from each team vote from a pool of players in their league, excluding players from their own team. These votes comprise 75% of the selection total, with the SABR Defensive Index counting for the other 25%.
