"We enjoy providing fans with useful metrics and data that can be utilized as they vote for their favorite defenders in the game," said Scott Bush, chief executive officer of SABR. "It's always exciting to see who the fans select as Platinum Glove Award winners knowing it means so much to the athletes that are recipients of the honor." "Now in its tenth year, the Rawlings Platinum Glove Award gives the fans a chance to weigh in on their favorite defenders in each league while showing their passion and appreciation for superior defensive performance," said Mike Thompson, chief marketing officer of Rawlings. The Rawlings Platinum Glove Award winners are determined by combining votes based on an adjusted SABR Defensive Index™ for each of the nine Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners in each League and votes from baseball fans worldwide. In his final Major League season, Gordon, who has won eight Rawlings Gold Glove Awards throughout his 13-year career, joins Adrian Beltre and Matt Chapman as one of three players in the American League™ to win multiple Rawlings Platinum Glove Awards since the Award's inception in 2011. He is the first infielder to start his career with eight consecutive Rawlings Gold Glove Awards.
Arenado ties catcher Yadier Molina with four Platinum Glove Awards each, the most in either League.
