The Chicago Cubs celebrated on Sunday night as two of their players earned prestigious recognition for their defensive prowess.
Gold Glove Achievements
Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and third baseman Alex Bregman were awarded the National League Gold Glove Award for their respective positions. This recognition highlights their exceptional performance on the field throughout the season. Unfortunately, other Cubs players such as left fielder Ian Happ, right fielder Seiya Suzuki, and shortstop Dansby Swanson were finalists but did not secure the award.
Jackson Chourio from the Milwaukee Brewers topped Ian Happ, preventing him from claiming his fifth consecutive Gold Glove Award for left field. Meanwhile, Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo of the Arizona Diamondbacks surpassed Seiya Suzuki and Dansby Swanson.
Crow-Armstrong’s Recognition
Pete Crow-Armstrong’s performance has been widely praised. He was recently named Player of the Year and NL Outstanding Player by players across the league. At 24, Crow-Armstrong has already won his second Gold Glove Award and leads all MLB outfielders with 26 outs above average (OAA) and a 26 fielding run value (FRV). His quick coverage led to a remarkable 50% conversion rate on five-star catch opportunities. Crow-Armstrong is expected to be considered a favorite for the Platinum Glove Award, voted by fans and announced shortly.
Bregman’s Defensive Skills
Alex Bregman demonstrated resilience after a shaky start to the season. His hard work paid off, earning him his second Gold Glove Award, the first since 2024. Among NL third basemen, Bregman tied for the second-best fielding run value (7) and led the position with 15 defensive runs saved, making him one of only two third basemen to achieve double-digit DRS. Bregman also recorded the highest assists among NL third basemen. He is the first Cubs third baseman to win a Gold Glove Award since Ron Santo in 1968.
White Sox’s Chase Meidroth
On the American League side, Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth was a finalist for the second base Gold Glove. Although he did not win, he led all AL second basemen in fielding run value (10) and placed third in both fielding percentage (.986) and outs above average (9), playing 150 games at the position.
