On Tuesday, MLB announced the 2024 Gold Glove finalists, featuring a talented roster that includes Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson, Yankees right fielder Juan Soto and Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan.
The nominations include three finalists at each position, including a utility position, which was first awarded in 2022. The utility finalists are all players who played multiple positions throughout the season.
The finalists for the nine standard positions were determined by two factors, per league: a pool of 30 MLB managers and up to six coaches, whose votes counted for 75% of the player roster, and the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) Defensive Index which makes up the remaining 25%. For the utility function, Rawlings and SABR worked together on a separate formula to determine the selection.
In the AL, a first-time Gold Glove winner is guaranteed for the catcher, as all three finalists – Freddy Fermin, Cal Raleigh and Jake Rogers – have not previously won the honor. Fermin and Raleigh have been nominated for the first time.
The winners will be announced on Sunday, November 3 at 8:30 ET on ESPN.
