No Golden Gloves for the Phillies despite four finalists originally appearing on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Phillies had four finalists for National League Gold Glove awards, but were left out Sunday night when the recipients were announced.
Starting pitcher Zack Wheeler, first baseman Bryce Harper, second baseman Bryson Stott and left fielder Brandon Marsh were the nominees.
Atlanta’s Chris Sale was named the Gold Glove pitcher, Arizona’s Christian Walker won at first base, Milwaukee’s Brice Turang at second base and the Cubs’ Ian Happ in left field.
Wheeler won his first Gold Glove last year. Harper earned a nomination in his first full season at first base. Stott, a finalist in 2023 and 2024, has not won yet but has a strong reputation defensively in the league. Marsh is closer to average in center field, but has emerged as one of the best players in baseball in left field.
Gold Glove announcements kick off MLB awards season. From a Phillies perspective, NL Cy Young is the one to watch, where Wheeler is seen as Sale’s likely runner-up in a race that could be close.
Voting is conducted by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, with ballots returned on the last day of the regular season.
Here is the schedule for the price announcements:
November 5: Driver of the Year
November 12: Silver Sluggers
November 14: Comeback Player of the Year and All-MLB teams
November 18: Rookie of the Year
November 19: Manager of the Year
November 20: Cy Young
November 21: MVP
