Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and third baseman Alex Bregman have been honored with National League Gold Glove Awards for their outstanding defensive play. Crow-Armstrong, who won his first Gold Glove last year, led all MLB outfielders with 26 outs above average (OAA) and a 26 fielding run value (FRV), converting a remarkable 50% of five-star catch opportunities.
Bregman overcame a challenging start to the season with shaky defense, eventually earning his second Gold Glove Award, with his 7 FRV tied for second-best among NL third basemen and 15 defensive runs saved leading the majors at his position. This marks the first time a Cubs third baseman has won the Gold Glove since Ron Santo in 1968.
