Baseball fielders take home Gold Gloves

Baseball fielders claimed the 2026 Gold Glove awards on Sunday.

Christian Walker of the Houston Astros and Matt Olson of the Atlanta Braves both secured their fourth Gold Gloves. Walker previously won in 2022, 2023, and 2024, while Olson took the honor in 2018, 2019, and 2025.

The Boston Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks each had three players win the award. For Boston, right fielder Wilyer Abreu won his third consecutive honor. Center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela earned his second straight award, and third baseman Caleb Durbin was a first-time winner. Arizona added catcher Gabriel Moreno, who won his second Gold Glove after a gap since 2023, along with first-time winners shortstop Geraldo Perdomo and right fielder Corbin Carroll.

Mauricio Dubón of the Braves won his third Gold Glove, having also won in 2023 and 2025. A group of players earned the award for the second time, including Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman and center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, Yankees left fielder Cody Bellinger, Detroit Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler, and Brewers second baseman Brice Turang.

Six players won their first Gold Glove: Cleveland pitcher Tanner Bibee, Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio, Rangers utility man Ezequiel Duran, Mets pitcher Nolan McLean, Rays shortstop Tanner Walls, and Mariners second baseman Cole Young.

Managers and up to six coaches from each team cast votes, excluding players from their own club. Since 2013, a defensive index from the Society for American Baseball Research has accounted for roughly 25 percent of the total. Walker received a $75,000 bonus for the win, Bibee earned $50,000, and Turang took home $25,000.
