CLEVELAND GUARDIANS

Rawlings announced their 2023 MLB Gold Glove Award finalists on Wednesday afternoon and it appears the Guardians have several contenders once more.

After winning four Gold Gloves a season ago, the Cleveland Guardians have three names on this season’s finalists list.

Second baseman Andrés Giménez, third baseman José Ramírez, and left fielder Steven Kwan were each named an American League finalist for their respective positions. Let's take a look at why each Guardian is a great candidate this year.

■  Andrés Giménez
This marks Giménez’s second consecutive season being named a Gold Glove finalist. Joining him as AL second baseman finalists are Mauricio Dubón of the Houston Astros, and Marcus Semien of the Texas Rangers. 

Cleveland’s second baseman led MLB with 401 assists, and the American League with 23 defensive runs saved, per FanGraphs. He seeks his second straight Gold Glove.

■  José Ramírez
This marks Ramírez’s fourth time being named a Gold Glove finalist (also named in 2017, 2018, and 2021). Joining him as AL third baseman finalists are Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros, and Matt Chapman of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Sep 11, 2023; San Francisco, California, USA; Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (11) against the San Francisco Giants during the seventh inning at Oracle Park.

In his 11th MLB season, the 31-year-old put together a strong defensive campaign. Per FanGraphs, among AL third basemen, Ramírez finished fifth in innings played (1,105.0) and putouts (84), while ranking top-10 in assists (220) and double plays started (13). He seeks his first career Gold Glove.

■  Steven Kwan
This marks Kwan’s second straight year being named a Gold Glove finalist. Joining him as AL left fielder finalists are Austin Hays of the Baltimore Orioles, and Daulton Varsho of the Toronto Blue Jays.

▪︎ Per FanGraphs   Kwan led MLB left fielders in total defensive runs saved (15), putouts (344), and innings played (1,352.0). He also led AL left fielders in assists (10). The 26-year-old seeks his second straight Gold Glove.

●  This year’s Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners will be announced on Sunday November 5th at 7:30 PM ET on ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight.”

I think Gimenez could win again for sure.

I also think he remains at second, but I'm not sure what they will do at short. Arias, Rocchio and Freeman are three young guys, none of which grabbed the open job after it became available. 

▪︎. And i think the Guardians  Steven Kwan  should win his   "second"   consecutive Rawlings Golden Glove award.   He certainly has the MLB and AL records and numbers to prove it.   Congratulations Steven on another magnificent  LF  season for the  Cleveland GUARDIANS  and our fans and organizaton.     🙂
