MLB Gold Glove Awards 2025 Full List of Winners and Reaction

The 2025 MLB Gold Glove Awards, which celebrate the best defensive player at each position, were handed out on Sunday.

The 60 finalists for the annual award were revealed last month.

The winners are decided by 30 MLB managers and up to six coaches from each team voting from a pool of players in their league, though they aren’t allowed to vote for players on their team. The votes count for 75 percent of the selection, with the SABR Defensive Index counting for the other 25 percent.

Here’s a look at the winners for each league and position:

C: Dillon Dingler, Detroit Tigers

1B: Ty France, Toronto Blue Jays

2B: Marcus Semien, Texas Rangers

SS: Bobby Witt Jr., Kansas City Royals

This year’s back-to-back winners include Wilyer Abreu, Bobby Witt Jr., Steven Kwan, Patrick Bailey and Ian Happ.

Witt has established himself as one of the best shortstops in baseball after another outstanding season, and he now has back-to-back Gold Glove Awards. The 25-year-old led the majors with 24 outs above average this year.

His teammate, third baseman Maikel Garcia, earned his first Gold Glove Award after recording 18 outs above average, the sixth-best mark in baseball. He and Witt are the first shortstop/third base duo to win Gold Gloves in the same season since J.J. Hardy and Manny Machado did it with the Baltimore Orioles in 2013.

What’s more, Witt and Garcia are both just 25 years old, so they’ll continue making the Royals’ infield one of the best for a long time.

Like Witt and Garcia, Patrick Bailey and Logan Webb of the San Francisco Giants became the first duo at their respective positions, catcher and pitcher, to win the award in the same year since Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2013. It’s also just the eighth time teammates have won Gold Gloves at catcher and pitcher in the same season.

Ian Happ has grown familiar with the Gold Glove Award at this point, winning his fourth consecutive this season. By earning his fourth on Sunday, he now has the most Gold Gloves in the Chicago Cubs’ franchise history.
