The 2026 Gold Glove Awards were announced Monday, recognizing the best defensive players in Major League Baseball. Nine of the 20 total recipients won the award for the first time in their careers.
Among the honorees were Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio, and Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman. The trio headlined a group that featured a significant number of first-time winners across both leagues.
The awards celebrate excellence in fielding at each position, with voters selecting the top defenders in the American League and National League.
