The Gold Glove is the one award at the end of the baseball season that really highlights the defensive side of the game. For other MLB awards such as the MVP, it can factor in defense, but it also can sometimes be overlooked. The Gold Glove is the award that wants to look strictly at and award the best defenders at each position in baseball. However, there’s one big problem. Sometimes the Gold Glove isn’t given to the best fielder. And sometimes, they were given to some of the worst defenders. That’s what I want to explore. I’m taking a look at some of MLB’s Worst Gold Glove Winners in the last decade and trying to figure out why those players came away with the award. Is it because of reputation? Offensive stats? Are other players playing multiple positions? Volume? Perhaps it’s all of the above.

Another thing to note about Hosmer’s award in ’17 is that Joe Mauer actually led AL first basemen in OAA, DRS, and UZR, but wasn’t even a finalist for the award. Don’t know that it’s crazy important in the context of his career, but he was my favorite player growing up and it would’ve been cool for him to win it at a totally different position.

@joelnelson4770 8 месяцев назад

It is so weird to me that so many Royals like Hosmer and Perez won so many awards due to previous wins influencing voters despite lackluster fielding, yet Lorenzo Cain, another Royal, had one of the most incredible defensive careers out in CF yet never won when he was in KC and only got his first Gold Glove in 2019 with the Crew

Completely devalued this award and turned it into an outright joke where before it was more a eye rolling joke. What possible justification was there for awarding Palmiero , who actually was a fine fielder, for so few games? Obviously just voting on auto pilot

@miguelangelsucrelares5009 7 месяцев назад

Baseball writers have nothing to do with the GG awards. It's voted by the managers and coaches. In recent years, a sabermetric component was introduced in the calculations, but even that only accounts for 25% of the weight. GG is generally a terrible award and it's pretty much the fault of managers and coaches.

@chrisweidner4768 8 месяцев назад

Sadly, all too often it has been a popularity contest. Often going to the best hitter or biggest name. A guy getting a gold glove after only playing 28 games. Madness.

@sammycampbell1654 8 месяцев назад

It's been a lot of things. A consolation prize for not getting a higher MVP vote. A "just vote for the guy you did last year" award. It's been given for offensive accolades and not It's purpose of identifying great defensive play. I feel all of those factors play into Raffy's 99 GG where he played 128 games at DH

I'm starting to regret that I wasn't more specific with the video title because a lot of people seem to have missed when I said I was only covering players in the last ten years. That's my bad. Regadless, all the responses mean a lot, even if its critcism! Edit: I’ve decided it would be better for me to change the title of the video, so I’ve done that.

@ajjdgj6tmgedvnmtmek 8 месяцев назад

Personally I think a big issue with positional players is that players might be really good in one position but qualify in a different position. As an example, take 2023 LF finalist Daulton Varsho. Qualified in LF with 817 innings there out of 1279, the rest in CF. Has great year stats with 11 OAA (T-18th overall) and 29 DRS (1st overall) total. But despite playing about 2/3 of his innings in LF, he only generated 1 OAA and 11 DRS in LF. With half as many games in CF, he generated 10 OAA and 18 DRS. He was a way better player in CF than LF. Another finalist in LF, Steven Kwan, is arguably a better LF player. In 1352 innings, all LF, he generated 9 OAA and 16 DRS. That's a lot more OAA per inning and a little less DRS per inning if we just look at performance in LF and leave out Varsho's performance in CF. That said, I'm personally rooting for Varsho because he's a below average hitter while also being league leader in DRS this year and having the third highest dWAR in the league. Seems like the right kind of guy to win a Golden Glove, and it might get him some longevity. That said, Kwan already got one his rookie year so like you say the incumbent effect might mean he gets another.

@peaceofyoshi 7 месяцев назад

The Royals in particular are interesting because in '14 & '15 they prided themselves as such a great defensive team and I think that reputation just followed them throughout the years, even when they were bo longer good. I guess it kind of balances out though, cause no Royals were nominated this year despite a couple being deserving(mainly Witt Jr obvs).

@Torpedosneak 2 месяца назад

The 2011 awards were atrocious too. Just looking at the NL outfielders: Matt Kemp winning the gold glove in 2011 was egregious, robbing Chris Young. Parra was a deserved win in LF, but the other two nominated were not good defenders. They also gave the award to Ethier in RF for a extremely pedestrian season and didn't even nominate Justin Upton

@buddycharles2161 7 месяцев назад

This man HATES the Royals 😂 all joking aside, I think that there’s an argument for the eye test influencing things defensively. Defensive metrics are not nearly as fleshed out as offensive ones, so a lot of voters default to past history and how the player looks in the games they catch. Its incredibly flawed and prone to making selections that don’t make statistical sense, but “look” right

@breadedagenda 8 месяцев назад

@Noctis_B 7 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed the music to this video... Super Mario RPG, right? At least during the Hosmer segment. I think players who have won the GG before get a bunch of clout and it's easier to vote for them - go back MANNNY years (I think, 1997) and Rafael Palmiero vs Tino Martinez - it was a joke.

@runaway-panda30 8 месяцев назад

Donovan was the only true utility player out of those 3. Edman played almost all of his innings at second or short. Varsho played right and center with some catcher. Donovan played 140+ innings at second, third, left, and right. With another about 100 innings combined at short and first. That’s why he won it

@ABrandNewBallGame 8 месяцев назад

I don’t agree. Playing more positions does not = better utility player. Edman playing two infield positions at a much higher level is far more valuable. I can definitely understand thinking that Edman and Varsho shouldn’t have been nominated, but once they were nominated I think it has to go to the better players.

@ashleyjessee5953 8 месяцев назад

Framing is to me cheating. If a pitch is not a strike you shouldn’t cheat to make it a strike.

@ABrandNewBallGame 8 месяцев назад

It’s definitely this weird grey area we don’t see too often where players are bending the rules to their advantage. But, there’s really no way to penalize it. For framing to go away, it would require umpires to no longer call balls and strikes.

@Bewbscueser 8 месяцев назад

The outsized importance of framing drives me nuts. It is far too impactful and is exhibit A for switching to robo umpires. Baseball has too many issues that are justified by saying it's tradition. Strikes should be strikes and balls should be balls. There should be one strike zone not one strike zone for every umpire. Baseball is conservative to the point of absurdity so I don't see this changing any time this century.
