MLB announces Gold Glove winners, 13 first-time winners

By Samantha Stephensen

New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe and Colorado Rockies rookie center fielder Brenton Doyle were among 13 first-time Gold Glove winners of the fielding honor.

Gold Glove winners are voted on by coaches and managers, who are forbidden from voting for their own players. That’s 75 percent of the decision with the remaining 25 percent being statistical (provided by SABR). 

Toronto, Texas and the Chicago Cubs tied for the high among clubs with three Gold Glove winners each, Rawlings announced Sunday.
