MLB Gold Glove Winners for 2019 Season Revealed
By Chris Pyo
It's awards season for the MLB following the Washington Nationals' World Series victory, and the 2019 MLB Gold Glove winners have officially been revealed by Rawlings.
This year, it's a mixture of first-time winners and usual suspects, as voted upon by managers and coaches.
American League
P: Mike Leake, Seattle Mariners
C: Roberto Perez, Cleveland Indians
1B: Matt Olson, Oakland Athletics
2B: Yolmer Sanchez, Chicago White Sox
3B: Francisco Lindor, Cleveland Indians
SS: Matt Chapman, Oakland Athletics
LF: Alex Gordon, Kansas City Royals
CF: Kevin Kiermaier, Tampa Bay Rays
RF: Mookie Betts, Boston Red Sox
Matt Olson and Matt Chapman of the Athletics both picked up their second Gold Gloves, while Mookie Betts continued his dominance over the right field position, winning his fourth.
National League
P: Zack Greinke, Arizona Diamondbacks
C: J.T. Realmuto, Philadelphia Phillies

After winning five straight Gold Gloves in the National League, Zack Greinke was traded to the Houston Astros near the deadline, but that didn't stop NL voters from recognizing his fielding ability as he took home his sixth consecutive NL Gold Glove. Meanwhile, Nolan Arenado won his seventh consecutive Gold Glove, a streak that began in his rookie year and has been going since.
Congrats to the winners!
