National League Gold Glove Winners Flash the Leather in 2024

Defense took center stage across the National League in 2024, and these standouts were rewarded for turning would-be hits into outs and saving runs all season long. From the mound to the outfield corners, this year’s Gold Glove Award winners set the standard for excellence with steady hands, sharp instincts, and highlight-reel plays.

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (.952 PCT, 3.4 ZR, 1.002 EFF) earned top honors among pitchers, combining athleticism and quick reactions to handle his position with ease. Behind the plate, J.T. Realmuto (.999 PCT, 4.5 ZR, 1.139 EFF) of the Phillies continued to define elite catching, shutting down baserunners and expertly guiding his pitching staff. This marks the 3rd time in his career that Realmuto has earned this honor.

The infield featured a mix of power and polish, led by Atlanta Braves slugger Matt Olson (.997 PCT, 7.3 ZR, 1.072 EFF) who anchored first base with soft hands and reliable scoops for his 3rd career fielding award, while Xander Bogaerts (.987 PCT, 14.4 ZR, 1.067 EFF) picked up his 4th career Gold Glove award by showcasing tremendous range and consistency at second for the San Diego Padres. At third, perennial standout Nolan Arenado (.964 PCT, 6.4 ZR, 1.042 EFF) once again dazzled St. Louis fans with his quick reflexes and arm strength to earn his 11th career fielding honor, while Ezequiel Tovar (.987 PCT, 17.1 ZR, 1.107 EFF) emerged as a defensive force at shortstop for the Colorado Rockies.

The outfield was equally electric, as Brandon Nimmo (.982 PCT, 12.4 ZR, 1.071 EFF) patrolled left for the New York Mets, while Brenton Doyle (.993 PCT, 17.9 ZR, 1.075 EFF) covered acres in center for the Rockies to earn his 2nd career Gold Glove award. Arizona Diamondbacks superstar Corbin Carroll (.989 PCT, 11.7 ZR, 1.061 EFF) brought speed and sure-handed defense to the right field position. Together, these nine players embodied the Gold Glove tradition; defensive excellence that changes games one play at a time.
