Goldschmidt won a Gold Glove in 2013 and, this season, led all first basemen with 18 defensive runs saved, a metric compiled by The Fielding Bible.
"Since day one, his work ethic at first base is unmatched," D-backs manager Chip Hale said of Goldschmidt. "He tries to get better on a daily basis, whether it's improving his range, knowing the hitters ... He's just a really selfless guy. There were a couple of times there were balls that got by him that the official scorer gave hits on, and he was petitioning that they should be errors.
