BOCA RATON, Fla. – One night after being passed over for a Gold Glove Award, Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons was named the overall 2015 Wilson Defensive Player of the Year for all of major league baseball, regardless of position.
Simmons, who was a unanimous winner of the Fielding Bible Award last month as the best defensive shortstop in the majors – the third consecutive year he won that honor unanimously – was similarly named Wednesday night as Wilson’s best defensive shortstop in the majors by Wilson for a third year in a row.
