MLB Awards season officially got underway Tuesday night with the announcement of the 2022 Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners. The Atlanta Braves were well represented with four finalists with Max Fried and Dansby Swanson taking home the honors.
Fried takes home the honor for the third straight season while Swanson is a first time winner. Fried is the first Braves pitcher since Greg Maddux to win three straight Gold Glove Awards. Ender Inciarte is the last Braves player to win three straight Gold Gloves who took home the honor from 2016-2018. Matt Olson was a finalist at first base, but lost out to Arizona’s Christian Walker.
