The Fielding Bible Award is presented to defensive players at each position every year, as voted by a writer’s panel. The Chicago Cubs Javier Baez earned his fourth award overall and first at the shortstop position.
In describing my feelings in as much of an unbiased nature as objectively possible, the fact that Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed beat out the Chicago Cubs’ Javier Baez for the National League gold glove for shortstops in 2019 is wild, and, frankly, should not have happened.
Over the past couple of seasons, Báez has been one of the best defensive shortstops across baseball.
