The Cincinnati Reds have two National League Gold Glove finalists in 2020. Rawlings announced the three finalists in each league at each position on Thursday afternoon. Catcher Tucker Barnhart and outfielder Shogo Akiyama were among the final three at their position.
In 2020 the criteria for Gold Glove Awards was changed from the past. This season (and only this season) the award is based on SDI, which stands for SABR Defensive Index. In past years it has been a part of what goes into the awards (dating back to 2013) – but this year it’s the sole criteria.
