Royals’ Salvador Perez, Eric Hosmer and Alex Gordon are finalists for Gold Gloves

On the heels of one of the most complete defensive seasons of his career, Royals catcher Salvador Perez is one of three finalists for the Gold Glove Award at his position.

First baseman Eric Hosmer and left fielder Alex Gordon were also voted finalists at their respective position. The finalists were revealed Thursday by Rawlings, the equipment company that sponsors the annual fielding honor. The awards are decided using votes from managers in each league, in additional to a statistical component.

Alcides Escobar, who snagged his first Gold Glove last season, was not among the finalists at shortstop.
