In 2016, Justin Turner very well could have been a Gold Glove winner at third base. Without Nolan Arenado and Anthony Rendon in the league, the then 31-year-old likely would have added some hardware to the trophy case. Since then, the Dodgers’ third baseman has shown some signs of his age.
Fangraphs rates defense utilizing Ultimate Zone Rating, or UZR. A player with a UZR of more than 10 is entering into Gold Glove territory. Anything below 0 is below league average and trending to bad. Turner had a UZR of 9.2 in 2016 with the Dodgers.
