The Brewers’ run prevention skills were as big a part of their sudden success in 2018 as anything, and now it looks like that effort is being recognized nationally.
Gold Glove finalists were announced by Rawlings today, and the Brewers have four players in the running for baseball’s most well-known defensive award: Manny Pina, Travis Shaw, Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain.
The fact that they’re finalists really only means they finished in the Top 3 in voting for their position, and there’s been enough wonky Gold Glove results in recent years that some of the gold has lost its luster, but it’s still never a bad thing to see members of The Good Land 25 get some national recognition for their glovework.
