Third baseman Matt Chapman, first baseman Matt Olson, shortstop Marcus Semien and left fielder Robbie Grossman were nominated for Gold Glove Awards, Rawlings Sports announced on Twitter on Thursday afternoon.
Olson, who won the Gold Glove Award in 2018, will be up for consecutive honors. He was nominated along with Houston’s Yuli Gurriel and Toronto’s Justin Smoak. Olson’s 5.8 SDI was ranked 13th among all American League defenders and first among all AL first basemen (as of August 13, the latest release).
The SDI index accounts for 25 percent of the award’s selection process, with managers and coaches also voting on the award.
