Despite grading analytically as the best defensive third baseman, Ke'Bryan Hayes was unable to unseat Nolan Arenado as the National League Gold Glove winner at third base, as Rawlings announced Arenado won a 10th straight year Tuesday.
Hayes and Arenado were joined by Ryan McMahon of the Rockies as the third finalist for the award. Hayes graded better defensively, as he led all players with 24 defensive runs saved in 2022, led all third basemen with 18 Outs Above Average and had a .972 fielding percentage, which was was the best among qualified National League third basemen.
