Marte beat out finalists Adam Duvall and Christian Yelich to receive his second career Gold Glove. He finished second this year among all NL outfielders with 17 Defensive Runs Saved, trailing only Cubs right fielder and fellow 2016 Gold Glove Award winner Jason Heyward (18), and ranked seventh with a 6.2 Ultimate Zone Rating.
The 28-year-old frequently put his premium speed and range on display in PNC Park's expansive left field, but his arm may have been his most valuable weapon.
Marte led the NL with 17 outfield assists, the most by a Pirates player since Dave Parker had 26 in 1977 -- and he did that despite playing only 129 games, as a lingering back injury cost him most of September.
