Brandon Crawford, Buster Posey come up short in 2018 Gold Glove voting

SAN FRANCISCO -- For the first time since 2014, the Giants do not have a Gold Glove Award winner.

Brandon Crawford's three-year run as the NL's Gold Glove shortstop was snapped, with the Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed taking home his first award. This did not come as a surprise to the Giants, who knew Ahmed had a big lead in some defensive metrics. He led the NL with 21 defensive runs saved, finishing well ahead of Crawford (six) and Freddy Galvis (seven), the other finalist. Ahmed also had a clear lead in the SABR index, which makes up 25 percent of the vote.
