Perhaps as a prelude to his potentially winning his first Rawlings Gold Glove, Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong captured his second consecutive Fielding Bible Award on Friday as the major leagues’ top-fielding second baseman, in voting conducted by Baseball Info Solutions.

Wong, a unanimous winner according to a panel of 12 baseball experts, was the major league leader at his position in defensive runs saved at 14 and was second in the National League in double plays taken part in at 103.
