In the coming weeks, baseball's major awards will be revealed, including the winners of the Rawlings Gold Glove Awards for the finest fielding at each individual position. Kolten Wong, one of the leading vote-getters at second base in the National League, has already received the statistical nod as the favorite for the award.
Wong won the Fielding Bible's honor as the finest defensive player in the majors at second base, edging Colorado's D.J. LeMahieu in one of the closest votes of the year, according to Baseball Info Solutions.
The awards, which serve as the Golden Globes to the Gold Gloves, are voted on by a panel of baseball experts, and they lean heavily on analytics, particularly those kept at Bill James Online and by Baseball Info Solutions.
