Awards season kicked off yesterday with the Rawlings Gold Glove winners, where Kevin Kiermaier walked off with his third, beating out Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mike Trout. It was KK’s first win since 2016.
Juan Toribio and Dawn Klemesh have a good breakdown of exactly how good Kiermaier was, complete with highlights of KK’s greatest hits — er, catches.
Finally, the always great Neil Solondz sits down with Kiermaier to chat about what winning this award means to him.
