"Gold Glove winners for the nine standard positions are determined through voting by MLB managers and up to six coaches from each team. Managers and coaches cannot vote for their own players and are only permitted to submit ballots for those in their same league. Those votes amount to 75% of the selection total, with the SABR Defensive Index accounting for the remaining 25%."
"Betts was a finalist at shortstop along with Winn and the Atlanta Braves' Nick Allen. The Gold Glove was a first for Winn in his young career. He led all National League shortstops with 21 outs above average. It was second overall among MLB shortstops to only Kansas City Royals All-Star Bobby Witt Jr. (24). Betts being under consideration for the hardware didn't come as much of a surprise considering he graded favorably in several defensive metrics."
"Mookie Betts was in the running for a seventh career Gold Glove Award and first at shortstop, but he was bested by Masyn Winn of the St. Louis Cardinals. For the utility Gold Glove Award, Rawlings collaborates with SABR to create a specialized defensive formula separate from the traditional selection process. The Chicago Cubs led all teams with six players named as finalists for a 2025 Gold Glove Award. The Toronto Blue Jays led the American League with five finalists."
Masyn Winn of the St. Louis Cardinals won the 2025 National League Gold Glove at shortstop, defeating finalists Mookie Betts and Nick Allen. Winn led NL shortstops with 21 outs above average, second only to Bobby Witt Jr. across MLB. Betts graded well defensively, tying Tampa Bay’s Taylor Walls for the MLB lead at shortstop with +17 defensive runs saved. Cesar Izturis remains the only Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop to have ever won a Gold Glove. Rawlings announced all 2025 Gold Glove winners, with voting made up of MLB managers and coaches (75%) and the SABR Defensive Index (25%). The Cubs had six finalists; the Blue Jays led the AL with five.
