"There's a reason why Clement has been nominated for the third base Gold Glove award for the second consecutive season. In 603 innings at the hot corner, Clement accumulated 11 Defensive Runs Saved, 6 Outs Above Average, and 4 Fielding Run Value. While he probably won't win the Gold Glove at third base, he's a strong candidate to win the utility Gold Glove award."
"Dubón is also a strong contender to win the Gold Glove, as he played all over the place. In 2025, the Astros' utility player played 13 innings at first, 318 innings at second, 141 innings at third, 206.1 innings at short, 175.1 innings in left field, 89 innings in centre field, and 18 innings in right field. His best positions were second base, shortstop, and left field."
Ernie Clement received nominations at third base and as a utility player after a season of strong defense. At third base in 603 innings he posted 11 Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), 6 Outs Above Average (OAA), and 4 Fielding Run Value (FRV). At second in 423.1 innings he posted 10 DRS, 5 OAA, and 4 FRV. He added 2 OAA and 1 FRV in 170 innings at shortstop and 1 DRS in 69 innings at first. Clement totaled 22 DRS, 14 OAA, and 10 FRV, with DRS tied for the league lead. Mauricio Dubón played across the infield and outfield, finishing with 14 DRS, 20 OAA, and 17 FRV and ranking inside the top ten in those metrics.
