Rawlings will award Gold Gloves utility players
To earn consideration for a Gold Glove as a standard position player, an infielder or outfielder must have played in the field for at least 713 innings through his team’s 141st game. Pitchers must pitch in 141 innings of their teams’ first 141 games and catchers must play in a minimum of 71 of their teams’ first 141 games to qualify.
For the utility position, Rawlings worked with SABR to create a “specialized defensive formula separate from the traditional selection process.”
