MLB Awards: Rawlings Names 2022 National League Gold Glove Award Finalists
Thursday afternoon, the 2022 Rawlings Gold Glove Award finalists for the National League were announced.
Each position has three finalists. In addition to all nine positions, Rawlings also included its nominees for utility men, a new Gold Glove category announced last month.
The winners will be revealed during an hour-long, special edition of 'Baseball Tonight' on ESPN Nov. 1 at 5 p.m. ET, running before game four of the 2022 World Series.
The award winners are determined by a combination of MLB manager and coach voting, and the SABR Defensive Index.
Each of the 30 MLB teams have their manager and up to six coaches vote for players in their own league, but are not allowed to vote for players on their team. These votes make up 75% of the selection process, as the SABR Defensive Index accounts for the other 25%.
The Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals led the way, each having four of their players nominated.
