No Gold Gloves for the Phillies despite 4 finalists originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Phillies had four finalists for the National League Gold Glove awards, but were shut out Sunday night when the recipients were announced.
Starting pitcher Zack Wheeler, first baseman Bryce Harper, second baseman Bryson Stott and left fielder Brandon Marsh were the nominees.
Atlanta’s Chris Sale was named Gold Glove pitcher, Arizona’s Christian Walker won at first base, Milwaukee’s Brice Turang at second base and the Cubs’ Ian Happ in left field.
Wheeler won his first Gold Glove last year. Harper earned a nomination in his first full season at first base. Stott, a runner-up in 2023 and 2024, has yet to win but has a solid defensive reputation in the league. Marsh is closer to average in center field, but has become one of baseball’s best in left field.
Gold Glove announcements kick off MLB awards season. From the Phillies’ perspective, the one to watch is NL Cy Young, where Wheeler is seen as the likely runner-up to Sale in what could be a close race.
Voting is conducted by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America and ballots are cast on the last day of the regular season.
Here is the schedule of awards announcements:
November 5: Executive of the year
November 12: Silver Sluggers
November 14: Comeback Player of the Year and All-MLB Teams
November 18: Rookie of the year
November 19: Manager of the year
November 20: Cy Young
November 21: MVP
