This week, Major League Baseball and Rawlings announced finalists for the 2023 Gold Glove awards, the league’s top defensive honor. There are three finalists at each position in each league. The Gold Glove winners will be announced Sunday, Nov. 5, during an ESPN broadcast at 7:30 p.m. ET.
For the first time in his big-league career, St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado will not win a Gold Glove. Arenado won the NL Gold Glove at third base in each of his first 10 MLB seasons (2013-22), though he is not a finalist this year. The last player other than Arenado to win the NL Gold Glove at third base was Chase Headley, then with the San Diego Padres, in 2012.

Arenado’s 10 consecutive Gold Gloves is tied Seattle Mariners legend and future Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki for the most ever to begin a career.
To be clear, Arenado’s glovework did take a step back this season. His omission from the third base finalists is not egregious. Here’s where he ranked among the eight NL players with at least 800 innings at third base in various defensive stats:

There is both a statistical and voting component to Gold Gloves. The statistical component is 25% of the selection total and the voting, which is done by the 30 MLB managers and up to six coaches per team, counts as the other 75%. Managers and coaches are not allowed to vote for players on their team. Utility Gold Gloves are awarded using a separate statistical formula.
Here now are the 2023 Gold Glove finalists.
