Houston Astros first baseman Christian Walker and Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson each won their fourth Gold Glove award on Sunday in St. Louis. The two players tied for the most career fielding honors among current active recipients.

Boston right fielder Wilyer Abreu claimed his third consecutive Gold Glove for the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks finished with the highest team totals, securing three individual awards each. Red Sox center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela earned his second straight award, while third baseman Caleb Durbin received his first.

The Diamondbacks added three winners to their count. Catcher Gabriel Moreno picked up his second Gold Glove, marking his first since 2023. Shortstop Geraldo Perdomo and right fielder Corbin Carroll both received their first defensive honors this year.

Other recipients included Braves utility player Mauricio Dubón, who won his third award after taking home the honor in 2023 and 2025. Second-time winners also included Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman, center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, New York Yankees left fielder Cody Bellinger, Detroit catcher Dillon Dingler, and Milwaukee second baseman Brice Turang.

First-time winners included Cleveland pitcher Tanner Bibee, Milwaukee left fielder Jackson Chourio, Texas utility player Ezequiel Duran, New York Mets pitcher Nolan McLean, Tampa Bay shortstop Tanner Walls, and Seattle second baseman Cole Young. Voting involved managers and coaches from each team, with 25% of the final score derived from the Society for American Baseball Research defensive index since 2013. Walker earned a $75,000 bonus for the win, while Bibee received $50,000 and Turang took home $25,000.
