From Curaçao to Venezuela, from the Dominican Republic to Honduras, global talent shone brightest in the 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards, announced Sunday, November 2, honoring Major League Baseball’s top defensive players across both leagues.
Each year, managers and up to six coaches from all 30 MLB clubs vote from a pool of qualified players in their respective leagues. Voters cannot select players from their own team. The results recognize 18 position winners — nine in the American League and nine in the National League — along with utility player awards for each league.
