GOLD GLOVE WINNERS: Astros Jeremy Peña and Kyle Tucker earn elite award ahead of World Series Game 3

Houston Astros Jeremy Peña and Kyle Tucker have received a top honor ahead of game 3 of the World Series. They won the 2022 Rawlings Gold Glove Award for their respective positions.

The finalists per league at each position were announced in October. The awards were announced in a special edition broadcast of “Baseball Tonight” on Tuesday.

According to MLB.com, the winners for the nine standard positions are determined by the 30 MLB managers and up to six coaches from each team who vote from a pool of players in their league, excluding players from their own team. The votes comprise 75% of the selection total, with the SABR Defensive Index counting for the other 25%.

For the utility position, MLB.com says Rawlings collaborated with SABR to create a specialized defensive formula to determine a winner.

In the American League, Astros Jeremy Peña is the first rookie shortstop ever to win a Gold Glove. He’s also the first Astros rookie at any position to win the award.

According to MLB.com, Peña led the AL in defensive runs saved. Other finalists in the category included former Astros player Carlos Correa, who Peña replaced and who won the award last year when he was still in Houston. Xander Bogaerts of Boston was also a finalist in the shortstop category.

For American League right fielder, Astros star Kyle Tucker earned the award against Jackie Bradley Jr. (Boston/Toronto) who previously won the position as a center fielder and Max Kepler (Minnesota) who led all right fielders with 12 Outs Above Average, according to MLB.com.

In addition to Correa in 2021, another Houston Astro won the Gold Glove award in 2021. Yuli Gurriel was honored for his performance last year at first base.
