Toronto – The 2024 Platinum Glove Award winners and Gold Glove Team Award winners were announced Friday night at the Rawlings Gold Glove Award ceremony in New York. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh won the Platinum Glove for the American League, and Brewers second baseman Brice Turang won the Platinum Glove for the National League. The award honors the best overall fielder in each league.
The Blue Jays won the AL Gold Glove Team Award as the best fielding team in the AL for the 2024 season. The Brewers won the NL Gold Glove Team Award.
Raleigh was a first-time Gold Glove Award winner this season, as well as the first Mariners catcher to win the award. He’s now the first Mariners player to win the Platinum Glove since the award’s inception in 2011. Turang is the first Brewers player to win a Platinum Glove Award. Like Raleigh, Turang was also a first-time Gold Glover in 2024, and the first Milwaukee second baseman to ever win the award.
Last year’s Platinum Glove Award winners were Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. and Guardians second baseman Andrés Giménez. Raleigh led all MLB catchers this season in games caught (135) and innings caught (1,122), and he led AL catchers with 17 Defensive Runs Saved (17). Raleigh in particular was a standout pitch framer, leading AL catchers in Statcast’s framing runs, with +13 runs saved from his framing.
