Gabriel Moreno winning a Gold Glove makes him the second catcher ever to win a Gold Glove and a batting title in the same season. He joins Minnesota Twins legend Joe Mauer, who achieved the feat in 2008 and 2009.
Moreno slashed .311/.388/.486 with 16 home runs and 83 RBI this year.
With teammates Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo joining him as Gold Glove winners, the trio became the third group of Diamondbacks players to win the award in the same year.
Dillon Dingler took home his second consecutive Gold Glove, making him the fourth Detroit Tigers player to win the award multiple times and the first since Iván Rodríguez in 2007.
Alex Bregman, who won his second Gold Glove Award, is just the second Cubs third baseman to have won the award, joining Hall of Famer Ron Santo. His teammate, Pete Crow-Armstrong, won his second consecutive Gold Glove.
Mauricio Dubón is in a league of his own when it comes to utility players winning Gold Gloves. He's already won it three times since it was first awarded to utility players in 2022.
For Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio, taking home Gold Glove Awards makes their season even sweeter. Those two helped lead the Brewers to their first World Series title in franchise history, beating the Tampa Bay Rays in five games.
