Gold Glove Award finalists 2019: Five Astros and three Nationals players crack the list
On Thursday, Rawlings announced the 2019 Gold Glove Award finalists for both the American and National Leagues. As is always the case, each position has three finalists, and the winner will be chosen through a vote by managers and coaches that has already been conducted. Voters are/were not permitted to choose their own team's players, so as to avoid potential bias. Rawlings has, in recent years, introduced a statistical component as well.
The winners will be announced on Nov. 3 as part of a televised special on ESPN.
