Nolan Arenado's Streak of 10 Consecutive Gold Gloves at Third Base Ends

Overview

• Rawlings announced the 2023 Gold Glove finalists, with Nolan Arenado left off the list for NL third baseman for the first time in over a decade.
• Arenado's defensive metrics declined this season due to arm fatigue and back spasms, leading to his exclusion.
• Royals players including Salvador Perez expressed disappointment about being left off the nominations despite strong defensive skills.
• Four Phillies players are finalists: Bryson Stott, J.T. Realmuto, Zack Wheeler, and Taijuan Walker.
• Notable finalists include Julio Rodriguez, Mookie Betts (for RF and utility), and Fernando Tatis Jr.
