JUST IN: 2023 Gold Glove finalists being announced

The contenders for the 2023 Rawlings Gold Glove Award were announced on Wednesday afternoon, with the winners to be revealed on ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight” on Sunday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Each league has three finalists at each position, including the utility position, which was awarded for the first time in 2022.

• Gold Glove Award winners all-time

The 30 MLB managers and up to six coaches from each team vote from a pool of players in their league, excluding players from their own team, to decide the champions at the nine standard positions. These votes account for 75% of the total selection, with the SABR Defensive Index accounting for the remaining 25%.

Rawlings worked with SABR to develop a customized defensive formula apart from the regular selection procedure for the utility position.

The following are the finalists for the 2023 Gold Glove Award:
