It's been less than a week since the Texas Rangers won their first ever World Series title, and now MLB is awarding players for individual performances from the 2023 season.
MLB on Sunday revealed the 20 Gold Glove winners from both the American League and National League.
The Gold Glove is awarded to fielders who exhibited standout performances at a consistent level throughout the season. Winners are determined by managers and coaches who get to vote on the positions, but not for their own players.

Baseball glove manufacturer Rawlings created the award in 1957, and winners receive a glove made of gold gold lamé-tanned leather attached to a walnut base.
