"Betts is not only playing an elite shortstop this season, but is doing so after making the unprecedented switch from right field, where he has six Gold Glove honors. Only three players in MLB history have won Gold Gloves at multiple positions, and only one has done it in both the infield and outfield (Darin Erstad has two for his work in the outfield and one as a first baseman)."
"As for Rojas, he has demonstrated the ability to be an effective player anywhere asked of him in the infield this season. He ranks in the 91st percentile among qualified fielders in terms of Outs Above Average, and 11th in Defensive Runs Saved (minimum 200 innings) among second basemen. He also has a 98.9 percent fielding percentage while manning second, 98 percent at third base, and 98.1 percent during his time at shortstop, logging over 100 innings at each position."
Mookie Betts was named a Gold Glove finalist at shortstop, joining Masyn Winn and Nick Allen as finalists. Betts moved from right field to shortstop this season after earning six Gold Gloves in the outfield, and he leads active MLB shortstops with 17 Defensive Runs Saved while ranking in the 90th percentile for Outs Above Average. Miguel Rojas was named a National League Utility Gold Glove finalist after demonstrating defensive versatility across second, third and shortstop, ranking in the 91st percentile for Outs Above Average and posting high fielding percentages at each position.
