The Kansas City Royals and Los Angeles Dodgers each secured four finalists for this year's Gold Glove awards, Rawlings announced Thursday.
Royals left fielder Alex Gordon is seeking the honor for the fourth time, while previous winners Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez also received nominations. Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar has never won the award.
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina aims to win his seventh straight Gold Glove, while teammate Jhonny Peralta was among those omitted despite ranking fourth in the majors in FanGraphs' defensive runs saved by a shortstop.
DRS is an advanced fielding metric that attaches a run value to each player to determine how many runs each player saved, with zero being average.
Below is a full list of the finalists from both the American and National League. Winners will be determined by managers, coaches and statistical data, and announced Nov. 4.
