"Miguel Rojas was in the running for a first career Gold Glove Award, but he was bested by Javier Sanoja of the Miami Marlins. Sanoja is among the group of first-time Gold Glove winners in 2025. Sanoja is the Marlins' first Gold Glove winner since Marcel Ozuna in 2017. He played every position this season except for catcher and right field."
"Gold Glove winners for the nine standard positions are determined through voting by MLB managers and up to six coaches from each team. Managers and coaches cannot vote for their own players and are only permitted to submit ballots for those in their same league. Those votes amounted to 75% of the selection total, with the SABR Defensive Index accounting for the remaining 25%."
"Rojas played four different positions this season: second base, third base, shortstop and first base. The 36-year-old also made four pitching appearances as he allowed seven runs in five innings of work. While Rojas was not able to add a Gold Glove Award to his career accomplishments, the announcement came less than 24 hours removed from a game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the World Series and becoming a two-time champion."
Javier Sanoja earned the 2025 utility Gold Glove Award, becoming one of several first-time winners and the Miami Marlins' first Gold Glove recipient since 2017. Sanoja played every position this season except catcher and right field. Miguel Rojas was a finalist for the utility award along with Jared Triolo but did not win. The utility Gold Glove has existed since 2022 and the Dodgers have never had a utility winner. Traditional Gold Glove voting uses MLB managers and up to six coaches per team for 75% of the decision, with the SABR Defensive Index providing the remaining 25%. Rawlings and SABR use a specialized defensive formula for the utility award.
