"For all qualified first basemen, France finished second in Major League Baseball and first in the AL with 9 Defensive Runs Saved. The 31-year-old led all qualified first basemen with 10 outs above average, while his Fielding Run Value of 8 ranked second in MLB and first in the AL. France wasn't the only Blue Jay nominated for the American League's Gold Glove at first base. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s 8 DRS ranked tied for third in MLB and second in the AL."
"Another Blue Jay who was robbed of a Gold Glove was Ernie Clement. Admittedly, he was never going to win the award at third base, and Maikel García had a strong season. That said, he should've won the utility Gold Glove, as his 22 DRS at all positions led the league, while Clement also posted 12 OAA and 10 FRV."
Rawlings Baseball named Gold Glove winners for the American and National Leagues, with Ty France as the only Toronto Blue Jay recipient. France ranked second in MLB and first in the AL among qualified first basemen with 9 Defensive Runs Saved, led first basemen with 10 outs above average, and posted an 8 Fielding Run Value. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. produced 8 DRS but had -2 OAA and -1 FRV while logging more innings. Alejandro Kirk recorded 9 DRS and 22 FRV but lost to Dillon Dingler. Ernie Clement totaled 22 DRS across positions with 12 OAA and 10 FRV yet did not win the utility award. Andrés Giménez posted 9 DRS and 10 OAA but missed significant time, and Marcus Semien ultimately took home the award.
