Red Sox's Devers Wins First Gold Glove Award

Boston's All-Star Third Baseman Earns Prestigious Defensive Honor

Devers' Impressive Season on the Field Recognized with Coveted Award

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has won his first career Gold Glove Award, the team announced on Sunday. The award, presented annually to the best defensive player at each position in both the American and National Leagues, is a testament to Devers' remarkable season in the field.

Devers, 26, committed just seven errors in 136 games at third base in 2023, finishing with a .979 fielding percentage. He also led all third basemen in the American League with 114 assists and finished second in the league with 237 putouts.

Devers' defensive prowess was on display throughout the season, with several highlight-reel plays at third base. He made numerous diving stops and backhanded grabs, showing off his exceptional range and quick reflexes.

The Gold Glove Award is a prestigious honor, and Devers is the first Red Sox player to win the award at third base since Mike Lowell in 2007. Devers' award is a recognition of his hard work and dedication to improving his defense, and it is a testament to his status as one of the best all-around players in the game.

Devers' Gold Glove Award is a significant achievement for the Red Sox, who have now won at least one Gold Glove Award in each of the past 10 seasons. The award is also a source of pride for the Dominican Republic, as Devers is the first Dominican player to win a Gold Glove Award at third base.
