San Diego right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr., St. Louis shortstop Macin Wynn, third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes and Miami reliever Javier Sanoja also won in the National League. This is the second Gold Glove for Tatis and Hayes, who were traded from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati on July 30.

For this award, Semyon received a bonus of $100,000. Kwan and Witt each received $50,000, while Hayes received a $25,000 bonus.

Voting was carried out among managers and up to six coaches from each team, who cannot select players for their club. Since 2013, voting has been counted using the Society of American Baseball Research's defensive index, which accounts for about 25% of the total.

The utility category is based on the SABR formula and additional defensive statistics.
