Mariners Second Baseman Cole Young Earns First Career Gold Glove Award

Seattle Mariners second baseman Cole Young earned his first career Gold Glove Award following a standout defensive sophomore season. Young posted 17 Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), which led all American League second basemen and ranked eighth overall in Major League Baseball. Credit for his transformation went to an off-season conditioning overhaul and defensive refinement alongside former Mariners infield coach Perry Hill, helping Young establish himself as an elite defender.
