Yankees' Max Fried Named AL Gold Glove Finalist Despite Career-High Errors

New York Yankees lefty Max Fried has been named a finalist for the 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove Award for American League pitching. Fried, long recognized as one of baseball's premier fielding pitchers with three previous NL Gold Gloves from his time with the Atlanta Braves (2020-22), had a mixed defensive season in 2025. While he committed a career-high four errors, he also achieved career-best marks with 39 putouts, 10 defensive runs saved above average, and seven pickoffs. Fried was effective at limiting the running game, allowing only six stolen bases all season with runners caught stealing five times. The Gold Glove winners are scheduled to be announced on Sunday, November 2, at 8:30 p.m.
