Giants Catcher Patrick Bailey Poised for Second Consecutive Gold Glove Award

San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey is a Gold Glove Award finalist for the third time in as many years and is strongly favored to win his second straight, which would make franchise history. Bailey led all MLB players in Fielding Run Value with 31, significantly ahead of the next closest player. He also ranked as the game's best pitch-framer, with 25 Catcher Framing Runs, far surpassing his NL runner-up. Additionally, Bailey was among the league leaders in Caught Stealing Percentage and CS Above Average, nearly doubling the Defensive Runs Saved (19) of the next closest catcher and leading all NL position players. He is also a strong candidate for the Platinum Glove Award.
