Trea Turner Snubbed from Gold Glove Finalists Despite Strong Defensive Season

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner was notably absent from the 2025 Gold Glove finalists despite a significant defensive improvement. After struggling in his first two seasons in Philadelphia with a combined -9 Outs Above Average (OAA), Turner emerged as one of baseball's best shortstops in 2025. He ranked fourth overall at the position in OAA with 17, and third in the National League, showcasing his most consistent defense since joining the Phillies. Despite these strong metrics, he did not receive a finalist nod.
