Max Fried Secures Fourth Gold Glove, Leads Yankees Pitchers in Defensive Runs Saved

New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried has been awarded his fourth career Gold Glove, marking his second consecutive win in the American League. The left-handed ace led all MLB pitchers in defensive runs saved (DRS) in 2025, finishing with a .925 fielding percentage. Despite committing a career-worst four errors, Fried recorded 39 putouts and seven pickoffs, both career highs, while allowing only six stolen bases. This accolade follows his recognition with the 2025 Sports Info Fielding Bible Award for best defensive pitcher and adds to his impressive season where he also led the league with 19 wins and posted a 2.86 ERA with a career-high 189 strikeouts. Fried previously won three consecutive Gold Gloves with the Atlanta Braves from 2020-2022.
