AutoDraft Pro AI

San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb has earned his first career National League Gold Glove Award for pitchers. Webb's win comes after significant improvements in holding runners and fielding ground balls, leading to a career-best season defensively with just one error in 207 innings and ranking among league leaders in Defensive Runs Saved (DRS). He credited former manager Bob Melvin and coaches for his development. Webb also highlighted the strong defensive performance of his catcher, Patrick Bailey, who won his second consecutive Gold Glove. Webb and Bailey are the first battery mates to win Gold Gloves since Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina in 2013.
