NEW YORK, New York (USA) - On October 29, Dutch players Xander Bogaerts, Didi Gregorius and Andrelton Simmons were all announced as finalists for this years Rawlings Gold Glove Awards. All three are playing at the short stop-position for their respective teams Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves.

Tonight (Tuesday, November 10), the winners were announced by Major League Baseball. For each defensive position, three players were named.

In the American League, Xander Bogaerts and Didi Gregorius were both finalist for the Short Stop Gold Glove Award. The third finalist was Alcides Escobar of the Kansas City Royals and he won his first Gold Glove.

In the National League, Andrelton Simmons was a finalist for the same position. Also nominated were Brandon Crawford (San Francisco Giants) and Adeiny Hechavarria (Miami Marlins). Simmons won the Award in the past two seasons, but this year, the Award went to Crawford, who also won his first Gold Glove.

75 percent of the voting for the best defensive players came from the Managers and Coaches. They could only vote for players within their own league and were unable to vote for players from their own team. The remaining 25 percent of the votes came from statistics.
