THIRD BASE
AL winner:Matt Chapman, OAK
Entering the 2018 season, Chapman had already earned a reputation as a strong defensive third baseman during his rookie campaign. But he took that to another level, leading all of baseball with 29 defensive runs saved and a plethora of highlight-reel plays. Chapman's jaw-dropping defensive wizardry makes him a prime candidate for the Platinum Glove Award, given to the most outstanding defensive player in the Majors, irrespective of position.

NL winner:Nolan Arenado, COL
Of all the Gold Glove Award winners, Arenado is probably the least surprising. He has won the award in all six seasons of his Major League career, extending his own Major League record for infielders as he continues to set the standard at the hot corner in the NL. Notably, Arenado and the AL winner, Chapman, were teammates at El Toro High School (Calif.), with Chapman backing up Arenado at shortstop.
