The Atlanta Braves had two players honored with Gold Glove awards on Sunday, recognizing their defensive excellence during the 2026 Major League Baseball season. The Rawlings Gold Glove Award is presented annually to the best defensive players at each position in both the American and National Leagues.
While the specific players were not immediately identified in initial reports, the Braves' dual recognition highlights the team's defensive strength across multiple positions. Gold Glove winners are selected based on a combination of statistical metrics and votes from managers and coaches.
The awards continue a tradition of defensive recognition in MLB that dates back to 1957. Braves players have historically featured among Gold Glove recipients, with the franchise boasting numerous winners across its history in both Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta eras.
