Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc., and ESPN announced tonight that Royals left fielder Alex Gordon and catcher Salvador Perez have been awarded with Rawlings Gold Gloves. This marks Gordon’s sixth overall Rawlings Gold Glove (2011-14, ’17-18) and Perez’s fifth in the last six seasons (2013-16, ’18).

The Royals are the only American League team with at least one Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner in each of the last eight seasons (since 2011). The awards were voted on by managers and coaches from the American and National Leagues and honor the best individual fielding performances at each position in both leagues.
