The Baltimore Orioles lead all major league teams with three players winning a Gold Glove, as catcher Matt Wieters, shortstop J.J. Hardy and center fielder Adam Jones were each awarded the honor by baseball's managers and coaches.
Jones' victory, his second, may be the most controversial as he got the nod over Los Angeles Angels rookie phenom Mike Trout, who finished second. The Rookie of the Year favorite became a sensation for the underachieving Angels with numerous highlight reel catches in center field.
The AL East champion New York Yankees were the only other team with multiple Gold Glove winners as second baseman Robinson Cano and first baseman Mark Teixeira each took home hardware for the right side of the infield. Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre rounded out the AL infield, along with Hardy, who won his first Gold Glove.
Joining Jones in the outfield is two-time winner of the Kansas City Royals for his work in left field and Oakland Athletics right fielder Josh Reddick, who played for the surprising A's in his first year since being traded by the Boston Red Sox. Chicago White Sox ace Jake Peavy and Tampa Bay Rays righty Jeremy Hellickson share the honor among AL pitchers.
This was only the third time since the Gold Gloves were first presented in 1957 that there was a tie -- there were four NL outfielders in 2007 and four AL outfielders in 1985.
Reddick and Hardy were the only first-time winners on the AL team while the National League sported seven players picking up their first Gold Glove.
Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen took home his first Gold Glove and was joined in the outfield by Carlos Gonzalez of the Colorado Rockies (left field) and Atlanta Braves cornerstone Jason Heyward (right field).
It was a 100-loss season for the Chicago Cubs but the faithful at the friendly confines can enjoy second baseman Darwin Barney's first Gold Glove. The other NL infield winners were Washington Nationals first baseman, Adam LaRoche, San Diego Padres third baseman, Chase Headley and Philadelphia Phillies shortstop, Jimmy Rollins. Yadier Molina of the St. Louis Cardinals took home the honor at catcher while right-hander Mark Buehrle, a perennial Gold Glove winner while in the AL, won it in his first year with the Miami Marlins.
