Eaton was a center-field finalist for the Gold Glove in ’14 but didn’t receive the honor. He has primarily played right field in ’16, where he leads all Major League outfielders with 17 outfield assists. Eaton also leads the Majors with 23 defensive runs saved, per Fangraphs.
“I’ve been asked a lot about it. I’d be blessed,” said Eaton of possibly winning his first Gold Glove. “Anyone coming into the season wants to win a Gold Glove. Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to win a Gold Glove.
“I put myself in a good position to win it but I’ve seen crazier things and I’ll never be surprised when things like that happen. Like I said, hopefully I made an impression on whoever votes for it enough to win one.”
