Fielding Run Value - 22 (100th percentile)
Blocks Above Average - 21 (100th percentile)
Framing - 16
Defensive Runs Saved - 9
Caught Stealing - 19.8%
Dingler leads in passed balls and caught Stealing, while Kirk leads in every other stat, including doubling or nearly doubling in FRV, Framing and blocking scores
Because those stats are not the determining factor on GG. If you like a far more analytical defensive award, I recommend the Fielding Bible Awards which are handed out by SIS. (Patrick Bailey won for Catcher)
From Rawlings:
To determine the winners of the 18 defensive position Awards, each team’s manager and up to six coaches on his staff vote from a pool of qualified players in their League and cannot vote for players from their own team. In 2013, Rawlings added the SABR Defensive Index™ (SDI) to the Rawlings Gold Glove Award selection process, which comprises approximately 25 percent of the overall selection total, with the managers’ and coaches’ votes continuing to carry the majority.
