The Toronto Blue Jays are known for their power at the plate, but in 2023, their defense stole the spotlight! In a season full of jaw-dropping plays and highlight-reel moments, two of the Blue Jays’ standout defenders have earned the ultimate recognition—being named Gold Glove finalists!
Veteran outfielder Kevin Kiermaier, a three-time Gold Glove winner, put on a defensive masterclass in center field. With his lightning-fast reflexes and uncanny ability to track down seemingly unreachable balls, Kiermaier proved once again why he’s one of the best outfielders in the game. Whether diving headfirst into the gap or making over-the-shoulder catches at the wall, Kiermaier’s defensive heroics have kept fans on the edge of their seats all season long!
But that’s not all. José Berríos, Toronto’s star pitcher, has also emerged as a Gold Glove finalist for his incredible fielding on the mound. Pitchers aren’t just about fastballs and curveballs—Berríos showcased his quick reactions and slick glove work, consistently making plays that left opponents shaking their heads.
Both Kiermaier and Berríos have played pivotal roles in solidifying the Blue Jays’ defense as one of the best in the league, and now they’re on the brink of adding more hardware to their impressive careers. Will they take home the coveted Gold Glove awards and cement their legacies in Toronto?
