00:04Two Atlanta Braves players have been named finalists for the 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards.
00:11Matt Olsen received another finalist nod, while Nick Allen earned his first career nomination.
00:17Olsen has a chance to win the third Gold Glove of his career and is first with the Braves,
00:22having previously won in 2018 and 2019 with Oakland and been a finalist last season.
00:27A Braves' first baseman hasn't won since Freddie Freeman in 2018?
00:32Olsen played all 162 games at first base and designated hitter,
00:37posting a .996 fielding percentage with just five errors.
00:41He led all MLB first basemen with 17 defensive runs saved,
00:45ahead of Spencer Steer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
00:48Offensively, he slashed .272.850 with 29 home runs, 95 RBIs, and an NL-best 41 doubles.
00:55While Nick Allen's bat was inconsistent, his glove excelled.
01:00With a .988 fielding percentage and 12 defensive runs saved,
01:04he ranked second among National League shortstops behind Mookie Betts.
01:08Allen's elite range maintained his defensive impact off the bench.
01:12If he wins, he'd be the first Braves shortstop since Dansby Swanson in 2022.
01:17According to MLB.com, Gold Glove winners are decided 75% by votes from 30 managers
01:24and up to six coaches per team, and 25% by the Sabre Defensive Index.
