Milwaukee Breweries: Brice Turang and Sal Frelick become second couple in franchise history to win Gold Glove Awards

For the second time in franchise history, the Milwaukee Brewers can boast multiple Gold Glove winners in a single season, similar to Brice Turang and Sal Frelick in 2024. The only such case occurred in 1979, when Cecil Cooper and Sixto Lezcano won in their positions.

Defeating Ketel Marte and Bryson Stott First-ever Brewers gold glove award at second base was Brice Turang. ESPN pointed out that Turang’s ability to make plays to the right side while maintaining arm strength or jump shot ability separates him from the pack.

Sal Frelick was praised for showing his ability to “run through the wall” for catches while also leading National League right fielders in defensive runs saved (DRS). When asked about winning the award, Sal Frelick said he didn’t actually start playing on the field until he turned pro, and the last few years had been about honing his route-running skills.

Blake Perkins was not the 2024 Gold Glove Award winner

A total of three brewers were Golden Gloves finalists this year, with Blake Perkins being the only man not to win. The center fielder led the National League in home runs, but ultimately lost to Brenton Doyle. Doyle won a Gold Glove a season ago during his rookie season, and now has back-to-back Gold Gloves under his belt.

MLB awards season will run throughout November. Manager of the Year, Executive of the Year, Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year and others will be announced later.
