NL Gold Glove Winners, a Breakdown<\/h3>\n

First Base: Christian Walker, Diamondbacks<\/h4>\n

Christian Walker of the Arizona Diamondbacks is the NL Gold Glove first baseman for the second straight season. He led all first basemen in the majors with nine runs prevented and 11 outs above average. By comparison, the NL runners-up in these categories had three in each category. In addition, on balls hits to Walker\u2019s right, he made seven more outs than the average first baseman, nearly four times as many as the runner-up, who had two. Walker is one of two Diamondbacks first basemen ever to win a Gold Glove, along with Paul Goldschmidt<\/a><\/strong> (2013, 2015, 2017).<\/p>\n

Second Base: Nico Hoerner, Cubs<\/h4>\n
