To have two Gold Glove candidates was a coup for the Cardinals because in 2018 they had the most errors (133) in the majors, by 12, and also the lowest fielding percentage, .978. Eight-time winner Yadier Molina was a candidate at catcher and second baseman Kolten Wong was a first-time aspirant.
Post-Dispatch
The Cardinals have a rich history of Rawlings Gold Glove winners since the award was started in 1957. Ozzie Smith (13), Bob Gibson (nine), Curt Flood (seven) Bill White (six), Ken Boyer (five), Jim Edmonds (five) and Keith Hernandez (five) all have won a handful as Cardinals. Now, Hall of Famer Gibson has company at nine as catcher Yadier Molina, who made his ninth National League All-Star team this season, also has won his ninth Gold Glove.
