Yadier Molina Reclaims Crown With Ninth Gold Glove

Already one of the most decorated defenders at the catching position in Major League history, Yadier Molina added a ninth Gold Glove award to his collection on Sunday by beating out fellow National League finalists Manny Pina and Buster Posey.
St. Louis Official Site

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.

defensive prowess and has been recognized again.
