According to MLB, coaches and managers constitute 75% of the selection process, with the remaining 25% coming from sabermetrics – the term used in baseball that quantifies players’ performances based on statistics.

The 2024 Gold Glove Award winners will be announced during a special-edition "Baseball Tonight" broadcast on ESPN on Nov. 3 at 5:30 p.m. PT.
