For Hayes, he becomes the first Pirates’ third baseman in franchise history to be awarded a Gold Glove. Hayes led all third basemen across the league this season with 21 Defensive Runs Saved according to the Fielding Bible and was fourth in DRS regardless of position. He trailed only Daulton Varsho (29 – Blue Jays), Fernando Tatis Jr. (27 – Padres) and Andres Gimenez (23 – Guardians).
