Stott, who moved to second base full time this season after the Phillies signed Trea Turner to play shortstop, accumulated 16 outs above average, which ranked seventh in baseball among all players regardless of position. He is joined as a second base finalist by the Cubs’ Nico Hoerner and the Padres’ Ha-Seong Kim.
Realmuto won the NL Gold Glove at catcher last season, the second of his career. The Diamondbacks’ Gabriel Moreno and the Giants’ Patrick Bailey are the other two finalists at catcher.
Wheeler or Walker would be the first Phillies pitcher to win a Gold Glove since Steve Carlton in 1981. Marlins left-hander Jesús Luzardo is the other finalist at pitcher.
