Gold Glove: D.J. LeMahieu, 2B.
You could place fellow teammate Nolan Arenado here in which he should be, but D.J. LeMahieu played fantastic this season for the Rockies at second base. In 676 total chances, LeMahieu committed just six errors in 144 games played — Glove Glove worthy.
To go along with his defensive stats, LeMahieu collected a fielding percentage of .991, which ranks him fourth in the entire MLB behind Dustin Pedroia (.997), Brandon Phillips (.996), and Neil Walker (.992).
LeMahieu’s bat is what you would call average. The 6-foot-4, 205 pound LeMahieu would hit .267 on the season with 15 doubles, 5 triples, 5 home runs, and 42 RBI’s mainly from the eight spot in the order. All-in-all, it was a pretty good season for LeMahieu both offensively and for sure defensively.
