Masyn Winn may not have played a full season, but it was a phenomenal season that ends with him winning a prestigious award.
It was announced on Sunday that Winn is the recipient of the 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove Award for shortstop (National League)
MLB.com’s John Denton pointed out that Winn actually is now the youngest winner of a Gold Glove Award in Cardinals history.
“Winn took the first step in possibly accomplishing that feat on Sunday when he captured his first Gold Glove Award and became the youngest winner of the award in the rich history of the Cardinals,” Denton said. “At 23 years, 191 days at season’s end, Winn is the franchise’s youngest Gold Glove winner, edging out third baseman Ken Reitz (24 years, 96 days) in 1975, per Elias Sports. Also, Winn is the fifth-youngest shortstop to win the award behind Anthony Volpe (2023), Alan Trammell (1980), Francisco Lindor (2016) and Ezequiel Tovar (2024).”
Winn is the 100th player in team history to win the award. This is actually the most in the league since 1957, per Denton.
He led all National League shortstops with 21 outs above average. It was second overall among MLB shortstops to only Kansas City Royals All-Star Bobby Witt Jr. (24). He also hit 9 home runs and 51 RBI’s to go with a .253 average. But defensively was where he truly shined. In 369 defensive innings, Winn notched a .994 fielding percentage, took part in 64 double plays, and had 163 putouts. Hi +21 OAA was tied for third among all position players this past season as well.
On top of all of that? He had only three errors ALL SEASON.
Winn has firmly established himself as a future cornerstone of the St. Louis Cardinals franchise. A fan favorite, the young shortstop has even brighter days ahead!
