The platinum glove award is given to the best defender, regardless of position, in each league. Cal Raleigh, catcher for the Seattle Mariners, won the platinum glove in the American League.
Brice Turang comments on winning the National League’s platinum glove award
After the platinum glove award winners were announced on Friday evening, Brice Turang commented on being the winning recipient. His response was everything that reflected the 2024 Brewers squad. He mentioned doing all the little things correct and doing everything possible to help his team win.
“The first step really matters. The distance you cover. How many plays you make that are routine compared to other guys. Stuff like that matters, but the main thing is winning. If I can help my team win, I’ll do it any way possible. That’s what really matters.”
