Japanese MLB Gold Glove Winners
A list of Japanese MLB Gold Glove recipients and what set their defense apart.
The Gold Glove is the top defensive honor at each position. Ichiro has won it 10 times among Japanese players.
Ichiro won as a right fielder, celebrated for his arm strength and quick throws to first.
Some pitchers have won in specific years, but the count is smaller than outfielders.
With DRS and UZR expanding, future awards should be judged more objectively.
