Cubs dominate defense and Tatis Jr. leads Latino pride

The Chicago Cubs won the most Gold Gloves this year thanks to Pete Crow-Armstrong, Ian Happ, and Nico Hoerner, three key players in the team's defensive performance. It was Crow-Armstrong's first award, Happ earned his fourth consecutive one, and Hoerner won his second.

“Four in a row is something very special,” Happ said after the announcement. “We had an incredible defensive team this year. Overall, I think we supported each other, we fed off each other's energy, and it was a real source of pride for the group.” Meanwhile, Tatis Jr. was once again recognized as the best right fielder in the National League. The Dominican was key to the San Diego Padres' season, solidifying his reputation as one of the most athletic and versatile players in the league.Venezuelan Wilyer Abreu repeated his award with the Boston Red Sox, while Honduran Mauricio Dubon (Astros) and Javier Sanoja (Marlins) joined the select group of winners. Among the interesting facts, Bobby Witt Jr. and Maikel Garcia of the Royals became the first shortstop-third baseman duo from the same team to win Gold Gloves since JJ Hardy and Manny Machado with the Orioles in 2013.
