And his defense during the season on Tuesday earned him his second career Gold Glove Award as the National League’s top center fielder. He also won in the COVID-shortened 2020 season.The Gold Glove is determined by combining a vote of coaches and managers and metrics developed by the Society for American Baseball Research called the SABR Defensive Index.
As of Aug. 28, the last time the Defensive Index was made public, Grisham ranked second behind Washington’s Victor Robles. Grisham led NL center fielders in outs above average and was second with eight defensive runs saved. Grisham, who turned 26 on Tuesday, hit .184 this season, the lowest mark among 131 qualifying batters. His 28.6 percent strikeout rate was fifth highest among qualifiers. He homered three times in the postseason and batted .381 in the Padres’ first two playoff series before going hitless in 19 at-bats in the NLCS.
