Colton Cowser and Ryan Mountcastle missed out on the American League Gold Glove Awards, with Steven Kwan and Carlos Santana taking home the honors in left field and first base, respectively. Cowser's impressive defensive metrics were overshadowed by Kwan's established reputation, while Mountcastle's strong performance was not enough to secure the award.

Despite the disappointment, Cowser remains a contender for the AL Rookie of the Year Award later this offseason. The selection process for the Gold Gloves involves a mix of managerial votes and advanced metrics.
