How are Gold Glove winners chosen?
Rawlings says each manager and up to six coaches on his staff vote from a pool of qualified players in their league, and they cannot vote for their own team. MLB.com says those votes make up 75% of the selection total, and the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) Defensive Index (SDI) counts for the other 25%. Utility uses a separate formula based on SABR’s work, per Rawlings. The award dates to 1957, per Rawlings.
When does Platinum Glove voting open and close?
The Rawlings Platinum Glove Award is presented by SABR. Fan voting begins online at Rawlings.com at 9:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 1, an hour after the Gold Glove show starts, and stays open until 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, Nov. 5. Rawlings says a combination of the national fan vote and the SDI decides who takes the honor. The Platinum Glove winners are unveiled at the Rawlings Gold Glove Award Ceremony in New York City on Friday, Nov. 6.
Which MLB awards come after the Gold Gloves?
MLB.com’s awards guide (Oct. 26, 2026) gives these dates. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) votes on the first four.
| Date | Award |
|---|---|
| Mon., Nov. 9 | BBWAA Rookie of the Year |

| Wed., Nov. 11 | BBWAA Cy Young |
