Matt Chapman, Patrick Bailey and Mike Yastrzemski have all been nominated for Gold Gloves at their positions. Chapman and Bailey look like favorites at their respective positions, and Yaz has a puncher's chance.

Chapman is first in the NL in total zone runs (15) and double plays (34) for third basemen. Also first in errors, but 5th in fielding percentage. He gets to a lot of balls, 3rd in assists and putouts as well, 2nd in games as 3B. He was first among NL 3Bs with 17 defensive runs saved, 7 more than #2 Ryan McMahon, was tied for first in Outs Above Average and Fielding Run Value.. It would be his fifth GG, first in the NL.

Bailey is the best pitch-framing catcher in the NL. Easily led MLB in Fielding Run Value, tied for 2nd in Defensive Runs Saved. According to FanGraphs, he was the most impactful defensive player in all of baseball. He's 2nd in assists, double plays and caught stealing, 3rd in fielding %, 4th in caught stealing percentage and total zone runs, 5th in putouts. And, like Chapman, first in errors at his position, also 2nd in passed balls. 

Yaz is a finalist for the second time, but has a chance. Longtime winners Mookie Betts played mostly infield, and 2023 winner Fernando Tatis had a lot of injuries. Yaz had the 2nd most games in RF, 4th most putouts, 4th most assists and 3rd best fielding percentage as an RF. 4th most errors as an RF, too. He also had the third most triples in the NL. Not bad for a 33 year old. Frelick has the best metrics, and is probably the favorite.

Can you name the last time the Giants had three gold glove winners, and name the players?

2015. Crawford.  Posey. Panik.

All three names correct, year was 2016, which was the year that Panik and Posey won their sole gold gloves. Crawford won four through his career.

Nice guys!  I was thinking through some of the early 2000s teams so clearly way offbase (I'd forgotten Panik's gold glove).  Further back, did any of the Robbie Thompson teams get three gold gloves?

==========

I needed a break so googled a bit to answer my own question and yes, the Giants did earn three Gold Gloves in 1994 - Robbie Thompson (2B), Matt Williams (3B), and Barry Bonds (OF). It looks like this was the only other year the Giants accomplished this feat although there are several more years with two gold gloves.

Here's a link although the site is annoying and double lists several winners (ex BB is double listed for 2000 and JT Snow for 2002).
