SF Giants’ rookie catcher named finalist for Gold Glove

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:24:39 GMT

As soon as he was called up, almost two months into the season, Patrick Bailey showed why evaluators expect him to one day fill his mantle with Gold Glove trophies. He turned balls into strikes, nabbed about as many would-be base stealers as he had arm angles and even ended a game with his arm — not once, but twice.It didn’t take long for it to become apparent that Bailey, with only 28 games above A-ball under his belt, was already among the game’s elite defenders.On Wednesday, the 24-year-old rookie was announced as one of three finalists for the National League Gold Glove. His competition for the award, the Phillies’ J.T. Realmuto and Diamondbacks’ Gabriel Moreno, another rookie, are currently facing off in the NLCS.If Bailey wins — results announced Nov. 5 — it would be historic. No Giants rookie at any position has ever won the Gold Glove, and it has been awarded to only two NL rookie catchers, Johnny Bench in 1968 and, most recently, Charles Johnson in 1...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gender-affirming surgery and other care for minors would be banned in Wisconsin under a Republican-sponsored bill that won final approval in the GOP-controlled Legislature on Tuesday.Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has vowed to veto the measure that drew dozens of people in opposition to a hearing at the Capitol earlier this month.
