The Fielding Bible announced the winners of their awards today.
Daulton Varsho was named the Defensive Player of the Year. Well earned. They said:
Daulton Varsho is our second annual Defensive Player of the Year. Varsho led all players with 28 Defensive Runs Saved. Varsho’s defensive dominance extends beyond this past season. He leads all players in Defensive Runs Saved over the last three seasons combined.
“Daulton Varsho is a highly deserving winner of Defensive Player of the Year,” said SIS editorial operations lead, Mark Simon. “He played with an incredible effort level and a determination to make every play he possibly could. He had a fantastic season and this is one of his rewards for it.”
Said Blue Jays manager John Schneider: “Daulton never ceases to amaze us. We are really spoiled with him out there. Guys love playing with him because he makes tough plays look routine and makes everyone around him better. It feels like he makes game-changing plays and picks us up every single night. We’ve been saying he’s the best defender in baseball for the last two years, and I’m glad he’s starting to get the proper recognition for it.”
Daulton was also their Multi Positional Player of the Year.
Congratulations Daulton.
The Fielding Bible does a better job than the Gold Glove voters.
