Pittsburgh’s Jared Triolo wins Rawlings Gold Glove Award for National League utility player

Pittsburgh’s Jared Triolo was named the winner of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award tonight for National League utility players.

The 26-year-old Triolo was Pittsburgh’s Opening Day starter at second base in 2024, where he accumulated a total of six Defensive Runs Saved in 374.2 innings at that position last season according to FanGraphs.

Triolo also recorded two Defensive Runs Saved in 527.0 innings as a third baseman in 2024 per FanGraphs.

Triolo saw action at a total of five different positions in 2024, making 61 appearances (60 starts) at third base, 47 appearances (42 starts) at second base, nine appearances (eight starts) at shortstop, nine appearances (four starts) at first base and one appearance in right field.

Triolo is the third National League player to take home a Rawlings Gold Glove since utility players began receiving the award in 2022.

A total of 21 different Pirates have now taken home a Rawlings Gold Glove since the award was first presented in 1958. This is also the first time since 2015-16 (Starling Marte) that a member of the Pirates has earned a Gold Glove in back-to-back years after Ke’Bryan Hayes did so in 2023.
