GOLDEN: Masyn Winn's ELITE Defense Earns The St. Louis Cardinals Their 100th Gold Glove Honor

Masyn Winn makes St. Louis Cardinals history, becoming the youngest Gold Glove winner in franchise history at just 23 years old. The Cardinals shortstop posted elite defensive numbers—plus 21 outs above average and only three errors in 501 chances—matching legendary totals from Cal Ripken Jr. and Omar Vizquel while surpassing even Ozzie Smith's records.

JD Hafron breaks down Winn's defensive philosophy centered on fundamentals and relentless repetition, revealing why the young star believes this is just the first of many Gold Gloves. The discussion covers Victor Scott II's center field nomination, Pete Crow Armstrong's dominant win for the Cubs, and a complete review of all 2025 Gold Glove winners across both leagues. Plus, Cardinals catching prospect Leonardo Bernal captures a minor league Gold Glove, highlighting the organization's defensive depth at the position.

Discover why Winn's approach to defense could reshape the Cardinals' infield for years to come and what this historic achievement means for St. Louis's defensive future.
