Hunter Renfroe Named Finalist For Gold Glove Award
BOSTON (CBS) -- Hunter Renfroe had one of the most lethal outfield arms in all of baseball in 2021. He may end up earning some hardware for it.
The Red Sox' right fiedler was named as one of the three finalists for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award in right field.
Kyle Tucker of the Astros and Joey Gallo of the Rangers and Yankees are the other finalists. Gallo took home the award last year.

Renfroe was tied for the MLB lead in outfield assists with 16 this season, his first in Boston. Renfroe, however, also led all MLB outfielders in errors, with 12, three more than any other outfielder.
