He led all third basemen in the MLB this past year with 21 defensive runs saved, according to the Pirates, citing both Fielding Bible and FanGraphs.

"You guys know how I feel about him and how I feel about him winning a Gold Glove," Pirates manager Derek Shelton said earlier this year, according to the Post-Gazette.

Hayes' 21 defensive runs saved rank him 4th in all of Major League Baseball, regardless of position.
