Kike now finds himself in the utility section along with Brendan Donovan(Cardinals) and Jared Triolo(Pirates). With 108 appearances in the infield and 26 in the outfield in 2024, Kike has a shot at his first ever award in the majors since his debut in 2014 with the Houston Astros.

Hernandez has a 97% fielding percentage, which puts him above his running mates for the Gold Glove award. In comparison to the others Kike has made appearances in all positions except right-field and catcher this year. He even pitched four games this year allowing 6 hits in 4 ⅓ innings pitched.

Both finalists have good reason to secure their first individual awards in 2024, hopefully Dodger fans get to see a World Series win and some more hardware going to some key players in this year's success.
