Major League Baseball announced the winners of the 2015 Gold Glove awards today, and the list was headlined by three members of the Kansas City Royals.
Both leagues were represented by bright young stars of the game of baseball, and if list of winners is any indicator, the league is in good hands going forward.
Here are the list of winners courtesy of CBS Sports:

This list is certainly not lacking any star power, and most of the faces on this list are pretty young. I am curious to see who will take home the MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year honors, as they are sure to be close and each finalist is more than deserving.
