Murphy is joined in the AL catchers’ race by Cal Raleigh of the division rival Seattle Mariners and Jose Trevino of the Yankees.
Sean Murphy, the defending American League Gold Glove catcher and one of few bright spots on a rebuilding A’s team this season, is in the running for a repeat defensive award after MLB announced the finalists at each position Thursday.
The A’s catcher logged 1,004 innings over 116 games behind the plate, both up from last year’s Glove-winning campaign. He ranked fifth in the AL in both pitch framing and strike rate, per MLB’s Baseball Savant, but was second in MLB in pitches caught at 3,269, showing just how much the A’s relied on him. His caught-stealing percentage ranked ninth in MLB.
Three former A’s are finalists: Braves first baseman Matt Olson, Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman and Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien.
