Happ won for the fourth consecutive year in left field, and it was the second Gold Glove for Hoerner at second base.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFour straight\u2019s pretty special,\u201d Happ said. \u201cWe had an unbelievable defensive team this year. Just all around, I think we built off each other and kind of fed off each other and the energy, and it was a real source of pride amongst the group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hoerner also won in 2023. He was slowed at the beginning of this season as he made his way back from right flexor tendon surgery on Oct. 11, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo have an injury that directly impacts your defense and still win this award, yeah, it feels really good,\u201d Hoerner said.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City, Boston and San Francisco each had two winners.
