Red Sox rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu is taking home some hardware after an impressive first full year in the big leagues.<\/p>\n

Abreu was announced as the winner of the Gold Glove award among American League right fielders Sunday night, beating out two other finalists in Juan Soto of the Yankees and Jo Adell of the Angels.<\/p>\n

This marks the first time a Red Sox rookie has won a Gold Glove since Fred Lynn in 1975. Carlton Fisk also took home a Gold Glove at catcher following his rookie campaign in 1972.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Abreu is also the first Red Sox right fielder to capture Gold Glove honors since Mookie Betts won the award in his final season with Boston in 2019.<\/p>\n

According to MLB.com\u2019s Ian Browne, Abreu is just the seventh rookie outfielder to win a Gold Glove in MLB history, joining Tommy Agee (1966), Lynn, Ichiro Suzuki (2001), Luis Robert (2020), Steven Kwan (2022) and Brenton Doyle (2023).<\/p>\n

Abreu was solid at the plate with the Sox in 2024, batting .253 with 15 homers, 33 doubles and a .781 OPS over 132 total games. But his greatest impact was in the field, where he led all A.L. right fielders with 17 defensive runs saved while adding nine assists.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Abreu was the only Red Sox player to win Gold Glove honors this season, with Jarren Duran \u2014 a finalist in center field \u2014 losing out to Toronto\u2019s Daulton Varsho. Across the rest of MLB, another former Sox player also won a Gold Glove, as Chris Sale took home the accolade among N.L. pitchers.<\/p>\n

Other major MLB awards \u2014 including MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and Manager of the Year \u2014 will be announced starting on Nov. 13.<\/p>\n
