Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, left fielder Ian Happ and second baseman Nico Hoerner won a Gold Glove Award.
Left-hander Matthew Boyd, third baseman Matt Shaw and catcher Carson Kelly were also Gold Glove Award finalists.
The Cubs had the most awards of any MLB team this season and joined the San Francisco Giants as the only NL teams with multiple winners. Their 37 Outs Above Average (OAA) led MLB and were second (41) to the Toronto Blue Jays (45) in Fielding Run Value.
“We had an unbelievable defensive team this year, just all around, I think we built off each other and kind of fed off each other in the energy and it was a real source of pride amongst the group,” Happ said Sunday.
