In 2020\u2019s shortened season, only one player achieved \u201cHeavy Metal\u201d status, Dodgers\u2019 rightfielder Mookie Betts. It was only the second time in Silver Slugger\/Gold Glove history that only one MLB player earned both recognitions in the same campaign.\u00a0 (The first was Dodgers’ first baseman Adrian Gonzalez n 2014.<\/em>) In the 2019 season four players earned Gold Glove and Silver Slugger recognition: Betts in right field for the Red Sox; Phillies\u2019 catcher J.T. Realmuto; Dodgers\u2019 RF Cody Bellinger; and Diamondbacks\u2019 pitcher Zack Greinke.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at Mookie Betts\u2019 2020 Heavy Metal Season.<\/p>\n Mookie Betts, RF, Los Angeles Dodgers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n On defense, he topped\u00a0 NL right fielders in putouts (113) and Defensive Runs Saved (11); leading in the range and positioning components of DRS among right fielders. \u00a0Betts also won the 2020 Fielding Bible Award for right fielders. It was Betts’ fifth consecutive Gold Glove and fourth Fielding Bible Award (the Awards were established in 2006), the most won by any rightfielder.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Change of Venue?\u00a0 No Problem.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In. 2020 Mookie Betts joined Adrian Gonzalez (1B) and Matt Williams (3B) as the only players to capture a SS\/GG single-season combination in both the AL and NL.\u00a0 Betts accomplished the feat with the Red Sox in 2016-18-19 and, of course, with the Dodgers in 2020. Gonzalez achieved the combination with the Red Sox in 2011 and the Dodgers in 2014.\u00a0 Williams did it with the \u00a0Indians in 1997 and \u00a0Giants in 1993-94.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n –A FEW ADDITIONAL BITS OF SAME-SEASON SILVER SLUGGER AND GOLD GLOVER TRIVIA–<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Zack Greinke (2019 Diamondbacks\/Astros) and Mike Hampton (2003 Braves) are the only pitchers to win a Silver Slugger and Gold Glove in the same season.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n __________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Now that we\u2019ve looked at 2020\u2019s \u201cHeavy Metal Doubleheader\u201d winner, here\u2019s a look back at those who have won both awards in the same season in the past.\u00a0 Since 1980, the combination of a Gold Glove\/Silver Slugger has been achieved in a season 195 times by 104 different players – with 39 players accomplishing the feat more than once and 26 of those winning two or more consecutive SS\/GG combinations.\u00a0 \u00a0Here are a couple of lists that might be of interest.\u00a0 (Note: Since the Silver Slugger is awarded to three outfielders annually regardless of their position, the GG\/SS combo lists in this post do not break outfielders out by position.)<\/em><\/p>\n —Full List of Same-Year Gold Glove\/Silver Slugger Winners by Season—<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n Mookie Betts,RF, Dodgers<\/p>\n 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n J.T.
