Marcus Semien Wins 2025 AL Gold Glove

Marcus Semien won the 2025 American League Rawlings Gold Glove at second base — his second career Gold Glove and his first as a Texas Ranger. He was the lone Rangers winner among five Rangers finalists as the 2025 Texas Rangers set an MLB single-season team fielding percentage record (.991). Semien posted a .996 fielding percentage with two errors in 493 chances, led AL second basemen with +7 OAA and 5 defensive runs saved, and his season was cut short by a left-foot injury that limited him to 127 games. Offensively he hit .230 with 15 home runs and 62 RBIs, and he remains on a seven-year, $175 million contract entering its fifth season in 2026. The award highlights a defensive turnaround after early-career struggles that Semien credits in part to coach Ron Washington and a move from shortstop to second base.
