Cody Bellinger has officially made MLB history, becoming the first player to win both a league MVP award and a Platinum Glove since the defensive honor was introduced in 2011. Bellinger originally won the National League MVP with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2019, when he hit .305 with 47 home runs, 115 RBIs, and a 1.035 OPS while also earning a Gold Glove. Seven years later, the New York Yankees outfielder added another historic achievement to his résumé by winning the 2026 American League Platinum Glove, awarded to the league’s top overall defensive player. Bellinger recorded 21 Defensive Runs Saved this season, tied for the third-most in baseball, while earning his second career Gold Glove. The Platinum Glove, determined through a combination of fan voting and advanced defensive metrics, further highlights Bellinger’s versatility and makes him the only player to have captured both of these prestigious individual honors. #mlb #baseball #offseason #codybellinger #goat
