Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang Lead Brewers with 2026 Gold Glove Wins

Following a historic 2026 MLB season, the Milwaukee Brewers have another reason to celebrate. Brewers stars Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang have been named winners of the 2026 National League Gold Glove Awards. This honor recognizes their outstanding defensive performance throughout the season.

The announcement comes just four days after Milwaukee secured its first-ever World Series championship. Both players were the only finalists from the Brewers, and by converting their nominations into wins, they have brought the team two defensive honors in a single season.

Brice Turang Wins His Second Gold Glove Award

Brice Turang continues to establish himself as one of the premier defensive second basemen in Major League Baseball. The 26-year-old has earned his second career Gold Glove Award at second base; he previously received this honor in 2024.

Turang delivered another stellar defensive performance in 2026. He recorded 23 'Defensive Runs Saved' (DRS), placing him among the top defenders in the Major Leagues. Additionally, he achieved 19 'Outs Above Average' (OAA)—a statistic that highlights his exceptional range, elite positioning, and ability to make plays in challenging situations.

With this achievement, Turang becomes the third player in the history of the Brewers to win more than one Gold Glove Award, joining Cecil Cooper and George Scott. Furthermore, he stands as the only second baseman in the history of the Milwaukee Brewers to receive this prestigious honor.

Jackson Chourio Wins the First 'Gold Glove' of His Career

Jackson Chourio has achieved another major milestone early in his MLB career by winning his first 'Gold Glove' award as a left fielder. The 22-year-old outfielder delivered an outstanding defensive season, establishing himself as one of the top defenders in the National League.

During the 2026 season, Chourio led all National League left fielders with 13 'Defensive Runs Saved.' He committed zero errors throughout the entire season, a testament to the significant improvement in his defensive capabilities.

His eight 'outfield assists' were another highlight of the season, showcasing his strong throwing arm and his ability to prevent opposing runners from taking extra bases.

Chourio becomes the fifth outfielder in Brewers history to win a 'Gold Glove' award, joining Sal Frelick (2024), Lorenzo Cain (2019), Carlos Gómez (2013), and Sixto Lezcano (1979).

A Historic Season for the Milwaukee Brewers

The 2026 season has been a memorable one for the Milwaukee Brewers. The team has won its first-ever World Series championship, and now, two of its players are being recognized among the best defensive players in the National League.

Turang and Chourio played a pivotal role in this remarkable success for Milwaukee. Throughout the season, they bolstered the team with their defensive prowess and outstanding performance.

Winning two 'Gold Glove Awards' in a single season marks another major achievement for the team. This is the third time in the history of the Brewers that two of their players have received this honor in the same year.
