Seattle Mariners center fielder Julio Rodríguez is a finalist to win a Gold Glove for the first time in his career, but one of his teammates is a curious snub.

The three finalists for the Gold Glove at each position in both the American League and National League were announced Wednesday morning, with Rodríguez the lone Mariners player on the list.

Mariners superstar Cal Raleigh, who not only was the 2024 AL Gold Glove winner at catcher but also won the AL Platinum Glove as the best defender regardless of position, is not a finalist for a 2025 Gold Glove.

The two other finalists for the AL Gold Glove in center field along with Rodríguez are Kyle Isbel of the Kansas City Royals and Ceddanne Rafaela of the Boston Red Sox.

Rodríguez started 158 of the Mariners’ 162 games in center field during the regular season. He made 431 putouts on 441 total chances over 1,406.1 innings with six assists, two double plays and four errors.

With a fielding run value of 10 (per Statcast), Rodríguez was tied with Isbel for second among AL center fielders. Rafaela was first with 22. Rodríguez’s range value of 9 was third among the three AL finalists, with Rafaela tops in MLB at 20 and Isbel coming in at 11.

The three AL finalists at catcher are Alejandro Kirk of the Toronto Blue Jays, Carlos Narváez of the Red Sox and Dillon Dingler of the Detroit Tigers.

Raleigh did not have a single passed ball during the regular season and finished with a fielding run value of 7. Kirk had a fielding run value of 22, while Narváez and Dingler both checked in at 12.

With Raleigh as their primary catcher, the Mariners’ pitching staff finished the 2025 regular season sixth in the American League with a 3.87 ERA. The Red Sox were third at 3.70, while the Tigers (3.95) were ninth and Blue Jays (4.19) were 10th. Seattle was second in the AL in WHIP (1.22), ahead of each of the Red Sox, Tigers and Blue Jays, and tied with four teams including Detroit and Toronto for sixth in opponent batting average (.241). Boston was 10th (.243).
