Despite being one of the best defensive center fielders in baseball throughout his career, Jackie Bradley Jr. only has one Gold Glove to his name.
Not only was Bradley snubbed again in 2020, he wasn't even named a Gold Glove finalist. Byron Buxton (Twins), Ramon Laureano (Athletics) and Luis Robert (White Sox) earned the center field nominations in the American League.

He has a fair gripe. The 30-year-old made Red Sox games watchable this season with several highlight-reel catches, such as the ones below.
Bradley is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
