List of Gold Glove Award winners at second base

The Rawlings Gold Glove Award, usually referred to as the Gold Glove, is the award given annually to the Major League Baseball players judged to have exhibited superior individual fielding performances at each fielding position in both the National League (NL) and the American League (AL), as voted by the managers and coaches in each league.^[1] Managers are not permitted to vote for their own players.^[1] Eighteen Gold Gloves are awarded each year (with the exception of 1957, 1985 and 2007), one at each of the nine positions in each league. In 1957, the baseball glove manufacturer Rawlings created the Gold Glove Award to commemorate the best fielding performance at each position.^[2] The award was created from a glove made from gold lamé-tanned leather and affixed to a walnut base.^[3] Initially, only one Gold Glove per position was awarded to the top fielder at each position in the entire league;^[2] however, separate awards were given for the National and American Leagues beginning in 1958.^[4][5]

Roberto Alomar leads second basemen in wins; he won 10 Gold Gloves in 11 years with 3 different American League teams.^[6] Ryne Sandberg has the second-highest total overall; his nine awards, all won with the Chicago Cubs, are the most by a National League player.^[7] Bill Mazeroski and Frank White are tied for the third-highest total, with eight wins.^[8][9] Mazeroski's were won with the Pittsburgh Pirates,^[8] and White won his with the Kansas City Royals.^[9] Joe Morgan and Bobby Richardson each won five Gold Glove Awards,^[10][11] and four-time winners include Craig Biggio (who won after converting to second base from catcher), Bret Boone, and Bobby Grich.^[12][13][14] Hall of Famers who won Gold Gloves at second base include Sandberg, Mazeroski, Morgan, and Nellie Fox.^{[7][8][10][15]}

Only one winning second baseman has had an errorless season; Plácido Polanco set a record among winners by becoming the first to post a season with no errors and, therefore, a 1.000 fielding percentage.^[16] The best mark in the National League was set by Sandberg in 1991, his final winning season. He committed four errors and amassed a .995 fielding percentage.^[7] Grich has made the most putouts in a season, with 484 in 1974.^[14] Fox made 453 putouts and the same number of assists in the award's inaugural season; this is more putouts than any National League player has achieved.^[15] Morgan set the National League mark, with 417 in 1973.^[10] Sandberg's 571 assists in 1983 are the most among winners in the major leagues;^[7] the American League leader is Grich, who made 509 in 1973.^[14] Mazeroski turned the most double plays by a winner, collecting 161 in 1966.^[8] The American League leader is Fox (141 double plays in 1957).^[15]
