Below we show the final point tally for The Fielding Bible Awards in the 2022 season. We asked a
panel of experts to complete a 10-man ballot ranking players from 1 to 10 based on their defensive
abilities. We show the ranks in the tables below. We then awarded 10 points for a first place vote,
9 for second, etc., down to 1 point for 10th place. We cover all nine positions, looking at only their
fielding work for the 2022 season. Position players are eligible if they played at least 600 innings
while catchers require a minimum of 500 innings. Either can qualify with 10 Runs Saved, as well.
Pitchers require a minimum of 120 innings pitched or 5 Runs Saved.
In 2014, we introduced a Multi-Position Award for fielders who are excellent defensive players
but do not call any one position their home. Eligible players include those who exhibit a high
degree of positional versatility and value; players who usually play many positions over the course
of the season, might move from position to position within a game, and have demonstrated the
ability to handle high leverage positions when the team needs him to.
