Olson won his third straight Fielding Bible Award despite slipping to third place in Defensive Runs Saved with five in 2020.

But Olson is well-rounded, and that's what carried him to the honor. Over the last three seasons, he's well ahead of the rest of the field in the Range component of DRS. And he's the MLB leader in that time in Scoop Runs Saved (Runs Saved from handling difficult throws).

Olson joined Albert Pujols as the only first basemen to win a Fielding Bible Award in three straight seasons. Pujols, who has won five, did it in the first four years of the award, from 2006 to 2009.

Wong becomes the first second baseman to win a Fielding Bible Award in three straight seasons. He's now won two close votes (this year and 2018) sandwiched around a unanimous choice in 2019.

Wong was the only winner from a Cardinals infield that was the best in baseball in turning ground balls and bunts into outs. It's the second straight year that the team has done that. Wong wasn't flashy, but he finished with five Defensive Runs Saved. His 40 Runs Saved at the position over the last three seasons are easily the most in the majors.

After two years of losing out to Matt Chapman, Arenado takes his fourth Fielding Bible Award, tying Adrián Beltré for the most won at the hot corner since we began handing them out in 2006.

Arenado led all MLB players with 15 Runs Saved. No other third baseman was in double figures. Arenado stood out most on balls hit to his left, making 58-of-89 plays on which he had a greater-than zero chance of getting at least one out. That was 10 more than he was expected to record based on historical probabilities.

Báez lost out to Nick Ahmed of the Diamondbacks by two points last season but won a tight vote in 2020. This is his fourth Fielding Bible Award, his first at shortstop with the other three being the Multi-Position Award.

Báez finished tied for second among shortstops in the component of Defensive Runs Saved that measures range, throwing, and handling balls hit in the air. He finished tied for first in Double Play Runs Saved. His strength was in taking away base hits on balls hit up the middle. He made 67-of-111 such plays in which he had a greater-than-zero chance to record an out, six plays more than his expected total.

O'Neill is the fifth different left fielder to win a Fielding Bible Award in the last five years. He earned it on the strength of an MLB-leading nine Runs Saved at the position. O'Neill won with his play on balls hit to the deepest part of the ballpark. He caught 46-of-54 chances on those balls, eight more than an average left fielder.

O'Neill can also thank the Cardinals coaching staff for positioning him well. His top three plays made in terms of plays saved value were all on balls sliced down the left field line that O'Neill was able to track down thanks to being in a good spot to get to the ball at the time of the pitch.

This was the closest vote, with Kiermaier and Byron Buxton finishing even in Points. Kiermaier won on our first tiebreaker, recording six first-place votes to Buxton's five.

Kiermaier won this award in a little different fashion than his previous honor in 2015. He is normally known for catching up to balls with his great closing speed. But this year, he saved six runs for his Outfield Arm compared to only two for his Range & Positioning. The six Outfield Arm Runs Saved were double that of the next-closest player, with six also representing his MLB-leading center field assist total for 2020.

Betts won for the fourth time in five seasons, making his first season with the Dodgers a highly successful one. Betts' four Fielding Bible Awards pass Ichiro Suzuki and Jason Heyward for most won by a right fielder since the Awards began in 2006.

Betts extended his streak of seasons with at least 10 Runs Saved at an outfield position to six (one season in center field and now five straight in right field). He led in the Range & Positioning component of Runs Saved in right field, rating above average at getting outs on balls hit to both the shallowest and deepest parts of the ballpark.

In last year's Fielding Bible Awards, we said that Pérez might have some staying power at catcher. That turned out to be prescient. He became the first repeat winner at the position since Buster Posey in 2015 and 2016. Though Pérez finished third among catchers in Defensive Runs Saved, he had positive Runs Saved totals in pitch framing, pitch blocking, and stolen base deterrence. His MLB-best three Stolen Base Runs Saved came from catching 9-of-13 basestealers and picking off another.

If Pérez wins again next year, he would become the second catcher to do so in three straight seasons. Fellow Puerto Rico native Yadier Molina won four straight from 2007 to 2010.

Fried led pitchers with five Defensive Runs Saved, matching the total he recorded in 2019. Fried showed both quick reflexes to snag hard-hit ground balls and the ability to get off the mound to field a weak dribbler or bunt. His top plays are reminiscent of those made by past winners Dallas Keuchel (a former Fried teammate) and Zack Greinke.

Additionally, Fried is tough to run on. His four pickoffs tied Tyler Anderson of the Giants for the MLB lead. The completeness of his defensive game is what made him award worthy.

When we asked Hernández how many gloves he owned during his appearance on the SIS Baseball Podcast, he said "Too many," before rattling off a long list of practice mitts and gamers at the different positions he plays.

He needs them all.

In addition to making 22 starts at second base, where he saved an MLB-best nine runs, Hernández made three starts in right field, three starts in center field, two starts in left field, two starts at shortstop, as well as seven innings at first base. He was a major asset to the Dodgers defensively at each of those spots. And in winning his first Fielding Bible Award, he helped the team to the best record in the majors.
