Martin posted a .994 fielding percentage with five errors in 880 chances behind the plate along with three passed balls.
Molina — who played in the same amount of games — finished with a .998 fielding percentage with two errors in 868 chances while allowing three passed balls. It is his seventh consecutive Gold Glove award.
Marte posted a .968 fielding percentage with six errors in 188 chances while assisting on four plays. His nine defensive runs saved above average was much lower than his total from last season.
