Nolan Arrendo gets it at third base, so that's no surprise how good he is. But Albies loses the vote to Kolten Wong. Figures the Cardinals would find another way to stick it to Braves.
No Gold Gloves For Albies Or Donaldson

Second Base – Kolten Wong, St. Louis Cardinals
Kolten Wong has earned the title of best defensive second baseman the last two seasons, becoming an efficient machine when it comes to turning ground balls into outs. Last year he edged out DJ LeMahieu by five points. This time he was a unanimous selection. Wong stands out for getting outs on balls in the '34' hole that other second basemen don't reach. He also brings an aggressiveness to the position. Wong made 38 plays in which he sprinted to either reach a pop up or go after a ground ball, five more than any other second baseman.

2018 Kolten Wong 2011 Dustin Pedroia
2017 DJ LeMahieu 2010 Chase Utley
2016 Dustin Pedroia 2009 Aaron Hill

Neck won one last year. That should tell you all you need to know about this award.

I'm guessing that the aribitrary nature of the Gold Glove awards is why Wilson began its Defensive Player of the Year awards. In this, Freeman won for the second straight year. Also winning, at shortstop, was Andrelton Simmons = who likewise was passed over for a Gold Glove in 2019.
