Masyn Winn has emerged as the Cardinals’ defensive anchor at short, leading MLB with 21 outs above average and a wide edge in OAA over a tight group behind him. If he sustains this pace, he could become STL’s first Gold Glove winner since Edgar Renteria in 2003. Winn is hitting .267 with 9 homers and 46 RBI with 38 games left, showing enough pop to pair with elite glove work. In the Yankees game, his three-run homer helped Memphis… er, St. Louis briefly surge, underscoring the two-way threat he offers.

The Gold Glove chase features a cluster around Winn, including Witt Jr., Hayes, and Crow-Armstrong, all at 18 OAA and within striking distance. Winn’s two errors all season and a league-leading 4.02 PO/9 showcase a rare blend of contact, range, and consistency. If he stays healthy and erases a few mistakes, Winn could author a historic Cardinals season and transform his fantasy upside as a premier multifaceted contributor.
