List of 2012 N.L. Gold Glove Award Winners: First Time Winners Dominate

The National League Gold Glove winners were announced on Tuesday and there were no teammates who shared the award. There were plenty of first time winners. Check out the list.

Catcher: Yadier Molina
There's not much to say about this guy except that he is durable, scares base runners and without a doubt the best catcher in Major League Baseball. He only committed three errors and threw out 48 percent of runners. It is his fifth Gold Glove Award.

1B: Adam LaRoche
A .995 fielding percentage and just five errors would summarize LaRoche's season at first base in Washington. It is his first time winning the award.

2B: Darwin Barney
First time award winner, Barney committed only two errors at second base for a .997 fielding percentage.

SS: Jimmy Rollins 
The ageless wonder continues to play great baseball and won his fourth career Gold Glove. 

3B: Chase Headley
He had a break out season for the Padress with the bat and also with his glove. It is his first time winning the award. Headley commited 10 errors in 425 total chances.  

LF: Carlos Gonzalez 
The thin airs of Coors Field are patrolled by this guy. He only committed four errors and had seven assists frm left field. It is his second time earning the award.

CF: Andrew McCutchen 
This guy seemed to always be on Web Gems or the top plays of the month ddone by the MLB Network. Though he only had three assists, but he only committed one error in 371 chances

RF: Jason Heyward 
It was a great rebound season for Heyward after suffering a sophomore slump.  He committed five errors, in 347 opportunities and became one of the most feared arms in the outfield with 11 assists. 

P: Mark Buehrle 
Can't say Miami treated him poorly. Buehrle won his fourth Gold Glove after winning three in the A.L. with the Chicago White Sox. He was perfect completing 60 of 60 chances from the mound.
