The 2022 Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners were announced on Tuesday night before Game 3 of the World Series began in Philadelphia.

Three players participating in the World Series - Houston's Jeremy Pena and Kyle Tucker and Philadelphia's JT Realmuto - were recognized as winners at their respective positions. All three of them participated in Perfect Game events as amateur athletes, Tucker being the most prominent of the three as a PG All-American in 2014.
