 | CL Honors Gold Glove Award Winners Tuesday, October 30th, 2012: Making the play is the mark of great defenders. Spearing a liner, diving in the hole or crashing headlong into the wall makes no difference to these awe-inspiring fielders. Magicians they sometimes appear to be, showing up out of nowhere to rob a batter of a hit and to turn a hit into an out. Pitchers love 'em and batters curse 'em. These defensive wizards will collect their 2012 Central League Gold Glove Awards tonight: Pitcher: Sumitomo Noda (Hiroshima Toyo Carp) Catcher: Tanyu Suzuki (Tokyo Yakult Swallows) First Baseman: Takuji Hakui (Yokohama Bay Stars) Second Baseman: Shotaro Fujii (Hanshin Tigers) Third Baseman: Eichiro Kondo (Chunichi Dragons) Shortstop: Tadanobu Hayagawa (Tokyo Yakult Swallows) Left Fielder: Kimi Maruyama (Tokyo Yakult Swallows) Center Fielder: Masakado Hirano (Yomiuri Giants) Right Fielder: Yoshihiro Kouno (Hanshin Tigers) |   |
