Eighteen Gold Gloves are awarded each year. A Golden Glove is awarded to a player at every nine positions. 

Since its inception in 1957, individual awards were presented to players of each position for the first four years. However, from 1961 to 2010, the award was given to three outfielders irrespective of their position.

Because of that, there were instances where three players from the same position got the award, raising some questions. After nearly 50 years, the award was presented to individuals of each position again in 2011.

Starting last season, a utility player from each league is also presented with the award. Hence, making the total number of awards presented each year rise to 20.
