Lawrie wins Blue Jays first ever Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award

Lawrie's outstanding play at the hot corner earned another accolade on Sunday as he was named the Blue Jays' recipient of the first Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Each team had one player selected as its defensive player of the year. Unlike the Gold Glove Awards, which are voted on by Major League managers and coaches, these award winners were determined by statistical metrics, using the same "shredder system" seen on the sabermetrics-heavy show "Clubhouse Confidential," along with input from MLB Network analysts.
