Lowe and more Bucs could take home awards this year

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Brandon Lowe and several teammates are in contention for major postseason accolades following the team's 82-80 season. Lowe was named a Gold Glove finalist after improving his defense under infield coach Chris Truby, while also hitting 35 home runs and 96 RBIs. Utility man Jared Triolo joins Lowe as a Gold Glove finalist after playing across five positions during the campaign.

Pittsburgh also features multiple All-MLB Team candidates, including third baseman Nick Gonzales, who batted .303, along with starting pitchers Paul Skenes and Braxton Ashcraft. Reliever Mason Montgomery is also positioned for recognition following a breakout second half featuring a 1.14 ERA post-trade deadline, with MLB award announcements scheduled across early November.
