The winners of the 55th Mitsui Golden Glove Awards, which select the best nine in defense through journalist voting, were announced on the 11th. From the Hanshin Tigers, who achieved consecutive victories in the Central League, a league-leading five players (Sakamoto, Oyama, Nakano, Sato, and Morishita) were selected, while the Orix Buffaloes had the most in the Pacific League with three players (Wakatsuki, Mune, and Kurebayashi). The player with the most and longest selection streak was Tatsumi of the Rakuten Eagles, winning for the sixth time in six consecutive years, while five players—Watarai of DeNA, Matsumoto of The Giants, Taira of the Seibu Lions, Ogawa of Lotte, and Fujiwara of Lotte—received the award for the first time.

Four teams had no award winners. In the Central League, five players were selected from the Hanshin Tigers, and two each from The Giants and DeNA, while Hiroshima, Yakult, and Chunichi had zero. In the Pacific League, Nippon-Ham was the only team with no winners.

This is the first time in four years that no one from Nippon-Ham was selected. In 2023 and 2024, Mannami was selected in the outfielder category, and last year, Ito was selected in the pitcher category.
