The award is Ichiro's tenth straight, spanning every year he's played in America. The ageless right fielder continues to be a steady presence in the Mariners' outfield, starting 160 of the 162 games this year. Ichiro recorded seven outfield assists, four erros and a .989 fielding percentage in 2010.
Gutierrez won his first Gold Glove in 2010 after being snubbed last year. He amassed a perfect field percentage in center field this year, dazzling crowds with his range and acrobatic catches. Gutierrez recorded two outfield assists and countless highlight-reel catches in 145 games this season.
For the Mariners, it's the 10th time two players have been awarded Gold Gloves in the same year.
