The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks had the golden touch during the regular season, postseason and Japan Series.
So it should be no surprise nothing has changed now that awards season is here.
With third baseman Nobuhiro Matsuda and shortstop Kenta Imamiya leading the way, the Hawks led all NPB teams with four players having their names called when the Mitsui Golden Glove Awards were announced during a news conference on Thursday.
