It's the second straight season a Cubs pitcher has been a Gold Glove finalist, following Kyle Hendricks and Alec Mills in 2020. Fried took home the award last season.
In his first season with the Cubs, Davies sported a 1.000 fielding percentage, making no errors in his 148 innings pitched.
He posted six Defensive Runs Saved (the second-best mark of his career), ranking third in baseball among pitchers behind the White Sox' Dallas Keuchel (12) and the Mets' Taijuan Walker (seven).
