In fact, he has already made several highlight-reel plays this season, including a wall-climber that robbed Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn of a home run during the team's last homestand.

Friedl may not have the same arm strength as former Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino, but has more than enough to get the job done.

Of course, winning a Gold Glove is no easy feat. There are many talented outfielders in the league and Friedl will have to continue playing at a high level if he wants to be in the running for the award.

TJ Friedl has certainly made an impression and his exceptional fielding skills have already caught the attention of fans and analysts alike. If he can maintain his current level of play, there is no doubt that Friedl has a chance to take home the Gold Glove this season.
