In 154 games, Turang batted .268 with 21 home runs, 100 RBIs, and 19 stolen bases. He is also a standout 2nd baseman whose playing style mirrors Utley.
Altogether, Turang is a gritty defender, aggressive on the base paths, and a left-handed hitter. In 2024, Turang won a Gold Glove Award and a Platinum Glove Award. He is currently a finalist for another Gold Glove Award this year after posting +23 Defensive Runs Saved and performing solidly in the postseason thus far, including coming away with a single error.
In 2008, Utley led the Phillies to a World Series title, ironically over the Tampa Bay Rays. He was a 6-time All-Star and 4-time Silver Slugger Award winner. However, Utley never won a Gold Glove Award, only receiving a nomination in 2014. He is also ranked 7th with 133 fielding runs above average among 2nd basemen.
Turang has been with the Brewers since 2023.
