This market will resolve to the player who wins the 2026 Defensive Player of the Year award in the PLL. In the event of a tie, this market will resolve according to the official winner as determined by PLL rules. If multiple winners are announced then this market will resolve to the player whose listed last name comes first alphabetically. If the 2026 PLL season is cancelled, postponed after September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”. The resolution source for this market will be official information from the PLL; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.The tight 2026 PLL Dave Pietramala Defensive Player of the Year race reflects the balanced impact of several elite close defensemen across the league. Reigning 2025 winner Gavin Adler joined the Philadelphia Waterdogs via free agency and continued shutting down top attackmen with strong on-ball presence and takeaways, while JT Giles-Harris anchored the Denver Outlaws' defense with consistent physical play and caused turnovers. Fellow finalists Brendan Lavelle of the Utah Archers and Brett Makar of the New York Atlas posted comparable groundball and disruption numbers, preventing any single defender from separating. Team defensive rankings, head-to-head matchups, and regular-season contributions have kept implied probabilities clustered near 23-24% for the leaders, underscoring the depth at the position heading into final voting.
