The winners of the Major League American League Silver Slugger Award were announced on the 8th (Korea time).
It was only natural that Lali won the title with 60 home runs and 125 RBIs. It was the first time for a Seattle catcher to win the Silver Slugger Award. Lally, a switch-hitter, hit more than 20 home runs at both at-bats, showing off that he is a slugger who can hit home runs at any other time.
The first baseman was awarded to Oakland Athletics rookie Nick Kurtz. In his debut season, he hit 299 with 36 home runs and 86 RBIs, becoming the best first baseman in the American League. The OPS was 1.002, but only three batters, Aaron Judge of the Yankees, Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Kurtz, were over 1,000 at-bats.
The second baseman was given by the Yankees' Jazz Chism Jr. He joined his first 30-30 club with 31 homers and 31 steals.
Jose Ramirez of the Cleveland Guardians received the third baseman for the sixth time in his career. It is the second consecutive award after 2017-2018. He achieved his second career 30-30 club with 30 home runs and 44 steals.
Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals won the second consecutive year in the second base category. He hit 295 with 23 home runs and 38 steals.
Outfielder Aaron Judge, Minnesota Twins' Byron Buxton and Detroit Tigers' Riley Green received the outfield. Judge is the fifth winner and has received four in the last five years. He recorded a batting average of 331, 53 home runs, and 114 RBIs, winning three titles including batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage.
Buxton had his first win by achieving a career high of 35 home runs and 24 steals, and 24-year-old Green had 36 home runs and 111 RBIs, making him the first Detroit outfielder in 10 years since 2015.
The designated hitter was George Springer of the Toronto Blue Jays. Springer, who won awards in 2017 and 2019, the Houston Sizzles, has been sluggish recently, but has revived this season to record 32 home runs, 18 steals, and an OPS of 0.959.
Detroit's Jack McKinstry was chosen for the utility position, which plays multiple positions. McKinstry, who started in five positions this season, including second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, left fielder, and right fielder, hit 12 homers, 23 doubles, 11 triples, and added 19 stolen bases.
The Yankees were selected as the team of the year. He scored 849 points and had 274 home runs, a team slugging percentage of 0.455 and a team OPS of 0.787. There were as many as six hitters who hit more than 20 home runs.
