Three Phillies Are Finalists For 2024 MLB Silver Slugger Awards
Since 1980, the Silver Slugger Awards are given annually to the best hitters at each position for that season in the National and American Leagues. The winners are selected based on voting by Major League Managers and Coaches.
There have been 13 Phillies players who have been selected for the Silver Slugger Award over the last 44 years. A list that includes Phillies greats such as Mike Schmidt, Darren Daulton, Chase Utley, and Jimmy Rollins.
Major League Baseball has announced the Finalists for the 2024 Silver Slugger Awards and three Phillies players are in the running for this year's awards. The last time the Phillies had multiple players win Silver Sluggers Awards in one season is 2022 (JT Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber).
