CONGRATUALTIONS!! William Contreras wins second straight Silver Slugger

Contreras, as expected, repeated as the award winner at catcher. His 131 wRC+ was 14 points higher than any other catcher who played at least 85 games—his older brother, Willson, was the only primary catcher in baseball who eclipsed that mark but he missed about half the season.

Chourio was viewed as a longshot in the National League outfield, though general weakness at the position this season meant that he had an outside shot. It was not to be though, as all three NL outfielders came from the NL West: Jackson Merrill and Jurickson Profar from the Padres and Teoscar Hernández from the Dodgers.

Adames was also not expected to win at shortstop. Adames had a great year offensively but the winner of the award was the Mets’ Francisco Lindor, who is widely expected to finish second in MVP voting. Sometimes the cards just don’t fall in your favor.

A full list of winners is available here.

Awards season continues on Thursday when the All-MLB teams are announced (for which Contreras should have a decent shot as well). The Hank Aaron Awards, Reliever of the Year Awards, the Edgar Martinez Designated Hitter Award, and the Comeback Player of the Year Awards are also given out on Thursday.
