Ohtani topped the Atlanta Braves’ Marcell Ozuna to win his third career Silver Slugger at designated hitter, but first in the NL. Hernández also won his third career Silver Slugger in one of the three outfield selections.

The Dodgers additionally won the team Silver Slugger Award in the National League over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Freddie Freeman (first base) and Will Smith (catcher) were finalists for a Silver Slugger as well, but lost out.

After finishing the 2024 season in right field, the Dodgers again are likely to move Betts back to the infield dirt. The team has not yet fully decided on such a change, nor whether Betts will play second base or shortstop.

They planned on having Betts play second base this past season but Gavin Lux’s struggles required him to be flipped over to shortstop.
