The Silver Slugger award is one of the most illustrious positional awards in MLB. Only three players per position get named, and it symbolizes that you were a top hitter in your respective league at a certain position.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the finalists for the National League Silver Slugger Awards were released, and have two candidates who can potentially take away the hardware.<\/p>\n

Braves’ Matt Olson and Austin Riley named Silver Slugger finalists<\/h2>\n

The Atlanta Braves are represented by first baseman Matt Olson and third baseman Austin Riley in the Silver Slugger Award race.<\/p>\n

Starting with Austin Riley, it was a bit of a surprise when his name was seen on the finalists’ list. He missed the last two months of the season with an abdominal injury. However, he is a two-time SS winner from back in 2021 and 2023. In 102 games this season, he posted a .260 average with 16 home runs and 54 RBIs. It likely won’t be enough to win the award, but at least he’s a finalist.<\/p>\n

As for Matt Olson, he had another under-the-radar, but highly productive offensive season. He took home a Silver Slugger in 2023 after a monstrous season where he smashed 54 home runs and drove in 129 runs.<\/p>\n

In 162 games this season, Olson clubbed 29 home runs, led the NL in doubles (41), and recorded 95 RBIs. His OPS+ was 138, and for what it’s worth, Olson hasn’t missed a single game in four consecutive seasons. He’s in competition with Freddie Freeman and Pete Alonso in the NL, but he has more of a chance to win than Riley, who is up against Matt Chapman, Max Muncy, and Manny Machado.<\/p>\n

The Silver Slugger Awards are released on Nov. 6.<\/p>\n
