With the MLB season in the rear view mirror, the MLB hosted this year’s Silver Slugger Awards on Tuesday night as Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani led the way with the major trophies. 

Judge & Ohtani Lead MLB Awards

It was the same faces picking up this year’s MLB Silver Slugger awards, as Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani came up big yet again this year.

The Silver Slugger awards are voted on by the league’s coaches and managers, with the best players from each position in the AL and NL receiving an honor (except for the outfielders of which there are three from each league).

There were only seven first-time winners this year at the awards, while the other 13 have already picked up a Slugger trophy in their career. Jose Altuve and Mookie Betts on the other hand won their seventh titles, something that only 16 players in MLB history have ever done.    

Both teams from the World Series received the offensive team of the year title, with the Yankees and Dodgers both dominating the awards.
