Every year, the best offensive players at each position from each league get recognized by being awarded with a Silver Slugger award. Here are the American Silver Slugger award winners and how they did.
Mitch Garver- C (MIN)
In 93 games, Garver hit 31 HR while slashing .273/.365/.630.
Carlos Santana- 1B (CLE)
After having a down year with the Phillies in 2018, Santana was traded back to where it all started and rebounded with one of the best years of his career. He appeared in all but four games and posted career-high numbers in RBI (94), batting average (.281), OPS (.911) and tied his career-high in HR (34).
D.J. LeMahieu- 2B (NYY)
Many thought LeMahieu would have a hard time adjusting being away from Coors Field, but he did the complete opposite. With the Yankees, he had the best season of his career as he hit 26 HR with 102 RBIs while slashing .327/.375/.518
