Major League Baseball has unveiled the National League Silver Slugger winners from the 2025 season.
The group is headlined by many familiar names, including Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto.
Here is the full list of winners as revealed Thursday.
Catcher: Hunter Goodman (Colorado Rockies)
First Base: Pete Alonso (New York Mets)
Second Base: Ketel Marte (Arizona Diamondbacks)
Shortstop: Geraldo Perdomo (Arizona Diamondbacks)
Third Base: Manny Machado (San Diego Padres)
Outfield: Juan Soto (New York Mets), Corbin Carroll (Arizona Diamondbacks), Kyle Tucker (Chicago Cubs)
Designated Hitter: Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers)
Utility: Alec Burleson (St. Louis Cardinals)
Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
The battle everyone was keeping an eye on between Ohtani and Kyle Schwarber at DH in the National League never felt all that close.
Ohtani was better in all three traditional triple-slash categories (.282/.392/.622), as well as weighted on-base average (.418) and OPS+ (179).
Schwarber was hardly a slouch with a .240/.365/.563 slash line, .391 weighted on-base average and 150 OPS+. He also hit one more homer than Ohtani (56 to 55) and drove in more runs (132 to 102).
By virtually every metric, though, Ohtani was the superior offensive player and a deserving winner of the award for the third consecutive year and fourth time in his career.
The most compelling race was at first base in the NL. Pete Alonso, Freddie Freeman, and Matt Olson were all within 1.8 points of each other in FanGraphs’ offensive value metric.
Alonso led the group in that category and home runs (37), but Freeman set the pace in batting average (.295) and tied Olson in on-base percentage (.366).
There was not going to be a wrong choice from that group, but Alonso ultimately received the edge in the final voting as the standard for offensive production at first base in 2025.
