Silver Slugger Award

Washington Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo hält Ryan Zimmermans Silver Slugger Award

Der Silver Slugger Award ist eine Auszeichnung in der US-amerikanischen Baseball-Profiliga Major League Baseball (MLB). Er wird seit 1980 jährlich an die offensivstärksten Baseballer vergeben, die besten „Slugger“. Die Trophäe ist ein stilisierter, drei Fuß langer silberner Baseballschläger von der Firma Hillerich & Bradsby, dem Hersteller der Louisville-Slugger-Baseballschläger.

Wahlmodus

Wahlberechtigt sind alle Trainer und Manager der MLB. Relevant sind Offensivstatistiken wie Home Runs, Batting Average, On-Base Percentage oder Slugging Percentage. Kein Trainer oder Manager darf einen Spieler seines eigenen Vereins wählen. Pro Jahr wird sowohl in der National League als auch in der American League ein komplettes Baseballteam gewählt (Pitcher/Designated Hitter, Catcher, Erste Base, Zweite Base, Dritte Base, Shortstop, drei Outfielder), sodass insgesamt 18 Silver Slugger Awards vergeben werden.

Dabei ist es bei den Outfieldern irrelevant, welche exakte Feldposition (Right Field, Center Field, Left Field) sie spielen; auch sechs Rightfielder könnten somit Silver Slugger Awards gewinnen. Da es in der American League den sogenannten Designated Hitter gibt, wird dementsprechend die Trophäe an den offensivstärksten Designated Hitter vergeben.

Rekordhalter

Barry Bonds gewann 12 Silver Slugger Awards und ist alleiniger Rekordhalter.

Barry Bonds gewann zwölf Silver Slugger Awards und ist derzeit alleiniger Rekordhalter. Mike Piazza und Alex Rodríguez gewannen jeweils zehn silberne Baseballschläger, gefolgt von Barry Larkin mit neun.
