Buster Posey picked up one more parting gift to cap off his terrific career.
The longtime San Francisco Giants catcher, who announced his retirement last week, earned his fifth Silver Slugger award on Thursday night. Posey hit .304 with 18 homers, 56 RBIs and a .390 on-base percentage in 113 games in 2021.
The Silver Slugger awards, which are voted upon by major league managers and coaches, recognize the top offensive players at each position in both leagues using a variety of statistical categories.
Four Atlanta Braves players picked up Silver Slugger awards to go along with their World Series championship rings.
