MLB recognized the top offensive players at each position on Wednesday with the annual Silver Slugger awards, a group unsurprisingly led by MVP favorites Shohei Ohtani and Ronald Acuña Jr.
Mookie Betts, Juan Soto, Julio Rodríguez and Luis Arráez were the only players to see repeat wins. In the case of Soto, the San Diego Padres star tied Mike Trout for the most Silver Sluggers before turning 25 with his fourth win, per MLB.com's Sarah Langs.
The most competitive race would have been first base in the National League, where Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Matt Olson of the Atlanta Braves were both major MVP candidates.
