Major League Baseball announced the recipients of the 2019 Silver Slugger Award winners, which recognized a pair of Boston Red Sox hitters for being the best bats at their position.
Right fielder Mookie Betts and shortstop Xander Bogaerts both received the honor for the third time in their careers.
Betts has earned the Silver Slugger Award in three of the last four seasons (2016, 2018, 2019). He’s also won a Gold Glove in each of the last four years. No other Red Sox player in franchise history has won both awards in the same season more than once, highlighting the rare five-tool value that Betts brings to the table.
