The National League Silver Slugger finalists were announced on Wednesday, with the Cubs receiving three player nominations: Nico Hoerner, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Kyle Tucker.
Hoerner made a run for the National League batting title near the end of the season, although Trea Turner ultimately edged him out by just seven points. He had the best year of his career, helping lead the Cubs to 92 wins with excellent play on both sides of the ball. His 7.6% strikeout rate was the third-lowest in baseball, and his 11.2% whiff rate ranked among the best in the sport.
