Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, Freddie Freeman, and Max Muncy were the Dodgers' Silver Slugger nominees at DH, catcher, first base, and third base, but competition was pretty fierce all around.
Ohtani was up against Kyle Schwarber, who already beat him out for the MLBPA's NL Outstanding Player Award, Freeman was up against Pete Alonso, and Muncy was up against (though we hate to give him credit for anything) Manny Machado. Smith, pitted against the Brewers' William Contreras and Rockies' Hunter Goodman, seemed most likely of any of LA's nominees to bring home what would be his first career Silver Slugger.
