The 2019 Major League Baseball season has come and gone, but before the offseason and free agency kicks into full gear, there are a number of awards to be handed out. One of those is the annual Silver Slugger Award and the winners were announced Thursday evening on MLB Network.
The Silver Slugger is handed out to the top offensive player at each position in both the National and American Leagues. Among the recipients was Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star Cody Bellinger.
Bellinger was one of the best players in all of baseball this season and the awards are reflecting that as he was already rewarded for his defense with his first career Gold Glove Award, and now the same can be said for his offense.
