For the first time in MLB history there will be award that recognizes not just the best individual offensive players, but the top offensive teams in both the American and National leagues.
Louisville Slugger will present the first-ever Silver Slugger Team Awards in 2023 which will be rewarded based off a combination of offensive statistics as well as a fan vote. One fan will even have the the opportunity to take a trip to a ballpark early in the 2024 season and present the team award to a player on the field.
"The game is only as strong as its fanbase—and being able to include fans in deciding who wins this prestigious award is incredibly exciting," Jake Misener, Louisville Slugger's marketing manager said in a statement.
