Louisville Slugger announced the American League finalists for the Silver Slugger Awards on Thursday. On Wednesday, the National League nominees were announced.
The NL winners will be announced on Thursday, Nov. 6, at 6 p.m. ET and the AL winners the night after at the same time on The Baseball Insiders stream on YouTube.
Position finalists and winners are determined by a vote of managers and coaches who cast ballots for players at each position in their league. Each team receives four (4) votes; the manager and three coaches of the team’s choice. Votes are based on a combination of offensive statistics including OPS, OPS+, home runs, RBI, batting average, total bases and runs, as well as the managers’ and coaches’ general impressions of a player’s overall offensive value.
