DENVER — The Rockies 2025 season continues to be historic; Hunter Goodman became the first catcher in club history to be awarded the Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award.

The lone representative for the Rockies in the All-Star game totaled 31 homers and 91 RBIs becoming the second primary catcher in the Modern Era (min. 51% of games at catcher) to record at least 25 doubles, five triples and 30 home runs in a season, joining the Philadelphia Phillies’ Stan Lopata in 1956 (33 2B, 7 3B, 32 HR).

Goodman led all qualified NL catchers in slugging, home runs, extra-base hits, OPS, and RBI.

The last Silver Slugger for the Rockies was Trevor Story (shortstop) in 2019.

The Silver Slugger Award is the top offensive award in Major League Baseball, with the season’s best players at each position selected in a vote by MLB coaches and managers in their respective leagues. 

A vote of MLB managers and coaches decides the Silver Slugger Award winners. They cast ballots for the players they determine to be the best offensive producers at each position in their respective league. Each team receives four votes: the manager and three coaches of their choice. Votes are based on a combination of offensive statistics including OBP, OPS, OPS+, home runs, hits, RBI and batting average as well as the managers’ and coaches’ general impressions of a player’s overall offensive value
