With the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ World Series celebration in the rearview mirror, Major League Baseball is taking one last look back at the 2025 season by handing out their end-of-year awards. Thursday marked the reveal of the National League Silver Sluggers, naming the best hitters at each position in the senior circuit.
With so many talented hitters at each position, there were many positions where the winner was unknown, even after the finalists had been announced. Luckily, we don’t need to hold our breath any longer − unless you’re a fan of an American League team, but even they will be revealed as soon as tomorrow.
Here’s every 2025 Silver Slugger recipient from the National League:
