Four Royals Named Silver Slugger Finalists

Four Kansas City Royals players have been named American League finalists for the 2025 Silver Slugger Awards. Vinnie Pasquantino is a finalist at first base, Bobby Witt Jr. at shortstop, Salvador Perez at catcher, and Maikel Garcia for the utility spot.

The Silver Slugger Awards honor the top offensive players at each position in both leagues. Winners are chosen by managers and coaches based on statistics like home runs, RBIs, batting average, and overall offensive performance.

Pasquantino set career highs in home runs and RBIs this season. Witt continued to shine as one of the league’s top shortstops, while Perez remains a steady power hitter behind the plate. Garcia earned recognition for his all-around offensive contributions.

Winners will be announced on The Baseball Insiders YouTube stream—National League on November 6 and American League on November 7.
