Der Silver Slugger Award ist eine Auszeichnung in der US-amerikanischen Baseball-Profiliga Major League Baseball (MLB). Er wird seit 1980 jährlich an die offensivstärksten Baseballer vergeben, die besten „Slugger“. Die Trophäe ist ein stilisierter, drei Fuß langer silberner Baseballschläger von der Firma Hillerich & Bradsby, dem Hersteller der Louisville-Slugger-Baseballschläger.
Wahlmodus
Wahlberechtigt sind alle Trainer und Manager der MLB. Relevant sind Offensivstatistiken wie Home Runs, Batting Average, On-Base Percentage oder Slugging Percentage. Kein Trainer oder Manager darf einen Spieler seines eigenen Vereins wählen. Pro Jahr wird sowohl in der National League als auch in der American League ein komplettes Baseballteam gewählt (Pitcher/Designated Hitter, Catcher, Erste Base, Zweite Base, Dritte Base, Shortstop, drei Outfielder), so dass insgesamt 18 Silver Slugger Awards vergeben werden.
Zwei Besonderheiten sind zu beachten. Erstens ist es bei den Outfieldern irrelevant, welche exakte Feldposition (Right Field, Center Field, Left Field) sie spielen, so dass z. B. auch sechs Rightfielder alle Silver Slugger Awards gewinnen könnten. Zweitens gibt es in der American League den sog. Designated Hitter, der in der Offensive immer für den Pitcher eingewechselt wird, dementsprechend wird der Silver Slugger Award nicht an den offensivstärksten Werfer, sondern an den offensivstärksten Designated Hitter vergeben.
Rekordhalter
Barry Bonds gewann zwölf Silver Slugger Awards und ist derzeit alleiniger Rekordhalter. Mike Piazza und Alex Rodríguez gewannen jeweils zehn silberne Baseballschläger, gefolgt von Barry Larkin mit neun.
