This afternoon, Louisville Slugger announced that Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman has won the Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award for catcher in the National League.
The 26-year-old is the 17th Rockie to earn a Silver Slugger, and it marks the 33rd time a Rockies player has won one. Plus, he’s the first Colorado Rockies catcher to win. Trevor Story won the organization’s most recent Silver Slugger in 2019.
As a reminder, Goodman hit .278/.323/.520 (.843 OPS) in 144 games, including 28 doubles, five triples, 31 home runs and 91 RBI. He ranked among the National League leaders in SLG (.520, 7th), home runs (31, T-8th), extra-base hits (64, T-11th), OPS (.843, 12th) and RBI (91, 13th).
He also led all qualified NL catchers in each of those categories.
Goodman was the first NL catcher to have a 30-home run season since the Braves’ Javy Lopez hit 43 in 2003.
For the Rockies, he was the first Rockie to record at least 30 home runs since Charlie Blackmon (32), Trevor Story (35) and Nolan Arenado (41) in 2019.
And before the “Coors!” chants begin, Goodman hit 18 home runs on the road, 13 at home.
The Silver Slugger Award is Major League Baseball’s highest offensive honor, with the season’s best players at each position selected through a vote by MLB coaches and managers in their respective leagues.
