Fernando Tatis Jr. The lone Padre up for a Silver Slugger Award

And he’s actually up for two Silver Slugger Awards: In the outfield and as a utility man as he played 120 games in right field and 53 at second base.

The 27-year-old Dominican won his first two awards as a shortstop, in 2020 and 2021.

He hit .289/.358/.470 this year and finished with 25 homers despite not launching his first longball until May 30.

Tatis had a .595 OPS on May 23. From there on, he hit .311/.376/.551 for a .927 OPS over 109 games.

Tatis is up against the Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong (.943 OPS, 45 HRs), the Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll (.795 OPS, 22 HRs), the Brewers’ Jackson Chourio (.837 OPS, 25 HRs), the Cubs’ Seiya Suzuki (.841 OPS, 26 HRs), the Cardinals’ Jordan Walker (.793 OPS, 29 HRs) and the Nationals’ James Wood (.891 OPS, 30 HRs) in the outfield and the Brewers’ Jake Bauers (.874 OPS, 26 HRs) and the Reds’ Sal Stewart (.787 OPS, 32 HRs) at utility.
