Altuve’s seven Silver Sluggers are tied with former Chicago Cubs star Ryne Sandberg for the most by a second baseman in MLB history. Altuve sits No. 2 on the all-time postseason home runs list (trailing only Manny Ramirez), and he’s just one of three second basemen this century to win an MVP award (joining Dustin Pedroia and Jeff Kent).

For the seventh time in his career, Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was named the American League winner of the Silver Slugger award at second base. Altuve’s seven Silver Slugger awards match Ryne Sandberg for the most won by a second baseman.

Astros second baseman Jose Altuve and Dodgers utilityman Mookie Betts led the field of Silver Slugger honorees, which included seven first-time winners.

Mookie Betts has now seven Silver Sluggers and six Gold Gloves in his career, placing the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar on a list that includes Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr.

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani won the National League Silver Slugger Award for 2024. The winners were announced on MLB Network Tuesday night.
