Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna is a finalist for a major MLB award.
But for the 2024 season, designated hitter Marcell Ozuna was the only Braves player named a finalist for the award..302 with a .925 OPS, 39 home runs and 104 RBI on his way to being a NL Silver Slugger finalist at DH. He also registered a .378 on-base percentage thanks in part to a career-high 74 walks, a .546 slugging percentage due to a career-best 70 extra-base hits and a career-high 96 runs.
Ozuna is one of only two finalists for the Silver Slugger Award for the NL DH spot. However, he likely has little chance of winning the award this year. The other DH finalist in the National League is Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani, who is considered the front runner for the NL MVP award. If that isn't enough to put a damper on Ozuna's chances at the Silver Slugger, the MLB's graphic for the finalist list will. It's never good to be competing with the player the league decides to feature on the list of finalists.Ozuna, though, should still be proud of his season. He finished just one home run shy of his career best and knocked in more runs during 2024 than he has in the past six seasons.
