Daily News | Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto win Silver Slugger awards
Before the Phillies made an autumn run to the World Series, they survived a summer without Bryce Harper. And now, the players who most helped them overcome losing their best hitter are reaping the rewards.
Realmuto, 31, emerged from a sluggish first three months of the season to finish with 22 homers, three short of his career high, and a .478 slugging percentage. He became the second catcher ever with at least 20 homers and 20 stolen bases in a season. While Harper was out, Realmuto slugged .624, second in the NL behind only St. Louis Cardinals first baseman and MVP favorite Paul Goldschmidt .
The manager and three coaches from each team vote for the Silver Slugger, which is awarded to one player apiece at catcher, designated hitter, each infield position, and a utility spot, in addition to three outfielders.
