Los Angeles Dodgers teammates Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy have been named finalists for the 2026 Silver Slugger Awards, recognizing the best offensive players at each position in Major League Baseball.

Ohtani, the two-way superstar who serves as the team's designated hitter and starting pitcher, continues his historic season at the plate. Muncy, the veteran first baseman, has provided consistent power production in the middle of the Dodgers lineup.

The pair were photographed celebrating a run together during a September 8, 2025 game against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium, highlighting their on-field chemistry.

Silver Slugger winners are determined by votes from MLB managers and coaches, with results typically announced in November. Both players are seeking their first Silver Slugger honors as Dodgers.
