Kansas City Royals infielder Bobby Witt Jr., catcher Carter Jensen, and first baseman Jack Caglianone have been named finalists for the 2026 Silver Slugger Award at their respective positions. The announcement recognizes the offensive production of the three players during the regular season.

Witt Jr., wearing number 7, Jensen with number 22, and Caglianone with number 14 were photographed together during the Royals' game against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park on September 15, 2026. The Silver Slugger Award honors the best offensive player at each position in both the American League and National League, as voted on by MLB managers and coaches.

The Royals' trio represents a strong showing for the franchise, with finalists at three different positions. Winners are typically announced in November following the conclusion of the World Series.
