Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson has been named a finalist for the 2026 Silver Slugger Award at first base, recognizing his offensive production during the regular season.

The announcement comes after a strong campaign for Olson, who hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning against the New York Mets at Truist Park on August 11, 2026, highlighting his power contributions to the Braves' lineup.

Silver Slugger winners are selected by managers and coaches across Major League Baseball and honor the best offensive player at each position in both leagues. Finalists were revealed on November 5, 2026.
