What happened: Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman is an NL Silver Slugger finalist for the second straight season, joining Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno on the ballot. Goodman batted .245 with an .839 OPS and 41 home runs in 2026 to earn his second consecutive All-Star nod. He became the first Colorado player to hit 40 or more home runs since Nolan Arenado in 2019.

Why it matters: Goodman won the honor in 2025 and aims to become the first Rockie to win back-to-back Silver Sluggers since Trevor Story in 2018 and 2019. Moreno enters the matchup after claiming the National League batting title with a .311 average, 16 home runs, and an .874 OPS.

What to watch: Major League Baseball will announce the Silver Slugger Award winners on Tuesday, Nov. 17.
