Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno are Silver Slugger finalists

Two Arizona Diamondbacks players are finalists for the 2026 Silver Slugger Award.

Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno each earned nominations when MLB released the list of National League finalists on Thursday.

The Silver Slugger is given annually to the best offensive player at each position in each league.

Winners are selected by a vote of MLB managers and coaches, who cannot vote for their own players.

Gabriel Moreno is a finalist at catcher.

His only competitor is Hunter Goodman of the Colorado Rockies.

Both play in the National League West.

Moreno put up a .311 batting average this season.

Goodman hit .245.

Moreno also led in on-base percentage (.388 to .310) and OPS (.874 to .839).

He collected 20 more hits and 13 more doubles than Goodman in 45 fewer at-bats.

Goodman played eight more games than Moreno.

Goodman, however, hit 41 home runs — more than double Moreno’s 16.

Goodman also had the higher slugging percentage: .529 to .486.

Corbin Carroll is a finalist in the outfield category.

He is one of seven finalists for three outfield spots.

The other six finalists are Jackson Chourio (Milwaukee Brewers), Pete Crow-Armstrong (Chicago Cubs), Seiya Suzuki (Chicago Cubs), Fernando Tatis Jr. (San Diego Padres), Jordan Walker (St. Louis Cardinals) and James Wood (Washington Nationals).

Carroll’s standout statistic is triples.

He finished the season with 17 triples for the second straight year.

That ties his career high.

In other areas, Carroll had a down year by his standards.

He hit 22 home runs, tying his lowest mark in a full season.

Among the seven outfield finalists, Carroll ranked last in batting average at .239.

No other finalist was below .265.

He ranked sixth in on-base percentage at .328.

The lowest among the others was .327.

He ranked sixth in OPS at .795.

The lowest among the others was .793.

The winners will be announced on November 17.

The Diamondbacks have recent history with the award.

Carroll was one of three NL outfielders to win the Silver Slugger in 2025.

That was the first Silver Slugger of his career.

Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo each won at their infield positions in 2025.

Before Marte won in 2024, the Diamondbacks had not had a Silver Slugger winner since pitcher Zack Greinke won in 2019.

The Silver Slugger has been awarded annually since 1980.

It is produced by Hillerich & Bradsby, the same company that makes Louisville Slugger bats.

The award recognizes the best hitter at each position in both the American League and National League.

A separate award is given for designated hitters in the American League.

Utility players are also recognized in a separate category.

Fernando Tatis Jr., one of Carroll’s competitors in the outfield, was also nominated in the utility category.

Tatis played both right field and second base for the Padres this season.

He began playing second base in early April after spending most of the previous three seasons in the outfield.

Tatis won Silver Slugger Awards at shortstop in 2020 and 2021.

He is seeking his first award as an outfielder or utility player.

Tatis started the 2026 season slowly.

Through May 29, he was hitting .268 with a .652 OPS and no home runs.
