Kyle Tucker is now a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner.<\/p>\n
The Cubs\u2019 right fielder was named a winner of the National League award in the outfield, along with the New York Mets\u2019 Juan Soto and the Arizona Diamondbacks\u2019 Corbin Carroll, MLB announced<\/a> Thursday evening.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Tucker is the first Cub to win a Silver Slugger Award since Cody Bellinger won as a utility player in 2023, and he\u2019s the first Cubs outfielder to win it since Sammy Sosa in 2002. Sosa won the award six times in his career.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old slashed .266\/.377\/.464 with 22 home runs and 73 RBI in his first season with the Cubs. Among NL outfielders, Tucker\u2019s .841 OPS ranked third-best. His 4.7 offensive bWAR was ninth-best in the entire NL, and his OPS+ of 143 was seventh-best.<\/p>\n Tucker\u2019s best offensive stretch for the Cubs came in June when he slashed .311\/.404\/.578 (.982 OPS) with five home runs and 13 RBI. That surge, coupled with a dominant start to the season, helped Tucker earn his fourth straight All-Star selection and first as a starter.<\/p>\n Tucker won an AL Silver Slugger Award as a member of the Houston Astros in 2023, when his 112 RBI led the AL.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Alongside Tucker, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner were nominated for the award at their respective positions, as were the Cubs as a team. Arizona\u2019s Ketel Marte took home the award at second base and the Los Angeles Dodgers earned the team honor.<\/p>\n The award for Tucker comes mere hours after the Cubs extended a qualifying offer<\/a> (QO) to the slugger, who is set to become a free agent this offseason. The Cubs\u2019 QO is set at $22.025 million, and Tucker has until Nov. 18 to accept or decline it. If he signs elsewhere, the Cubs will receive a compensatory draft pick.<\/p>\n The post Cubs\u2019 Kyle Tucker voted 2025 NL Silver Slugger Award winner<\/a> appeared first on Marquee Sports Network – Home of the Cubs, Bears, Red Stars and Sky<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kyle Tucker is now a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner.
