The MLB is set to introduce a new accolade, a Silver Slugger award for top offensive teams. A recent tweet shared by Talkin' Baseball talked about the development.
Unlike traditional Silver Slugger awards that celebrate individual players, this honor is designed to recognize the top-performing offensive teams in the league. The selection process for this prestigious award will be a blend of analytics and fan engagement through votes.
While fans have high hopes for the Atlanta Braves winning the award, there are also lingering questions about the necessity of this new accolade.
