World Sports · 12:59:27 - Sunday, 8 November 2026

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Alec Burleson and right fielder Jordan Walker have been named finalists for the Silver Slugger Award, which recognizes the top offensive performers at each position in Major League Baseball.

Both players contributed significantly to the Cardinals' lineup during the 2026 season. Walker, wearing number 18, and Burleson, number 41, were teammates in a May 2 game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Busch Stadium, where Walker hit a two-run home run in the third inning.

The Silver Slugger winners will be announced later in November.
