Teoscar Hernández – Outfield

Trying to add a third consecutive Silver Slugger Award this season is Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who authored a .267/.316/.491 slash line while adding 25 home runs and 77 RBI on the year to go along with a .807 OPS.

His biggest moment of the season was his two home run game in the second game of the AL Wild Card and the Dominican-born outfielder led the team in slugging while finishing third in home runs RBI, and OPS+ (127).

Six players from the Toronto Blue Jays were named finalists for the 2022 AL Silver Slugger Awards yesterday by Major League Baseball.

In a very stacked outfield class that includes MVP candidate Aaron Judge amongst other impressive names like Mike Trout, Julio Rodríguez, and teammate George Springer. He sits 14th in fWAR (2.4) but makes up for it in wRC+ (129) where he sits seventh and in slugging where he ranks fifth.
