Fernando Tatis Jr. Named Silver Slugger Award Finalist

San Diego Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. has been named a Silver Slugger Award finalist as both an outfielder and a utility player following a versatile 2026 campaign split between right field and second base. Tatis overcame an early-season power slump to finish the year with a .289 batting average, 181 hits, 25 home runs, and 83 RBIs. Despite being snubbed for a Gold Glove, he stands as the lone Padres player nominated for the prestigious hitting honor, with winners announced Nov. 17.
