Soto Makes History, Alonso Joins the Club as Mets Claim Two Silver Sluggers
Queens just got a little shinier. The National League Silver Slugger winners were announced Thursday night, and two of them call Citi Field home.
Juan Soto and Pete Alonso, the thunder and lightning of the Mets’ lineup, officially claimed their hardware—a fitting finish to a season that turned Flushing into the National League’s launch pad.

Soto’s Debut Season Ends With Silver (Again)
Juan Soto’s first year in Queens was less an “adjustment period” and more “instant ROI.” Despite the baffling All-Star snub, he put up numbers straight out of a video game—43 home runs, 105 RBI, a .921 OPS, 156 wRC+, and 38 stolen bases, all while setting a new personal best in power and production.
The right-fielder is also a 2025 National League MVP Finalist.

Regarding a “lack of protection in the lineup without Aaron Judge,” and what many New York media members claimed (with deserved comeuppance) to be a “down year” for the “obviously miserable” and “unclutch” generational talent, Soto concluded his orange and blue debut by notching his sixth consecutive Silver Slugger Award—the longest streak of any active player.

The player with the longest active Silver Slugger streak?
None other than Juan Soto 👏 pic.twitter.com/KbnBnOJ4ct

On top of that, he is one of only two in major league baseball history to win three consecutive Silver Slugger Awards with three separate clubs.
Juan Soto is rewriting baseball geography one trophy at a time.
Now, Queens joins the map.
Polar Bear Finally Breaks the Ice
For a guy who’s built like a superhero and swings like one, it’s almost unbelievable that Pete Alonso hasn’t already won a Silver Slugger. But 2025 was a career year.

Alonso led all NL first basemen in home runs (38), RBI (126), doubles (41), and OPS (.871), while etching his name into franchise history as the Mets’ All-Time Home Run Leader, passing Darryl Strawberry.

He’s the first Mets first baseman to win the award since Keith Hernandez in 1984—forty-one years later, the Polar Bear restores the roar at first base. And with free agency looming, this is the kind of shine that turns contract numbers into commas (and years).
Lindor Just Misses, But the Core Still Shines
Francisco Lindor, ever the heartbeat of the infield, narrowly missed his own Silver Slugger nod—Arizona’s Geraldo Perdomo edged him out. Still, Lindor’s 31 homers (second 30/30 year) and .466 slugging percentage were a reminder that this lineup wasn’t built on two bats. It was a unit that feasted all summer.
HE’S THIRTY FOR THIRTY.

Power Restored in Queens
Soto and Alonso’s wins make the Mets one of just two NL teams (alongside Arizona) to claim multiple Silver Sluggers in 2025. For a franchise long defined by pitching and patience, this year’s offense told a different story: Queens is officially the power capital of the National League.
