NEW YORK — October 2025

The New York Mets are making noise this awards season, with three of their stars — Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, and Juan Soto — officially named finalists for the 2025 National League Silver Slugger Award.

The Silver Slugger, presented annually by Louisville Slugger, honors the best offensive player at each position in both the American and National Leagues. Having three players from the same team on the finalist list is a strong testament to the Mets’ potent lineup during the 2025 campaign.

🔹 Pete Alonso: Power Personified

“Polar Bear” Pete Alonso once again proved why he’s among the premier sluggers in the majors. The first baseman smashed over 40 home runs this season, anchoring the Mets’ offense with his trademark power and consistency. His ability to deliver in clutch moments — especially against division rivals — kept New York competitive in tight games throughout the year.

🔹 Francisco Lindor: The All-Around Catalyst

At shortstop, Francisco Lindor showcased his trademark blend of power, speed, and leadership. The switch-hitting star not only hit for extra bases but also provided veteran stability in the Mets’ infield. With more than 25 home runs and a career-best OPS from the left side, Lindor’s all-around excellence makes him one of the favorites in the shortstop category.

🔹 Juan Soto: The New Star in Queens

In his first full season with the Mets, Juan Soto made an immediate impact. Known for his elite plate discipline and smooth swing, Soto delivered one of the best on-base percentages in the league and added 30+ home runs to his résumé. His arrival transformed New York’s lineup into one of the most dangerous in baseball.

⚾ A Statement Season for the Mets

The trio’s recognition underscores how far the Mets’ offense has come. After seasons defined by inconsistency, New York’s investment in star talent has clearly paid off. With Alonso’s raw power, Lindor’s leadership, and Soto’s elite batting eye, the Mets combined veteran presence with superstar production — a blend that has put them back in the spotlight.

As the 2025 Silver Slugger winners are set to be announced in November, the Mets could very well walk away with multiple trophies — a reflection of a lineup built to contend not just this year, but for seasons to come.
