Ramírez paced Cleveland's offense with club highs in in RBI (118), home runs (39), doubles (39), stolen bases (41) and OPS (.872). His 118 RBI ranked second in the AL and his 39 homers tied a career high. He became just the second player in MLB history to collect at least 39 doubles, 39 home runs and 40 steals in the same season. He garnered AL Player of the Week honors in September when he hit .500 with three doubles, one triple, two home runs, six RBI and a 1.786 OPS in the final week of the season.

Naylor and Ramírez became the 10th set of Cleveland teammates to post 30+ HR and 100+ RBI in the same season. The last set to achieve the feat was Ramírez and Edwin Encarnación in 2018.

Ramírez is a four-time winner (2022, 2020, 2018, 2017). Naylor is seeking his first career Silver Slugger Award.

Winners are determined by a vote of MLB managers and coaches who base their selections on a variety of offensive statistics including OPS, OPS+, home runs, hits, runs, RBI, average and overall offensive value, according to Louisville Slugger, the award's name sponsor.

Silver Slugger Award winners will be announced at 6 p.m. on Nov. 12 during a MLB Network special telecast.
