Bryce Harper has earned his fourth career Silver Slugger Award, marking his first time winning the honor as a first baseman.
Harper was among the top three contenders for the National League’s Silver Slugger at first base, competing against Pete Alonso and Freddie Freeman. As a first baseman, Harper led the NL in multiple categories, including hits (154), doubles (41), slugging percentage (.529), and wRC+ (146).
In total, Harper finished the 2024 season with 42 doubles, a .525 slugging percentage, and a 145 wRC+. This is the third time Harper has earned a Silver Slugger during his tenure with the Phillies. He previously won the award as an outfielder in 2021 and as a designated hitter last season.
2024 was another standout year for Harper, who continues to seek a contract extension. According to FanGraphs, his 5.2 WAR in 2024 was the second-highest of his career in Philadelphia, just behind his MVP season three years ago when he posted a 6.6 WAR.
