This marks the second straight year the Boston Red Sox right fielder has won the award.
While Betts didn’t mirror his 2018 MVP numbers, he still was a bright spot for the team during what was a down season for the Sox. The 27-year-old batted .295 with 29 home runs, 80 RBIs and 176 hits.
He’s going back-to-back! 🏆

Betts adds the Silver Slugger to his Gold Glove he won Nov. 3. He also became the first Red Sox player to win a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger in the same season, per Red Sox Notes.
This is the third time Mookie Betts has won a Gold Glove Award and a Silver Slugger Award in the same season (2016, ’18, ’19). No other Red Sox player has done that more than once.

Can he make it four straight in 2020?
