Just a few days after receiving his seventh Gold Glove, Ichiro captured his second career Silver Slugger Award, which recognizes the best offensive producer at every position. He also won the award in 2001, his rookie season in which he was the American League MVP. The award comes three days after Ichiro won his seventh straight Gold Glove.
The Silver Slugger winners are determined by a vote of Major League Baseball coaches and managers. Selections are based on a combination of offensive statistics, including batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage, as well as the coaches and managers general impressions of a player s overall offensive value.
Ichiro added another precious metal to his 2007 award collection today~~
