The best hitters in the American League moved one step closer to taking home a coveted Silver Slugger Award on Thursday.

Rooker, 30, batted .262 with 30 home runs, 89 RBI, and a .814 OPS in a career-high 162 games this season, including 135 games at designated hitter. Rooker also collected 40 doubles and was the only American League player to hit 30 home runs and 40 doubles this season.

The Yankees, meanwhile, have four finalists in Cody Bellinger, Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm, and Ben Rice, who received votes in the relatively new utility category. Judge, being the best hitter in the world, is a lock to garner the Yankees their 52nd trophy, which will put the Sox further in the hole.
