"As part of 4 career Silver Slugger Awards, Alfonso Soriano recorded arguably the greatest season in Washington Nationals history back in 2006. In his lone year in the Nation's Capital, Soriano had a legendary campaign that was possibly the best of his highly successful career when all is said and done. He accounted for 6.1 bWAR and slashed .277/.351/.560, good for a .911 OPS to go along with 46 homers, 95 RBIs, and 41 stolen bases."
"Mr. National, aka Ryan Zimmerman, turned in the 2 best seasons of his career in 2009 and 2010 before injuries began to take their toll on him physically. While playing an elite third base defensively, this was when we fully saw Zimmerman blossom into an elite hitter as well. In 2009, when he made his first All-Star team, Zimmerman accounted for 7.3 bWAR, and slashed .292/.364/.525, good for an .888 OPS to go along with 33 homers and 106 RBIs."
Several former Washington Nationals won multiple Silver Slugger Awards, led by Alfonso Soriano, Ryan Zimmerman, and Ian Desmond. Alfonso Soriano's 2006 season produced 6.1 bWAR and a .277/.351/.560 slash line with a .911 OPS, 46 homers, 95 RBIs, and 41 stolen bases. Ryan Zimmerman earned Silver Sluggers in 2009 and 2010, posting 7.3 bWAR in 2009 with a .292/.364/.525 line (.888 OPS) and a .307/.388/.510 line (.899 OPS) in 2010 along with strong home run and RBI totals. Ian Desmond captured three Silver Sluggers from 2012–2014 despite defensive shortcomings at shortstop.
