Royals DH Kendrys Morales was the Silver Slugger Award. A questionable signing before the 2015 season, Morales paid off huge dividends for the Royals during the regular season and postseason. In 158 games, Morales hit .290 with 22 homers, 41 doubles and 106 RBIs. His 53 two-out RBIs ranked first in the AL and second in the Major Leagues, and established a single-season franchise record. He also hit four homers during the playoffs.
Morales has joined Billy Butler (’12), Dean Palmer (’98), Gary Gaetti (’95), Frank White (’86), McRae (’82), Willie Wilson (’80 and ’82) and Brett (’80, ’85 and ’88) on Kansas City’s list of Silver Slugger Award recipients.
