Pirates’ Bryan Reynolds A Runner Up For NL Silver Slugger
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds finished as a runner-up for the National League Utility Silver Slugger Award to Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts.
Reynolds was one of four finalists for the award alongside Betts, San Diego Padres infielder Luis Arraez and Miami Marlins infielder Jake Burger. Betts won the award for the seventh time in his career, four of which have come with the Dodgers.
Reynolds amassed 24 home runs and 88 RBIs while slashing .275/.344/.447 last season, while Betts hit 19 home runs, drove in 75 runs and slashed .289/.372/.491. Arraez hit four home runs, drove in 46 runs and slashed .314/.346/.393, while Burger was the best power hitter of the finalists, hitting 29 home runs and he had 76 RBIs while slashing .251/.301/.460.
Reynolds spent most of his time in left field, playing 118 games at the position. He also appeared in 22 games in right field. Betts saw time at three different positions, playing in 65 games at shortstop, 43 in right field and 18 at second base.
Arraez played in 69 games at first base and 42 at second base. Burger played 69 games at first base and 59 at third base.
Reynolds would have been the first Pirates player to win a Silver Slugger since Andrew McCutchen in 2015. McCutchen has won the award four times.
Reynolds, 29, has been a beacon of consistency for the Pirates over the last four seasons and continued that in 2024. The veteran outfielder led Pittsburgh in batting average, home runs and RBIs in 2024 and has hit at least 24 home runs and driven in 80 RBIs in three of the last four seasons.

2026 NFL Draft Pittsburgh regional transportation plan unveiled
With the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh quickly approaching, city officials and Pittsburgh Regional Transit unveiled its regional transportion plan.
Extensive road closures will be in place around Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium from April 22-25 as the 2026 NFL Draft brings three days of excitement and football fans into the city of Pittsburgh.
During NFL Draft events, the city’s Downtown and North Shore areas will convert to a walkable “Draft Campus,” with motorized traffic limited to Pittsburgh Regional Transit vehicles, the city’s light rail system (the “T”) and other official providers.
Therefore, many streets into and around the “Draft Campus” are closed to vehicle traffic starting April 22. Traffic patterns will be adjusted to allow Pirates fans to access PNC Park for baseball games held during the road closures, according to NFLDraftPittsburgh.com.
In addition to these streets, the Interstate 279 and Interstate 579 High Occupancy Vehicle lanes into the city are closed to vehicle traffic all week; only authorized bus traffic and emergency vehicles will be permitted to use those lanes.
People planning to use the Beaver County Transit Authority bus to reach downtown Pittsburgh for the NFL Draft events can find more information about the authority’s bus service plans on the BCTA website.
