Given to the best offensive players at each position, the Silver Slugger Award is the third of Upton's career.
In 2017, Upton put up several career highs at the plate including doubles (44), home runs (35) and RBI (109).
Upton is the eighth Angels outfielder to win the award and is in good company with the likes of Reggie Jackson, Tim Salmon, Darin Erstad, Garret Anderson, Vlad Guerrero, Torii Hunter and of course, Mike Trout.
