Despite the fact that the San Francisco Giants did not make the postseason, three players received postseason awards.

Pitcher Madison Bumgarner, Shortstop Brandon Crawford and Catcher Buster Posey each were named as Silver Sluggers for their position.

This is the first Silver Slugger for Crawford, who hit .256 with 21 home runs and 84 runs batted in during the 2015 season. Crawford also won his first Gold a glove for his outstanding defense in the field during the 2015 season.

Bumgarner won the Silver Slugger for pitchers for the second consecutive season, as he hit .247 with five home runs on the season.

As for Posey, this was the third time that he won the Silver Slugger in his short career, as he won the award in 2012 and in 2014.

During the 2015 season, Posey hit .318 with 19 home runs and 95 runs batted in, as the Giants finished in second place in the National League West behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.
