6. Mookie Betts/ espn rank 9
Mookie Betts is an all outfielder but mainly center fielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Betts is a very very good two sided player. He is insane and underrated in the outfield but hitting-wise, he is just the same if not better when he is in the outfield He knows where to go with the ball before it's even hit to him. The same can be said for hitting. He knows right when the pitcher lets go of the ball if it's going to be a strike or a ball. He is both an average hitter and home run hitter but his strong suit is probably how he is one of the best double hitters in the entire league
5. Manny Machado/ espn rank 4
Manny Machado is a third baseman for the San Diego Padres. Manny is an amazing third baseman and is arguably the best in the league for his position Machado turned thirty years old around the midseason. If his mid-career performance is any indication, he is well on his way to Cooperstown. He basically carried the Padres to the playoffs and when he got there, he popped off! He beat the Mets in the first game, then beat the 112 win Dodgers before losing to the Phillies in the NL championships, but it definitely wasn't his fault.
Trea Turner is a shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies He is an amazing hitter and knows what he is doing on the defensive side of things as he mashes on the offense. The Phillies made an incredible underdog run to the World Series after beating the Braves and the Padres to get to the World Series but they unfortunately fell short losing to the Astros After doing very well with the Dodgers for two years he went to the Phillies this offseason and hopes not to fall short and help to give this city a ring. #1-3 Next Week!
