1. Andruw Jones, CF

Jones is one of four MLB players with 400 home runs and 10 gold glove awards. The other three are Ken Griffey Jr., Mike Schmidt and Willie Mays. He’s arguably the greatest defensive outfielder in baseball history — his Total Zone Runs (253) only trail Brooks Robinson (293).

Seasons with at least 25 home runs and 25 defensive runs saved as a centerfielder:
Andruw Jones – 4
The other 19,901 players in history combined – 2

He received 58.3% of votes in 2023, and in the coming years, he could see that jump and finally be recognized as a Hall of Famer.
