MLB Network has been releasing their annual position rankings as computed by The Shredder, and it came as no surprise that Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was the top-ranked center fielder going into the 2019 season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were also well-represented on the list as Cody Bellinger came in just behind Trout at No. 2 and recently-acquired A.J. Pollock ranked seventh.
Bellinger ranks in the top four among current center fielders in home runs, slugging percentage, wRC+ and WAR since 2017. His .522 slugging percentage ranks only third behind Trout (.
