Ranking the Top 50 MLB Players for the 2021 Season

With only one week left standing between now and Opening Day of the 2021 Major League Baseball season, there's no better time to get reacquainted with the league's very best players.

We're going to count 'em down from No. 50 to No. 1, the latter of which was actually a tough call for the first time in years.

In narrowing down our list, we considered players':

  • Track Records: Because the better they've been in the past, the better they figure to be in 2021.
  • Potential Downside: Because players have been known to suddenly get worse, particularly if they come with age or injury concerns.
