Matt Chapman ranked 7th-best third baseman by MLB Network

Earlier this month, MLB Network wrapped up its annual Top 10 Players Right Now series, ranking the best in the majors at each position.

The Oakland A’s had a few players make their respective Top 10 lists, including Matt Olson (1B), Mark Canha (LF), Ramon Laureano (CF), and Sean Murphy (C), and to the surprise of nobody they also got a mention at third base for Matt Chapman.

  1. Anthony Rendon, LAA
  2. Alex Bregman, HOU
  3. Nolan Arenado, STL
  4. José Ramírez, CLE
  5. Manny Machado, SD
  6. Justin Turner, LAD
  7. Matt Chapman, OAK
  8. Josh Donaldson, MIN
  9. Gio Urshela, NYY
  10. Eugenio Suárez, CIN

This is the third year in a row that Chapman has made the list at the hot corner, beginning with another seventh-place nod in 2019, but it’s a drop from last year when he ranked fourth.
