MLB Network's countdown of baseball's best players at each position will run every Saturday night through Feb. 9. The fourth installment of the "Top 10 Right Now!" series featured the game's top first basemen and starting pitchers.

The five-week program hosted by Brian Kenny used rankings based on player performance over the last two seasons, a number of offensive and defensive metrics, both advanced data and traditional numbers and analysis by the MLB Network research team.
