Tampa Bay Rays Players of the Decade: #3 Ben Zobrist

Ben Zobrist began his big league career with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2006. He would wear a Rays uniform for nine seasons and leave as one of the most revered Rays in franchise history. He was the epitome of the “Rays Way”, playing practically wherever he was needed and hitting from both sides of the plate.

This decade he played in over 700 games, amassed more than 28 wins above replacement and helped lead the Rays during their most successful stretch in franchise history. The only position player to be more productive this decade for the Rays is Evan Longoria.
