After checking in with the game’s top shortstops, the B/R MLB 300 now heads to its final stop on the infield with a look at the top third basemen in Major League Baseball for the 2016 season.
The hot corner may be packed with more talent than any other position, but we’re going to narrow our list to 25 players. They have many different talents, but the scoring system for them reflects how third base is still an offense-oriented position:
- Hitting: 30 points
- Power: 30 points
- Baserunning: 15 points
- Defense: 25 points
Before we move on, here’s a reminder that this year’s B/R MLB 300 is different from past versions in a key way. Rather than use the events of 2016 to project for 2017, the focus is strictly on 2016. Think of these rankings as year-end report cards.
