Where do Williams, Ruth rank among best hitters in MLB history?
Dominant pitching has been the story of the 2021 MLB season. The league has already seen five no-hitters (six including Madison Bumgarner’s seven-inning no-no as part of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves on April 25). Between 100 mile per hour heaters, specialty relievers and some historic hurlers, pitching has taken over as the superior side on the diamond.
The rise in incredible pitching has come at a cost to hitters, even some of the game’s greatest. Albert Pujols was released by the Los Angeles Angels in the final year of a 10-year contract. Miguel Cabrera has struggled, too. Pujols has found new life across the City of Angels, hitting an RBI single out of the cleanup spot in his Dodgers debut on May 17.
Pujols has the chance to build on his historic résumé, and he insists he has plenty of gas left in the tank at 41 years old. Where does he rank among the game’s greatest hitters, and just how high can he ascend? Here’s a look at the top 20 batters in big league history.
