It’s time to put a bow on the 2022 MLB season with Bleacher Report’s final positional rankings.
Throughout the year, we released monthly updates to our position-by-position rankings, selecting the top 10 players at each spot. Now we’ll finalize those rankings while expanding the list to the 25 best at each position.
Just like the regular-season rankings, past production and future expectations played no part in deciding the order—this is a rundown of the best and brightest of 2022.
To qualify for inclusion, a player had to have at least 200 plate appearances. Each player was only included at the position where he played the most innings. That notably excluded Bobby Witt Jr. (more innings at SS), Gunnar Henderson (132 PA), Mike Brosseau (160 PA), David Villar (181 PA) and Anthony Rendon (193 PA)
Let’s dive into the top 25 third basemen of the 2022 season.
