We’ve witnessed a wide range of quality and reliable first basemen throughout the history of the MLB, but have you ever wondered who the best first basemen of all-time are? There’s probably a few names coming to mind right away, but would you be able to come up with 20 names?
The first baseman is one of the most important and most-used players on the defense. They’re involved in a majority of the defensive plays. When they’re not fielding a ground ball, they’re catching the ball with their foot on first base – stretching their body to get an out, if they have to.
Due to their high usage on defense, it’s important that your team has a reliable and consistent first baseman – which the best first basemen of all-time are, for the most part. Of course, you also want your first baseman to be productive on the offensive end – which is always a plus.

Who Are the Best First Basemen in MLB History?
The best first basemen were everything their teams needed them to be. When at the plate, they were efficient and productive – either with power or contact. When at the bag, they were always ready to catch the ball and they were capable of turning a bad throw to first base into an out.
As of 2022, 25 of the best first basemen of all-time have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame – which is the third-most players from one position, excluding pitchers. For reference, there are currently 27 right fielders in the Hall of Fame and 26 shortstops in the Hall of Fame.
With that said, not all of the best first basemen in MLB history have made their way to the Hall of Fame. For example, Fred McGriff, Steve Garvey, Gil Hodges, Don Mattingly, Will Clark, and Rafael Palmeiro aren’t in the Hall of Fame, despite having incredible careers at the position.
Still, none of those players are on our list of the 20 best first basemen of all-time. And as a side note, some of the best first basemen of all-time listed below spent time as designated hitters when not at first base, but we’re considering them first basemen for the sake of this article.

A quality first baseman is hard to find, but that’s what makes them so valuable – not every team has one, but those that do make sure they treat them right. It’s safe to say that it’s a good time to be a first baseman and definitely a good time to be one of the best first basemen in the MLB.
25 All-Time Best Shortstops in Baseball History
Shortstops are typically known for their quick reflexes, arm accuracy, contact, and speed, but the best shortstops of all-time took those skills to the next level – and added some skills in the process. They not only embody what the position stands for, but what the sport stands for.
A shortstop positions himself between second and third base. He is generally considered the captain of the infield, which means he leads the way with communication – especially with balls hit in the air. This communication can be the difference between a win and a loss in baseball.
If you plan on playing this position, expect to play a crucial role in double plays. When a ball is hit to the left, shortstops are usually the one fielding it and throwing it to second base for the first out. When hit to the right, the shortstop usually has to cover second base for the first out.
