Ryan Zimmerman has been a constant player for the Washington Nationals in Major League Baseball for the past sixteen years. He has been a valuable asset to the team, providing power and a solid batting average. While he may not be considered an elite player, he has performed better than the average Major League Baseball player. He has earned two Silver Sluggers, one Gold Glove, and made two All-Star Game appearances.
Zimmerman was a member of the Washington Nationals team that won the 2019 World Series Championship. He currently holds the record for the most games played (1,799), runs scored (964), hits (1,846), doubles (417), home runs (284), and RBIs (1,061) in the franchise's history.
Although he may not be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Nationals should honor him in some way for his contributions to the team.
