As of this writing, Infielder Ketel Marte has completed seven seasons for the Diamondbacks and his versatility in the infield has made him a valuable commodity for the team.  Marte made history as the first player in postseason history to have two triples in a game hit from both sides of the plate, which he accomplished in the 2017 National League Wildcard Game.  In 2018, he would lead the NL in Triples.  This was good, but he would break out in 2019, which skyrockets him us this list.

In 2019, Marte was an All-Star and he would finish fourth in MVP voting.  Marte was also second in bWAR (7.2), Hits (187), and Batting Average (.329).  Marte continued to be a solid roducer for Arizona, but  in 2023, would reemerge as a upper-star player, where he had his best year since 2019.  That season, he had 157 Hits, batted .276, and helped the Diamondback s win the National League Pennant.  Marte is closing in on the top five, and should be there in one year.
