Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022/23 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Angels.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Angels went all in and imploded with another failure to make the playoffs.  We only saw one change, and no new entries.

As always, we present our top five, which saw one major change.

1. Mike Trout

2. Nolan Ryan

3. Chuck Finley

4. Shohei Ohtani

5. Frank Tanana

You can find the entire list here.

Notably, Trout was already at the top of the list, and with Shohei Ohtani departing the club, his status at #1 is cemented for decades. 

Ohtani made it to #4 from #12.  As mentioned, he left the struggling Angels for a shot at the World Series with the Dodgers.

As always, we thank you for your support, and look for more revisions in the future. 

Mookie Betts was a star with the Boston Red Sox, and a lot of heads were scratched in New England when they traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers.  They will remain befuddled to the end of time.

In the COVID- shortened 2020 season, Betts achieved a historic milestone, guiding the Dodgers to their first World Series title in 32 years and finishing as the runner-up for the National League MVP. He earned both a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger in his first NL season. By 2022, after a brief period affected by injuries, he returned to his top form, hitting 35 home runs and placing fifth in MVP voting, once again collecting all the major awards for right fielders.

In 2023, he authored a season that saw him expand his primary professional role into the infield. He reached a career-high with 39 home runs, drove in 107 runs, and batted .307, finishing second in a historic MVP race. More importantly, he began his tactical transition to second base and shortstop, demonstrating that his athleticism was a specialized asset capable of resolving any defensive crisis. He continued with a 2024 campaign that solidified his second championship with the team, earning his fourth consecutive All-Star selection as a Dodger and an additional Silver Slugger award, while serving as the primary lead-off hitter for a world-title contending squad.

The 2025 campaign presented certain challenges; however, as anticipated, Betts demonstrated resilience and adaptability. Despite managing a localized hand fracture that temporarily incapacitated him during part of the summer season, he made a commendable return, culminating in receiving the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award in 2025. On the playing field, he exhibited consistent proficiency at shortstop throughout nearly the entire season, ultimately being nominated as a Gold Glove finalist for his defensive excellence and contributing significantly to the Dodgers’ attainment of another World Series Championship. Entering the winter of 2025, he had already secured his seventh career Silver Slugger Award, a testament to his enduring excellence and status as a prominent figure in the game well into his thirties.

Through 2025, Betts has compiled 1,772 hits, 293 home runs, and three World Series titles in Los Angeles.

Imagine how high on this list he would be if he only wore Dodger blue!

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Astros again were World Series contenders, and made the playoffs.  There were no new entrants, but four Astros climbed the list.

As always, we present our top five, which did not change.

1. Jeff Bagwell

2. Craig Biggio

3. Jose Altuve

4. Lance Berkman

5. Cesar Cedeno

You can find the entire list here.

Notably, Altuve remains at number three, and still has a way to go to overtake Biggio at #2, but he has it in him to not only do that, but snatch #1 from Bagwell.

Future first ballot Hall of Fame Pitcher, Justin Verlander, was traded back to the Astros during the season and did enough to climb from #11 to #9.

Infielder, Alex Bregman, went up three spots from #14 to #11.

Offensive stud, Yordan Alvarez shot up from #37 to #27.

The final change is Kyle Tucker, who climbed to #33 from #45.

As always, we thank you for your support, and look for more revisions in the future.

1. George Brett

2. Bret Saberhagen

3. Willie Wilson

4. Kevin Appier
