Andrelton Simmons was a top defensive infielder when he was with the Atlanta Braves, and he brought that skill to Los Angeles when he was traded to the Angels after the 2015 Season.

Simmons had a good 2016 but rattled off three straight Gold Gloves (2016-18) and two Wilson Defensive Player Awards (2017 & 2018).  2017 was especially impressive, as Simmons led the American League in Defensive bWAR with 5.1.  He had a career-high 164 Hits that year and was eighth in MVP voting.  Simmons left L.A. for Minnesota as a Free Agent before the 2021 Season.

Simmons had 592 Hits and a Defensive bWAR of 12.1 as an Angel.
