Jon Berti was taken with the Toronto Blue Jays in the 19th Round in 2011, but despite his low selection, he eventually made it to the Majors, appearing in four Games for Toronto in 2018. He was a Free Agent after, and was signed to a Minor League deal by the Miami Marlins.
Berti proved valuable with his defensive versatility, and the Marlins used him in the Outfield, Third and Second. A light hitter, Berti showed speed, and he with increased playing time, he won the National League Stolen Base Title (41), and is arguably the most unlikely winner in this category in NL history.
Going into 2024, Berti is over 30, and may not climb much more on this list, but his effort to get here at all is very impressive.
