With a towering 6-foot-6 height, an exceptionally deep release extension, and one of the largest hands in professional baseball, Logan Gilbert seems almost engineered to excel against modern MLB lineups. Drafted 14th overall by the Seattle Mariners in the first round of the 2018 amateur draft from Stetson University, this imposing right-hander quickly advanced through the minor leagues. By May 2021, he secured a permanent place in the major league rotation, bringing intense competitiveness and a high-velocity arsenal that quickly made him a key figure in the franchise’s pitching core.

Gilbert’s early years in the Emerald City were marked by quick adaptation and outstanding durability. After a 6–5 rookie season, he made a significant developmental jump in 2022, leveraging a fiery four-seam fastball to achieve a 13–6 record with a 3.20 ERA. His consistent performance under pressure was crucial to a historic team that ended Seattle's 21-year postseason drought. He confirmed his breakthrough with another 13-win season in 2023, becoming one of the most dependable young pitchers in the American League.

His standout achievement in efficiency came during a remarkable 2024 season, where he played at a top-tier superstar level. Despite a weak offensive team that resulted in a 9–12 record, Gilbert was virtually unhittable. He led the majors with 208.2 innings pitched and had an outstanding 0.887 WHIP, the best in baseball. His skill in handling critical moments earned him his first All-Star selection and a sixth-place finish in the American League Cy Young Award voting.

Gilbert, the Mariners' undisputed Opening Day starter, faced a challenging 2025 season after a right elbow flexor strain sidelined him for seven weeks during spring training. Upon returning in mid-June, the tall right-hander adapted his pitching approach, trading some endurance for a more aggressive, high-strikeout style. He relied on an elite, missing-barrel splitter and a career-high 35.3% slider usage, enabling him to strike out a career-best 32.3% of batters—a feat highlighted by a seven-inning, 13-strikeout performance against Oakland on August 24. He finished the regular season with a 6–6 record, a 3.44 ERA, and 173 strikeouts in 131 innings. He carried this momentum into October, earning a key victory over the Detroit Tigers in Game 3 of the ALDS, helping Seattle’s deep postseason run.

Heading into 2026, Gilbert might still be ahead of him.

1975 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:

Thank you for all of your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the years up to 1974.

For “1975,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1969. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

31 Votes took place, with the top fifteen advancing.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 St. Louis Cardinals.

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 the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

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

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Cardinals won 83 Games, but did not make the playoffs.  The rebuilding squad saw minimal movement in the top 50, and the only new entrant was based on the new algorithm.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes

1. Stan Musial

2. Albert Pujols

3. Rogers Hornsby

4. Bob Gibson

5. Ozzie Smith

You can find the entire list here.

The only new addition was Ripper Collins, who as discussed above, enters via the new system.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

A Cardinal for the entirety of his playing career, Terry Moore was a n excellent defensive Outfielder, who likely would have been a multi-time Gold Glove winner, had that been an accolade at the time.

Moore, who was named to four straight All-Stars (1939-42), was also a decent hitter with a lifetime Batting Average of .280 with 1,318 career Hits.  He also helped the Cards win the World Series in 1942 and 1946.
