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 maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  We are pleased to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Dodgers.

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

1.  Duration and Impact.

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

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Dodgers did exactly what many predicted.  They won the 2025 World Series in a thrilling seven-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.  Despite the Dodgers’ lengthy tenure, there were three new entrants and one significant rise.  There was actually a fourth new entrant, who rose due to the new algorithm.

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

1. Clayton Kershaw
2. Sandy Koufax
3. Jackie Robinson
4. Don Drysdale
5. Duke Snider

You can find the entire list here.

Mookie Betts, who came off another good season, jumped to #21 from #31.

Freddie Freeman, who is a former MVP, joins the list at #39.

Debuting on the list is Shohei Ohtani, who may only have been a Dodger for two years, but won MVPs and World Series rings in both of them. He is ranked #47.

Also notable, Kevin Brown returns to the list due to the new algorithm.  He is ranked at #48.

The last new entrant is Max Muncy.  He debuts at #50.

Ramon Martinez, Matt Kemp, Babe Herman, and Andre Ethier fell off the Top 50.

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 Los Angeles Dodgers.

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 Dodgers went all in on Shohei Ohtani, and it paid off immediately with the Los Angeles winning the World Series, by defeating the New York Yankees.  Amazingly, there were no new entrants based on 2024, though Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman were close.  Despite winning the MVP, on a team as old and as successful as the Dodgers, Ohtani is not ranked.

As always, we present our top five, which saw two changes based on the new algorithm.

1. Clayton Kershaw

2. Jackie Robinson

3. Sandy Koufax

4. Don Drysdale

5. Duke Snider

You can find the entire list here.

Within the top five, Robinson rockets up to #2 from #6.   His importance in the game could easily place him at the top, but that is another list completely.

Mookie Betts shot up from #46 to #31 and with the new algorithm, Outfielder Andre Ethier comes in at #50.

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 Dodgers.

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 Dodgers had another great year, with a playoff run, but in their current state, anything other than a World Series Championship is a failure.  The 2023 season gave us one new entry.

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

1. Clayton Kershaw

2. Sandy Koufax

3. Duke Snider

4. Don Drysdale

5. Dazzy Vance

This is one of the hardest lists to do, and we know positioning Kershaw at the top is controversial considering the legends that he beat out.  Statistically, we can defend it, but in terms of overall legacy, it would be different. 

The lone new entrant was last year’s National League runner-up, Mookie Betts, who debuts at #44.

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

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

One of the most celebrated franchises in all sports, the Los Angeles Dodgers were initially the Brooklyn Grays in 1883, but it was a long time before they found an identity.

The organization changed its name multiple times since its origin, the Atlantics (1884), back to the Grays (1885-87), then the Bridegrooms (1888-90), the Grooms (1991-95), the Bridegrooms again (1895-98, the Superbas (1899-1910), the Trolley Dodgers (1911-12), then the Dodgers (1913), the Robins (1914-1931), before settling on the Dodgers again in 1932.  

The Brooklyn Dodgers would sign Jackie Robinson to integrate baseball, and in 1955, on their eighth attempt, they finally won their first World Series.

The fans of Brooklyn were not rewarded for their loyalty and patience, and like the crosstown New York Giants, westward the Dodgers went in 1957, where they remain to this day.

In Los Angeles, the Dodgers won three World Series Titles in their first ten years in the new environment, capturing it all in 1959, 1963, and 1965.  The 1970s saw them competitive at the decade's end, and they won two more Championships in the 1980s (1981 and 1988).  

In recent years, the Dodgers have been a top team, with their last World Series win coming in 2020, giving them seven in total.

Our Top 50 lists in Baseball 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 not reflected in a stat sheet.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2022 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Clayton Kershaw

2.  Sandy Koufax

3. Christy Mathewson

4. Duke Snider

5. Dazzy Vance

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.  

Look for our more material coming soon!

As always, we thank you for your support.

A raw, high-upside talent from Compton, Duke Snider was a local California kid who would eventually become the definitive power source for the legendary "Boys of Summer." While he navigated the immense pressure of batting third in a lineup filled with future Hall of Famers, he quickly established that his left-handed stroke was the primary engine of the franchise’s offensive output.

The initial chapter of his tenure was defined by a steady ascent alongside fellow pioneer Jackie Robinson, securing a permanent spot in the starting outfield by 1949. Though he faced early criticism for his strikeout totals and a late-season slump during the 1951 pennant race, Snider maintained a professional focus that transformed him into one of the most feared hitters of the decade. By 1953, he had harnessed his power to an elite degree, beginning a historic run of four consecutive seasons with at least 40 home runs. This steady production made him the only player in the 1950s to reach that plateau in four straight years, providing a high-quality baseline of power that few in the sport could rival.

Snider reached a remarkable ceiling of individual production between 1953 and 1956, a stretch that solidified his place in the "Willie, Mickey, and the Duke" debate of New York center fielders. During this peak, he captured the 1955 RBI title with 136 runs driven in, leading the Dodgers to their first and only World Series championship in Brooklyn. He followed that by winning the 1956 home run crown with 43 blasts while also leading the National League in walks and on-base percentage. His impact was reflected in his perennial All-Star selections and five separate top-ten finishes in the MVP voting, proving he was the central gear in the most potent offense of the era.

His tenure was further defined by a mastery of the spotlight during the Fall Classic, where he consistently raised his game. He set a specialized record by hitting four home runs in two different World Series (1952 and 1955), a feat of postseason power that anchored the middle of the order when the stakes were highest. Whether he was robbing hitters of extra bases with his athleticism in center field or driving the ball into the Bedford Avenue structures, he provided a versatility that allowed the Dodgers to dominate the National League. This reliability translated into 1,995 hits and a career .300 batting average during his time in the organization.

The later stages of his career featured a shift toward a leadership role as the franchise transitioned to Los Angeles in 1958. While the dimensions of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and nagging injuries began to limit his offensive volume, his veteran presence remained a value to the clubhouse. He remained a high-quality contributor during the 1959 championship run, helping the club secure its first title on the West Coast as a respected elder statesman.

His Dodgers run ended when his contract was sold to the New York Mets in 1963.  As a Dodger, he had 389 home runs and 1,271 RBIs and was finally inducted in 1980. He remained an icon of the franchise long after his retirement, seeing his number 4 raised to the rafters the same year he entered Cooperstown.
