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. Robin Yount
2. Paul Molitor
3. Ryan Braun
4. Cecil Cooper
5. Christian Yelich

We erroniously forgot to include Pitcher Freddy Peralta.  He is inserted at #20.

Brice Turang debuts on the list at #50.

Ken Sanders and Darryl Hamilton fell off the Top 50.

Christian Yelich, who won the MVP three years ago, moved up from #10 to #7.

Starting Pitcher, Brandon Woodruff, who went 13-4 last year climbed to #23 from #31.

Right behind him is fellow starter, Corbin Burnes, who rocketed to #24 from #43, was the 2021 Cy Young winner and finished seventh last year.  He went to the last two All-Star Games.

Closer, Josh Hader, who was traded to San Diego during the 2022 Season, inched up one position to #27.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

A first-round selection in 2010, Christian Yelich quickly developed into one of the most promising young talents in the National League, combining a technical mastery of the strike zone with an elite defensive range.

Yelich’s second season in 2013 showcased his exceptional talent, as he won the National League Gold Glove Award in left field, making him the youngest in franchise history to receive this honor. He combined excellent defense with strong batting, recording 165 hits and a .284 average during his first complete season.

Between 2016 and 2017, he had back-to-back seasons that marked his rise to league-wide stardom. In 2016, he demonstrated complete mastery at the plate, earning his first Silver Slugger Award after hitting 21 home runs and achieving a career-high 98 RBIs. He continued this strong performance in 2017, recording his second straight season with exactly 170 hits while maintaining a high on-base percentage.

In January 2018, the organization initiated a high-stakes rebuild following a change in ownership. On January 25, 2018, the Marlins traded Yelich to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for a package of young players, and Yelich promptly had the best two seasons in Milwaukee history.

With the Marlins, Yelich accrued 719 hits, 59 home runs, and a .290 batting average.

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 their respective League.

This is the first time that we have revised this specific list, which was first put up in 2016, and there are many changes, though none that are changing the top five.

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, which has altered the rankings considerably.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2019 Season.

1. Robin Yount

We had a debut of Christian Yelich, who despite only having completed two full seasons, won two Batting Titles, two OPS Titles and an MVP.  No Brewer has ever had back-to-back years like Yelich, who arrives on this list at #11.  Two-time All-Star, Corey Hart was overlooked in our original list.  He now appears at #25. Current Milwaukee Centerfielder, Lorenzo Cain debuts at #37.  Former 2000s infielder Bill Hall, who was previously overlooked, comes in at #49.

We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.

Before the 2018 season began, Christian Yelich arrived in Milwaukee as part of the Marlins’ consistent trend of unloading talent before they became too pricey.  While he was already a respected outfielder in Miami, his arrival at Miller Park triggered an offensive evolution that had no precedent in Brewers history.

The initial chapter of his tenure was a historic display of individual dominance that remains the gold standard for back-to-back performances in Milwaukee. In 2018, Yelich demonstrated a specialized mastery of the league to win the National League MVP, capturing the batting title (.326) and leading the circuit in slugging (.598) and OPS (1.000). He followed that with an even more efficient 2019 campaign, sweeping the slash line with a .329/.429/.671 performance and blasting 44 home runs in just 130 games. This two-year peak turned every at-bat into a marquee event, providing a high-quality floor that pushed the Brewers to consecutive postseason appearances.

Between 2020 and 2023, Yeloch navigated a series of physical setbacks that threatened his elite trajectory. While his production dipped in the shortened 2020 season and a mediocre 2021, he showed the organization technical perseverance by returning to health in 2022 and 2023. During this stretch, he remained a professional mainstay, recording over 150 hits and proving his tactical value as a leadoff threat.

Yelich had a remarkable "second act" during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, where he adapted his game to remain a high-caliber run producer despite chronic back issues. In 2024, he returned to All-Star form before surgery curtailed his season, but he authored a definitive comeback in 2025. That summer, primarily serving as a high-volume designated hitter, he demonstrated a specialized durability by appearing in 150 games, hammering 29 home runs, and recording his second career 100-RBI season (103). This late-career surge proved that while his MVP-level speed may have evolved, his technical mastery of the strike zone remained an elite franchise asset.

Entering the 2026 season, Yelich stands as the modern face of the Brewers, possessing a statistical footprint that includes two batting titles, three All-Star selections, and over 1,700 career hits.
