gold star for USAHOF

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.

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

Originally acquired from Seattle as a teenager in the Adam Lind trade, the right-hander—affectionately known as "Fastball Freddy” made his MLB debut for the Brewers in 2018.

In his 2018 debut at Coors Field, Peralta reached a summit of immediate impact by striking out 13 batters, the most ever by a Brewer in their first Major League start; however, it was not until the 2021 campaign that he established himself as a potential top pitcher in the game.  That season, he went 10-5 with a 2.81 ERA, earned his first All-Star selection, and held opponents to a staggering .165 batting average.

Peralta demonstrated commendable performance over the subsequent three seasons; however, in 2025, he emerged as a Cy Young Award contender. He functioned as the principal catalyst for a Brewers rotation that achieved a franchise-record 97 wins, concluding the season with a personal best of 17 victories and an impressive 2.70 ERA. Throughout this period, he exhibited comprehensive command of the mound, recording 204 strikeouts and receiving the National League Pitcher of the Month accolade in August following a remarkable streak that included 30 consecutive scoreless innings.

Following his fifth-place finish in the 2025 Cy Young voting and with only one year of team control remaining, the organization finalized a blockbuster trade that sent Peralta to the New York Mets.  In his eight seasons in Milwaukee, Peralta had a 71-45 record, a 3.58 ERA, and 1,195 strikeouts.
