Travis Hafner would win the Slugging and OPS Title in 2006 and for a few seasons with the Cleveland Indians would put up good power numbers and would bat over .300 three consecutive seasons. After the age of thirty, he would succumb to injuries and was not the same player but still holds the distinction of being the player from North Dakota who has the most Home Runs. Not a bad title to have!

A two time All Star, Ted Lilly had three consecutive fifteen win seasons and made the All Star Game twice. Lilly was never considered an ace, but for years was a valuable member of many starting pitching staffs.

Known mostly for being a Starting Pitcher with the Chicago Cubs, Ryan Dempster was a two time All Star who amassed over 2,000 Strikeouts over his career. Dempster would win the World Series in his final year in baseball as a member of the Boston Red Sox in 2013.

In the mid-2000s, Roy Oswalt was considered one of the top pitchers in the National League. “Os” would have five seasons where he was voted in the top five in National League Cy Young balloting and it was his arm that won the NLCS MVP in 2005 getting Houston to their lone World Series appearance.
