With the Super Bowl in the books, baseball season is about to be upon us! That means it’s time for pitchers and catchers to report to their respective camp sites in Florida and Arizona. The Chicago Cubs were the first team to have players start reporting in Mesa, Arizona, on Sunday, meaning we can all look forward to the hope of a new season.

As we get ready for the 2025 season, we’re going to rank the top ten players at each position around the diamond (and designated hitters) and then look at the top pitchers in the game. Today, we’re starting with a lap around the infield.

Top 10 First Basemen

10. Paul Goldschmidt, New York Yankees 9. Nathaniel Lowe, Washington Nationals 8. Pete Alonso, New York Mets 7. Yandy Díaz, Tampa Bay Rays 6. Michael Busch, Chicago Cubs 5. Christian Walker, Houston Astros 4. Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., Toronto Blue Jays 3. Matt Olson, Atlanta Braves 2. Bryce Harper, Philadelphia Phillies 1. Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles Dodgers
