Week Four MLB Player Power Rankings for Hitters
By Manny Gómez
Four weeks into the baseball season and hitters are already setting milestones, breaking records, and accomplishing feats rarely seen before. Here are your Week-4 MLB Player Power Rankings.
Before we break into the Week-4 MLB Player Power Rankings for hitters, let’s start off by recapping a great accomplishment that occurred in week-4 of the 2019 season.
During week-4, baseball fans were treated to TWO major milestones accomplished by Los Angeles Angels veteran Albert Pujols. After passing Babe Ruth (1993) on the all-time RBI list during week-3, Pujols’ sites were set on passing Lou Gehrig (1995) and Barry Bonds (1996) next.
In week-4, “The Machine” did just that by recording 4 RBIs, placing him alone in 3rd place with 1997 RBI. He trails Alex Rodriguez, who has 2086 RBI and holds the sole position of 3rd place.
With 2-years remaining on his contract after this, if healthy, Pujols should be able to pass A-Rod. not only that, he might actually have a chance to become the all-time RBI king. He needs just 89 RBI to tie A-Rod, 300 to tie the all-time RBI leader Hank Aaron.
Now, with that out of the way, let’s move on to the Week-4 MLB Player Power Rankings for hitters. At the end of this slide show, feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.
