The greatest third baseman in baseball history — three NL MVP awards, ten Gold Gloves and 548 home runs across an 18-year career with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Mike Schmidt is the greatest third baseman in baseball history. His combination of power hitting (548 home runs), extraordinary defensive ability (10 Gold Gloves) and clutch performances defined an 18-year career with the Philadelphia Phillies. He won three NL MVP awards and World Series MVP in 1980 — when he hit .381 against Kansas City. His ability to combine elite offensive and defensive performance simultaneously has never been matched at third base.
His combination of 548 home runs and 10 Gold Gloves is the best power-defence combination at third base in baseball history.
