MLB third base power rankings entering week 8

4. Maikel Garcia, Kansas City Royals

Garcia has had a quiet, but consistent, start to the season. He’s getting on base but hasn’t stolen as many bases compared to last season. As the season progresses, Garcia will start stealing more bases.

5. Jose Ramirez, Cleveland Guardians

Ramirez is having a good start to the season. He’s getting on base and stealing often. It’s only a matter of time before his slugging percentage increases.

6. Kazuma Okamoto, Toronto Blue Jays

Okamoto is off to a tremendous start in his first Major League season. Entering the week, he leads MLB third basemen in RBI and is tied for second in home runs. He’s been one of the main producers in Toronto’s lineup.

7. Nolan Arenado, Arizona Diamondbacks

Arenado is having a resurgence in his first season with Arizona. Hitting in the desert has helped the veteran third baseman. He can end the season with his best numbers in the past five years.

8. Miguel Vargas, Chicago White Sox

Vargas has been on the receiving end of bad luck, as many of his hits have been to fielders. However, his on-base percentage is one of the best among MLB third basemen. His production has aided in Chicago’s early-season success.

9. Manny Machado, San Diego Padres

Machado is having a slow start, but he’s produced with runners on base. The veteran has been one of the league’s best third basemen throughout his career. It’s only a matter of time before he goes on a tear.

10. Austin Riley, Atlanta Braves

Riley is quietly producing. He’s struggling to keep swings-and-misses in check, but he’s still finding ways to produce. As the season progresses, Riley will see his batting average and OBP increase.
