As the new MLB season draws near, the MLB Network has begun unveiling its Top 100 Right Now rankings, with the countdown starting last month when the network revealed the players ranked 81–100.

The recent release of rankings for players 41–80 included numerous breakout stars and standout players from across the league. Now, the network has revealed rankings for Nos. 21–40, which highlight some of the most prominent names in baseball.

At No. 35, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner made the list.

Fans are hopeful that Turner will regain his form in all areas during his third season with the Phillies, as he brings a well-rounded skill set across all five tools to the team.

Turner was sidelined for about a quarter of last season due to a hamstring injury during his second year with Philadelphia.

Before the injury, Turner was performing well, with a .343 batting average over his first 137 at-bats, alongside two home runs, nine RBIs, 10 stolen bases, and 27 runs. Once he returned from the injury, his power stroke came back, finishing the season with a .295/.338/.469/.807 slash line, 21 home runs, and 62 RBIs, helping the Phillies secure the National League East Division title. He also earned his third All-Star selection.

Turner signed a massive 11-year, $300 million deal with the Phillies in December 2022, but his performance has had its ups and downs. Despite posting a two-year slash line of .279/.328/.463/.791 with 47 home runs, 138 RBIs, and 49 stolen bases, some believe he hasn’t fully met the lofty expectations tied to his contract.

For example, his average hit rate (1.591) in 2023 was lower than the previous year’s (1.724), marking the second-lowest of his last three seasons.

Although Turner isn’t always a consistent power hitter, he has hit at least 20 home runs each of the past three seasons. If he can maintain that production, he’ll need to overcome statistics that show his hard-hit rate (40.2) and exit velocity (89.1 mph) have fallen to league-average levels for batters with 400 or more plate appearances.

Now entering his age 32 season with 11 years left on his contract, Turner may eventually experience a decline in power, but there’s enough versatility in his game to keep him a valuable asset for the Phillies well into the future.
