Tony Gwynn

I love Tony Gwynn, but he isn’t even close to a top 5 hitter of all time. You simply can’t take him over any number of guys that hit for power with average.

And for as wonderful as Tony Gwynn is, poor Rod Carew seems largely forgotten. But Carew and Gwynn are pretty remarkable historical offensive comps:

Gwynn
PA: 10,232
H: 3,141
Runs: 1,383
HR: 135
RBI: 1,138
SB: 319
BA: .338
OBP: .388
SLG: .459
Batting Titles: 8

Carew
PA: 10,550
H: 3,053
Runs: 1,424
HR: 92
RBI: 1,015
SB: 353
BA: .328
OBP: .393
SLG: .429
Batting Titles: 7
