Andrelton Simmons

Andrelton Simmons is one of those players where you watch him field a ground ball and immediately forget to care about his batting average. Growing up in Curaçao and making his way through Western Oklahoma State College before landing in the majors — that's already a wild journey — and then once he got there with Atlanta he just redefined what shortstop defense could look like. Multiple Gold Gloves, absurdly highlight-reel range, the kind of arm that made third-base coaches nervous. His offensive numbers were never flashy, but the dude was out there saving runs every single game in ways that box scores can barely capture. Later stints with the Angels, Twins, and Cubs felt a little like watching a chess grandmaster on diminishing teams, but the glove never really lied. A quietly extraordinary player.
