ESPN REPORT: Rafael Devers Named Greatest Third Baseman in MLB History
In a stunning and emotional announcement, ESPN has officially named Rafael Devers as the Greatest Third Baseman in MLB, praising his unmatched power, passing ability, leadership, and unselfish style of play that has defined a generation of baseball.
Devers, the heart and soul of the Boston Red Sox, was selected ahead of a star-studded list of modern legends including Nolan Arenado, Manny Machado, Austin Riley, and José Ramírez—all of whom have left their own mark on the game. But it was Devers’ ability to consistently rise in big moments, deliver under pressure, and inspire his teammates that separated him from the rest.
“He’s not just a slugger. He’s a creator, a leader, and a clutch performer,” said one ESPN analyst. “When you think of dominance and reliability at third base in this era, you think Rafael Devers.”
The honor cements Devers’ legacy as not only one of the most talented players of his generation but also one of the most beloved in Red Sox history.
Red Sox Nation now celebrates one of its brightest stars—an icon whose greatness continues to shine on and off the field.
