Our All Time Top 50 Texas Rangers have been revised to reflect the 2024 Season.
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Texas Rangers.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Rangers went 78-84, and failed to build on their previous World Series win. There were no new additions, but two significant elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw one change based on the new algorithm.
5. Buddy Bell
You can find the entire list here.
Within the top five, Beltre went past Gonzalez for #3 and Bell reached this elite group from #7. Both changes were based on the new calculations.
Corey Seager advanced to #23 from #28.
Marcus Semien climbed to #25 from #36.
Notably, Adolis Garcia did not advance from #35.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out, and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post-2022/23 revision of our top 50 Texas Rangers.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, very few expected the Rangers to make the playoffs, let alone win the World Series, but they shocked the world and won it all. This led to three new entrants and one elevation.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes.
5. Frank Howard
You can find the entire list here.
The first of the three new entrants is Shortstop Corey Seager, who was the World Series MVP and an All-MLB 1 Selection in 2023.
Outfielder and two-time All-Star Adolis Garcia makes his first appearance at #35.
Second Baseman Marcus Semien is the last new entry, debuting at #36. Like Seager, He was also an All-MLB 1 Selection in 2023.
The only elevation was Pitcher Martin Perez, who advanced two spots to #43.
As always, we thank you for your support, and look for more revisions in the future.
23. Corey Seager
Corey Seager was the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series hero in 2020. On the same day that the Texas Rangers signed Marcus Semien to be their Second Baseman, they landed Seager, giving them the double-play tandem that few could rival.
Seager had a solid debut campaign for Texas, earning All-Star honors and blasting 33 Home Runs, which was a personal best. In 2023, Seager put forth 33 Home Runs again but had his best year to date 2ith a league-leading 42 Doubles and career-highs in the Slash Line: .327/.390/.623 and had his first OPS over one (1.012). Not only was Seager an All-Star, but he also won his first Silver Slugger since 2017 and was the runner-up for the MVP, his highest finish. As good as Seager was in the regular season, he had an incredible playoff, where he belted six Home Runs and won the World Series MVP.
Seager had another excellent campaign in 2024, which brought him a third staright All-Star and 30 Home Run year.
