They&#8217;re the cut-off position for balls hit to the right side of the outfield. Let&#8217;s take a look at the 10 best second basemen of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. Rod Carew<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rod Carew is one of the best second basemen of all time, earning 18 All-Star appearances in 19 seasons with the Minnesota Twins and California Angels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the greatest hitters of all-time Carew was a seven-time AL batting champion. A phenomenal contact-hitter Rod Carew&#8217;s stats were 3,053 hits, a career batting average of .328 and 1,424 runs scored.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Jackie Robinson<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jackie Robinson broke down baseball&#8217;s color line in 1947 helping end 60 years of segregation. Across a 10-year career Robinson earned six All-Star selections. He was twice the National League leader for stolen bases and in 1949, was batting champion and MVP.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robinson featured in the Brooklyn Dodgers first ever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolfgangsport.com\/most-world-series-wins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Series championship<\/a>\u00a0in 1955. One of the best defensive second basemen ever, he was exceptionally quick around the bases, was tough and extremely intelligent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Chase Utley<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chase Utley is one of the best second basemen of all time.

Despite his 5-foot-9 and 170-pound stature he was strong, agile, tenacious and had a massive fielding range. Collins was also one of the greatest at stealing bases and twice achieved six stolen bases in a single game, an MLB record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He could do almost everything on the field however he lacked a power game. As most of his career was played during the deadball era it mattered little. Collins won six World Series with five of those while at the Philadelphia Athletics, and he retired with a career batting average of .333.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.
