Carlos Beltran played 20 years in MLB with a reputation retiring with very impressive career stats of a 70.1 WAR, 2725 hits, 565 doubles, 435 home runs, 1587 RBI, and 312 stolen bases. He is one of only 4 players in MLB history along with A-Rod, Bonds, and Mays to accumulate 2,500+ hits, 400+ homers, 300+ stolen bases and 1,000+ walks.
Arguably one of the greatest post-season batters of all time, "Señor Octubre" hit .307 with 16 home runs and 42 RBI in 65 post-season games. Only Beltran and Bonds have hit 8 home runs in a single post-season, and only Beltran and Jose Altuve have scored 21 runs in a single-postseason.
A 9 time All-Star, 3 time Gold Glove winner and 2 time Silver Slugger, Beltran won the 2013 Roberto Clemente Award for his work founding the Carlos Beltrán Baseball Academy in his native Puerto Rico. Beltran also played for team Puerto Rico 4 times in the World Baseball Classic.
More recently Beltran has come under fire for his role in the now infamous 2017 Houston Astros sign stealing scandal. Will this impact his HOF chances? Will his career stats land him in Cooperstown? Listen while Russell makes the case!
