The WHEBO All-Decade Team (2020-2029)

 

 

Notes:

Players must have at least 6 seasons (half the decade) on the ML level to be considered for this list. Players’ teams are generally listed with the most games/seasons played in bold and then other teams played for (not necessarily in order of the player’s career.

Teams consist of 25 hitters and 15 pitchers. There are many pitchers who are very good that didn’t make the teams as I tried to base players’ selections on WAR (SP’s), winning % (RP’s), and then saves. I used a traditional 5-man rotation for starting pitchers.

Jordan Villasenor is the one anomaly as his numbers are very close when comparing his 5 seasons in Ottawa and 5 seasons in Montreal, so he is listed in bold for both teams.
