Part 6/11:
For the third base position, Greg Nettles emerges as an overlooked candidate. Not having played a full season until age 25, Nettles still managed to compile over 2,200 hits and show outstanding defensive ability with a 21.4 defensive WAR, the fifth highest for any third baseman. Historically overlooked by the voting committees, Nettles's credentials warrant more recognition now, particularly in light of recent discussions surrounding modern analytics.
