Spring training camps are underway, which means it is time to look at the state of baseball.

The objective of this exercise is to identify the best players for the 2025 season, not who might be best in five years or over their career. We will roll out a position per day over the next two weeks. Here’s the rest of the schedule: catchers, first basemen, second basemen, third basemen, shortstops, center fielders (Tuesday), designated hitters (Wednesday), starting pitchers (Thursday) and relievers (Friday).

Who are the top corner outfielders in baseball? Let’s dig in.
