Adrián Beltré is a Dominican third baseman widely considered the greatest defensive third baseman in baseball history, a five-time Gold Glove Award winner whose footwork, range, and arm were legendary. His combination of 477 career home runs and exceptional defence — particularly after his revival with the Seattle Mariners in 2004 — earned him first-ballot Hall of Fame induction.
