American Hall of Famer and the most feared right-handed power hitter of the late 1980s and early 1990s, whose 449 home runs and four consecutive Silver Slugger awards defined the Houston Astros Killer B era.

Jeff Bagwell was one of baseball's most feared hitters of the 1990s, the 1994 NL MVP who combined exceptional power with an elite on-base percentage in an unorthodox wide-open stance. His combination of 449 career home runs, over 1,500 RBI, and outstanding defensive first base made him one of the most complete first basemen in baseball history. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017 alongside Craig Biggio, he was a pillar of Houston's franchise.
