Single seasons with PA >= 3.1 x the league's scheduled games that year (the batting-title rule shape, applied era-consistently). Era adjustment is league-season normalization only, not park-adjusted; WAR-style value is tracked separately.

How this leaderboard is built

Legends Deck rates every second baseman using real 2026 Statcast data. For hitters, the key inputs are exit velocity, barrel rate, xwOBA, sprint speed, whiff rate, and chase rate. No scout opinions, no card-by-card tuning: the same fixed pipeline for every player.

Full methodology: How Legends Deck card ratings work. Or read the ranked breakdown: Best Second Basemen in MLB 2026.

The historical board above covers 1871-2025 and is built from the SABR/Lahman database (CC BY-SA): a season counts at a position when the player played the most games there that year, and seasons where pitching made up at least half of a player's games stay on the pitcher boards. Rankings use league-season-normalized OPS+ and ERA+ (no park adjustment); WAR-style value rankings are planned separately and not used here yet.
