Chipper Jones
He is one of the best switch-hitters in the history of baseball; He was a member of the 1995 World Series Champion Atlanta Braves
Jones' career was marked by numerous accolades, including eight All-Star selections and the 1999 National League (NL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award. He also won the Silver Slugger Award twice, in 1999 and 2000, for his outstanding offensive performance as a third baseman. In 2008, Jones led the league in batting average, hitting an impressive .364, which earned him the MLB batting title. His ability to hit for both power and average made him one of the most feared hitters of his era, and he finished his career with 468 home runs and 1,623 RBIs.
As a switch hitter, Jones achieved milestones that few others have reached. He is the only switch hitter in MLB history to finish his career with a batting average of at least .300 and 400 or more home runs. Additionally, he ranks second among switch hitters in career RBIs, trailing only Hall of Famer Eddie Murray. Jones also holds the Braves' franchise record for career on-base percentage (.402) and ranks third on the team's all-time home run list. His combination of power, consistency, and plate discipline made him a standout player throughout his career.
In recognition of his remarkable achievements, the Atlanta Braves retired Jones' number 10 jersey in 2013 and inducted him into the team's Hall of Fame. Five years later, in 2018, Jones was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, a testament to his lasting impact on the game. After retiring as a player, Jones continued to contribute to baseball, serving as an ESPN color analyst in 2020 and later returning to the Braves as an assistant hitting consultant in 2021.
