The 2017 season marked a rejuvenation for Yasiel Puig, who not only matured in the clubhouse but set personal-bests in many categories, including home runs (28) and RBI (74).

He also emerged as one of the best defensive right fielders in all of baseball, and took home a Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award for his efforts. As a result, Puig placed seventh in MLB The Show 18’s rankings with a 79 overall rating.

To no surprise, Washington Nationals superstar Bryce Harper earned top honors with an 88 mark. Rounding out the top-five are Mookie Betts (87), Judge (86), Nelson Cruz (81) and Andrew McCutchen (81).

Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun checks in at No. 6 with an 80 overall, while Josh Reddick (79), Avisail Garcia (79) and Jay Bruce (76) precede Puig at Nos. 8-10 to complete the list.
