Ryan Zimmerman Marquee

Washington took him fourth overall in June 2005, its first draft after the move from Montreal, and he was in the major leagues by September. He played all sixteen seasons for the club and leads it in every career batting category that matters: 1,846 hits, 284 home runs, 1,061 runs batted in, 417 doubles.

He lost the 2006 Rookie of the Year vote to Hanley Ramírez by four points, 105 to 101. He won two Silver Sluggers and a Gold Glove at third base, moved to first when the shoulder went, and was Comeback Player of the Year in 2017 at thirty-two after two seasons mostly spent injured.

The club lost 100 games twice while he was young and won the World Series in 2019, his fifteenth season, and he hit a home run in the first game of it. He was called Mr. Walk-off for a decade of them. He is not yet on a Hall of Fame ballot.
