MLB is full of good first basemen. It's a very deep position with stars like Freddie Freeman, reigning National League MVP Paul Goldschmidt, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and many others.These players are often dual threats, anchoring an infield defense and hitting in the middle of the order. The position group has three of the past six MVP awards given out, with Goldschmidt, Abreu and Freeman taking home hardware.MLB Network followers voted on the top players for the position in the league.MLB Network@MLBNetworkThe full #Top10RightNow at first base Do you agree with @MLBNow's list?41642The full #Top10RightNow at first base ⬇️Do you agree with @MLBNow's list? https://t.co/yaWsp4MgSlIn order, they are:Paul GoldschmidtFreddie FreemanVladimir Guerrero Jr.Jose AbreuPete AlonsoMatt OlsonTy FranceNathaniel LoweLuis ArraezRhys HoskinsMLB fans have their disagreements with this list, including the order, the players on it and more.

WowNavy the Kobalts Fan@KobaltsNavy@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Why does everyone always have Arraez so low? I know he is a utility man and not really a first baseman, but the dude can hit@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Why does everyone always have Arraez so low? I know he is a utility man and not really a first baseman, but the dude can hitA common refrain was the surprise of one omission: Anthony Rizzo. The New York Yankees first baseman has been an All-Star and a consistent force on both sides of the ball, but fans were shocked to find he's not considered among the top 10.Another common refrain was the placement of Pete Alonso. Many felt he was underrated on this list and should have easily been above Jose Abreu. Others even felt like he was rated too highly.What wasn't a surprise to many was that Goldschmidt, Freeman and Guerrero were in the top three. They may have disagreed on the order, but the baseball world mostly agrees that those are the best of the best.Who were MLB's best first basemen in 2022?fWAR is currently MLB's best value stat. It can't definitively say one player is better than another (no stat can), but that's the closest thing.Christian Walker was great in 2022Per fWAR, these were the best first basemen last year:Freddie Freeman, 7.1Paul Goldschmidt, 7.1Christian Walker, 4.1Pete Alonso, 4.0Jose Abreu, 3.9Luis Arraez, 3.2Matt Olson, 3.1Nathaniel Lowe, 3.0Vladimir Guerrero Jr., 2.8Anthony Rizzo, 2.4They were arguably the best of the best at first base last season. Which ones will top the list after 2023?
