Geraldo Perdomo, the shortstop for the Arizona Diamondbacks, has been named to the MLB Network's top 100 players list for the 2026 season. This is a significant achievement, as Perdomo was not on the list last year. The announcement was made on Monday Night, revealing spots 40-21, and Perdomo came in at No. 24. He outperformed Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (27) and Philadelphia Phillies' Trea Turner (25).
Perdomo's impressive 2025 season included a .290/.389/.462 batting average, 20 home runs, and 100 RBIs, earning him his first Silver Slugger award and a fourth-place finish in the National League MVP voting. This success has propelled him into the spotlight, and he will represent the Dominican Republic at the 2026 World Baseball Classic in March, alongside teammate Ketel Marte.
While Perdomo's talent is undeniable, it's worth noting that other D-backs players, such as Marte and Corbin Carroll, have yet to be included in the top 100 list. The remaining spots, 20-11, will be revealed on Wednesday at 6 p.m., and the top 10 will be announced on Thursday at the same time.
