50 Most Handsome Baseball Players in 2023

Baseball players have been idealized as hulking figures ever since Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Those men at the stadium always make you think, “Man, my arms would get tired swinging that bat!”

However, home runs and strikeouts have skyrocketed recently, while batting averages and ERAs have plummeted. And it appears to be all because of the new crop of leaner players. Thus, it is not surprising that this new fad attracts a lot of interest from women in the city, who before might not have paid much attention to baseball games.

Today’s top baseball players are slimmer and more elegant than their predecessors. Some of them appear like they could run a marathon, while others are barely human. However, one thing they all share is the ability to hit, run, and field with the grace and precision of Kung Fu masters.

Here are the baseball stars of the moment, from Cal Ripken Jr. to Alex Rodriguez, who has made us cheer for their teams.
