Notable

Superlatives over the seasons published here, not over whole careers.

The All-American Team

The best player born in the United States at each position since 2015, by the dbWAR he produced there. Positions nobody has filled are left open.

And on the mound

How this is picked. Each player is filed at the one position he appeared at most often — so a shortstop who spent two years at third is a shortstop, and cannot hold both slots — and the spot goes to whoever produced the most dbWAR there. The figure on a card is therefore the value at that position rather than the career total shown elsewhere on this page: they differ for anyone who moved. Starting and relieving are counted separately for the same reason, on the share of each season's appearances that were starts. A slot needs 100 plate appearances or 20 innings to be claimed at all, which keeps a September call-up from becoming a first baseman. 945 position players are eligible here, with 439 starters and 997 relievers.

In the majors now

1,066 American-born players were on a major-league roster in 2026. Every column sorts.

About this page

3,094 major-league players born in the United States appear in this archive, between 2015 and 2026. 1,066 of them were on a major-league roster in 2026, up from 977 in 2015. Together they are worth 7874.5 dbWAR, on 42,385 home runs and 353,510 strikeouts thrown.

The most valuable of them by our own measure is Mike Trout, worth 63.5 dbWAR across 2015–2026. The best single season belongs to Aaron Judge, 11.9 WAR in 2024. Alex Rodriguez has been in the majors longest of anyone here, since 1994.

Aaron Judge has hit the most home runs, 386. Max Scherzer has thrown the most strikeouts, 2,222. The hardest ball anyone from here has struck came off Giancarlo Stanton's bat at 122.2 mph, in 2021. These are totals over the seasons published here rather than whole careers: a player who debuted before 2015 arrives mid-career, and his numbers start where the archive does.

Houston has produced 60 of them, more than anywhere else in United States. In 2026 they are spread across 6 clubs, 46 of them with San Francisco Giants.

Country here means country of birth, taken from each player's biographical record. It is not nationality and not who a player has represented internationally — the three disagree often enough to matter, and birthplace is the one this data actually holds. Every rate statistic and every dbWAR figure is computed from play-by-play using constants measured from each season's own data, so the numbers are era-correct without being copied from anywhere.
