The current group of center fielders is not as impressive as the group of corner outfielders, although there are players like Dylan Carlson who could slot on either list. Jarred Kelenic and Cristian Pache give the center field crop star power, but the group of young center fielders further down this list (Corbin Carroll, Brennen Davis, Robert Hassell, Alek Thomas and Pete Crow-Armstrong for example) means that this group may look even more impressive in 2022.
