Reggie Smith

The 1977 campaign with Los Angeles represents his offensive peak — a .307 average with 32 homers and an OPS over 1.000. That 137 OPS+ tied his career high, showcasing the rare blend of contact and power that made him valuable in multiple lineup spots. Smith's seven All-Star selections weren't charity cases.

What separates Smith from typical sluggers of his era was his defensive versatility and Gold Glove recognition. He patrolled right field with enough skill to earn top honors while maintaining that 122 OPS+ across nearly 2,000 games. The longevity tells the story — teams kept penciling him in because he delivered both sides of the ball.
