Carlos Beltran, whose Houston Astros will begin the World Series tonight against the Los Angeles Dodgers, has a reputation as one of his generation’s greatest postseason performers, despite a lack of ring to show for his efforts.
In 253 postseason plate appearances, Carlos Beltran has a batting average of .311, an on-base percentage of .417, and a slugging percentage of .618. He has also stolen 11 bases in the playoffs without being caught once. Beltran has always been a great player in the regular season, and he will merit serious Hall of Fame consideration once his playing career is over.
