Last year, 17 first basemen finished with more than 500 at-bats. Five of those players (Jonathan Schoop, D.J. LeMahieu, Jake Cronenworth, Ty France and Ryan Mountcastle) saw many at-bats at other positions. Only five first basemen had over 200 combined runs and RBI: Vladimir Guerrero (234), Freddie Freeman (203), Paul Goldschmidt (201), Matt Olson (212) and Jose Abreu (203). Ten first basemen finished with 30 home runs or more.
