Jeff Kent is in his 10th and final year on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. Did he do enough in his 17-year career to get in?
During the 10-year stretch from 1997 to 2006, which included stints with the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers, he led all second basemen with at least 3,000 plate appearances in home runs, RBI, slugging percentage, OPS+ and WAR.
Kent also had over 20 home runs and 100 RBI in eight different seasons. Among second basemen, Hornsby accomplished that feat just five times while no other players did it more than four times.Despite his prolific power numbers, Kent has a few marks against him.
