5 active MLB players with the most playoff appearances
#5. Joc Pederson: 79 postseason games
Joc Pederson made his debut as part of a Los Angeles Dodgers team that was just starting to dominate the NL West. The outfielder got postseason action from 2015 to 2020 and won the World Series in his last season with the club. Luckily, Pederson also competed in the 2021 postseason with the Atlanta Braves, who won it all. He has 29 RBIs with 12 home runs in 79 postseason games.
#4. Carlos Correa: 85 postseason games
The first one of the Astros' dynasty team, at least for the most part, to make the list is shortstop Carlos Correa. From 2015 to 2021, Correa played in 79 postseason games for the Astros, hitting 18 home runs and had 59 RBIs, coming in clutch when it most mattered. He has since featured in the playoffs for his current team, the Minnesota Twins, last year.
#3. Justin Turner: 86 postseason games
Justin Turner saw postseason action with the Dodgers for nine straight seasons. In 86 games, the first baseman has 42 RBIs and 13 home runs at a .270 batting average. His best efforts came in the National League pennant-winning 2017 season when he recorded 16 hits and 14 RBIs and received the NLCS MVP award.
#2. Alex Bregman: 97 postseason games
One of the two infielders of the Houston Astros dynasty, Alex Bregman, has been one of the keys to the team's success. In seven playoff seasons, the Astros third baseman has 54 RBIs and 19 home runs, batting at .234. Looking at things, Houston is definitely the favorite to reach their seventh consecutive postseason.
#1. Jose Altuve: 103 postseason games
Jose Altuve has been synonymous with the Houston Astros over the last decade. Even before their dominance began in 2017, Altuve made a postseason appearance with the team in 2015. He has a .273 batting average with 55 RBIs, including 27 home runs during his postseason run. He won the World Series in 2017 and 2022 and received the 2019 ALCS MVP award.
