Mathews may be the best of the three some in the first induction class.

Chosen 4th, but not signed, by Milwaukee in the 2010 draft, Mathews went to the Tigers as the second pick in 2012. He won Rookie of the Year in 2012 by leading the league with 44 HR in only 123 games. Milwaukee fan can take comfort that he didn't leave them for Atlanta.

A 4 time MVP, he led the league in HR 6 times, and hit 40+ HR 9 times in his career.

He won the WS with the Tigers in 2014 and 2016, along with classmate Carew.

On Sept 21, 2021, he collected his 500th HR while going 6 for 6 at the plate.

In 2024 he won his third WS, this time with Tampa.

Mathews is #1 in both career WAR and VORP. Paul Goldschmidt is second in VORP and 4th in WAR. Carew is 10th in VORP and 12th in WAR.

Mathews ranks 6th on the career hit list, 2nd in HR, RBI and R, 1 spot behind Rod Carew for 5th place in doubles, and tied for 53rd in triples.

He has a career slash line of 295/397/581 (70th/9th/9th).

A 13 time All Star, Mathews won 4 GG at 3B. He enters the HOF at the age of 47.
