Top 10 Designated Hitters of All Time

The greatest DH is David Ortiz. I know many claim Edgar Martinez, but look at Papi's postseason and that sets him apart. A lot of these other guys played multiple positions. If Frank Thomas had played his entire career at DH, then he'd be #1 with his numbers.

In no particular order:

Paul Molitor


Don Baylor

David Ortiz

Edgar Martinez

Frank Thomas

Harold Baines

Chili Davis

Brian Downing

Hal McRae

Andre Thornton
