Christian Yelich finally bounced back last season and showed some glimpses of his former MVP self, having his best season with the Brewers since the 2019 season. In his age 31 season, Yelich had a slash line of .278/.370/.447 along with 19 HR, 76 RBI, and 28 stolen bases. He also finished the year with a 122 wRC+ and a 4.1 WAR, a huge improvement compared to his last three seasons.

On Wednesday, MLB Network revealed their top 10 left fielder list and it turned a lot of heads. They ranked the Brewers leftfielder 8th in the league, here's the full list from them.

Now that you've seen MLB's top 10 left fielder list, here's my top 10 list heading into Opening Day along with their 2024 projected stats via Fangraphs.

Here are three honorable mentions that did not make my top 10 list: Daulton Varsho (Toronto Blue Jays), Matt Wallner (Minnesota Twins), Evan Carter (Texas Rangers).

With a long 162 games ahead of us, this list is due to change during the season as some names will get bumped up and other players would be bumped down or even replaced. With Yelich slowly improving last season, will we see even more glimpses of MVP Christian Yelich that we know?
