The man they call the Machine reached the 700-home run club in 2022 and will finish his illustrious career as one of the all-time greatest hitters in the game. Pujols was an 11-time All-Star, three-time National League MVP and two-time World Series champion. The 42-year-old finishes with a .296/.374/.544 slash line, 703 homers, 2,218 RBI, 1,914 runs scored and 3,384 hits in 3,080 regular season games.
