Rangers win

The Texas Rangers established themselves as the best team in Major League Baseball after beating the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games.

The best players

Corey Seager established himself as one of the premier players in the MLB, creating a legacy of excellent regular season and postseason play.

Leading the way

In the season finale, Seager led his Rangers to victory, hitting three home runs and driving home six runs, posting a 1.137 OPS.

MVP

His legendary performance in the World Series earned Seager the World Series MVP award, the second of his career.

Dodgers MVP

Seager won his first World Series MVP award for the Los Angeles Dodgers, leading the them to their first World Series title since 1988.

Leading LA

While leading the Dodgers to their first championship in nearly 30 years, Seager hit .347/.439/.816 with seven home runs and 16 RBIs.

Two MVPs

His second World Series MVP has put Seager in legendary company, joining Reggie Jackson, Bob Gibson, and Sandy Koufax as the fourth player to win multiple World Series MVPs.

MLB royalty

The shortstop has joined MLB royalty, but Seager wanted to deflect the praise away from himself and focus on the organization.

'It's not just me'

According to espn.co.uk, Seager said: "It truly is incredible, but it's not just me, man. What this team did and how we competed and all the guys in there rallying, we don't really have one leader. That whole clubhouse is the leadership."

'Pretty special group'

Speaking on being the fourth player to win multiple MVPs, Seager said: "I don't think you can ever fathom that. It's a pretty special group to be part of."

Hitting homers

Seager has a .858 career playoff OPS with 19 home runs and 48 RBIs in 78 games. His six home runs in 18 World Series games are twice as many as any other shortstop.

Regular season stats

The four-time MLB All-Star has put up dynamite numbers in the regular and postseason, averaging .327/.390/.623 with 33 home runs and 96 RBIs in the regular season.

Postseason stats

In the playoffs this season, he had a .318 batting average, hitting six home runs and 12 RBIs over 17 games in the postseason.

'One of the greatest'

Speaking on ESPN's First Take, veteran ESPN baseball analyst Tim Kurkjian said, "He's one of the greatest postseason players that we've ever seen."

'This was ridiculous'

"He's got more World Series home runs now than Reggie Jackson, and Derek Jeter's the only shortstop with more career homers in the postseason. It was ridiculous how good Corey Seager was this year."

Is he the best?

With another season of finishing on top of the pile in the postseason, is it time to admit that Corey Seager is the greatest postseason player in the modern era of baseball?
