10 Years of Service Time: the Holy Grail for Players. Throughout history, fewer than 10% of Players have possessed the combination of talent, health, resilience, perseverance and good fortune to achieve the feat. We round out our April highlights with the most recent member to join the Ten Years fraternity: Trea Turner!

Turner was chosen in the first round of the 2014 draft by the San Diego Padres. He went on to debut with the Washington Nationals before stints with the Dodgers and Phillies. Turner broke out in 2016, hitting .342 and finishing second in Rookie of the Year voting, and he hasn’t slowed down since. The Florida native has three All-Star appearances, two batting titles, three top 10 MVP finishes, a Silver Slugger award and a World Series ring to his name, solidifying him as one of the star shortstops in baseball. Congratulations on reaching 10 Years of Service Time, Trea!
