Dustin Pedroia
Red Sox second baseman

The scrappy second baseman has become a fixture in the middle of the infield for the Sox. He started slow in his 2007 rookie season before busting out of his slump and picking up American League Rookie of the Year honors. He also took the AL MVP award in 2008, the year he won his first Gold Glove.

Pedroia made a throw during an Aug. 25 game at Fenway Park against the Kansas City Royals.
