Pedro Guerrero
The raw power that made Guerrero one of the most feared hitters of the 1980s shows up in that peak OPS+ of 214 — a number that belongs in rarified air. His .300 career average across 15 seasons proves this wasn't just about occasional moonshots, but consistent offensive production that made him a cornerstone of those Dodgers teams.
That 1985 campaign captures Guerrero at his apex: a .320 hitter who could turn on any mistake pitch for 30-plus home runs. The five All-Star selections and Silver Slugger tell the story of a player who terrorized National League pitching throughout the decade. His 121 career OPS+ means he was consistently above-average offensive force, with that stratospheric peak showing just how dominant he could be when everything clicked.
