Below is Beltre’s spray chart since he joined the Mariners in 2005, the year Major League Baseball began tracking where on the field players put the ball in play. The darker the hexagon, the more hits Beltre has to that area of the field. Click on a hexagon to view the details of those hits below.

While Beltre is the first player to collect his 3,000th hit as a Texas Ranger, he’s not the first player to have played for the Rangers to accomplish the task. Two former Rangers, Rafael Palmeiro (3,020 hits) and Alex Rodriguez (3,115), are also in the club but hit the milestone with other teams.

Beltre’s done the majority of his work in Texas as well. The four-time all star has hits as a Ranger, enough to rank him in the top 10 in hits in franchise history. He also has 949 hits with the Los Angeles Dodgers, 751 with the Seattle Mariners and 189 with the Boston Red Sox.

While it’s debatable Beltre needed the help, reaching 3,000 hits will virtually guarantee virtually guarantees him entry into the Hall of Fame. Of the 27 other players with 3,000 hits that are eligible to be inducted into the Hall, only Pete Rose (banned for gambling on baseball) and Palmeiro (ties to performance enhancing drugs) are excluded.
