"One of the most dynamic and explosive center fielders in the history of the game, the former Mets superstar's blend of power, composure, and speed made him a once-in-a-generation talent. A nine-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, Beltran hit 435 home runs, stole 312 bases, and recorded 2,725 hits. He is one of just four players in MLB history with at least 1,500 runs scored, 2,700 hits, 400 home runs, and 300 steals, joining Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, and Alex Rodriguez."
"it was revealed that Beltran was the mastermind of Houston's sign-stealing scandal that aided their first-ever championship in 2017. A video camera placed in center field was used to steal the opposing catcher's signs, which were then relayed to a staffer in the Astros' dugout tunnel. A trash can would then be hit a certain number of times based on the pitch that was coming."
Carlos Beltran received his call into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Beltran combined power, composure, and speed, compiling 435 home runs, 312 stolen bases, and 2,725 hits across a decorated career. He was a nine-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner and ranks among four players with at least 1,500 runs, 2,700 hits, 400 homers, and 300 steals. In 2019 it was revealed that Beltran orchestrated Houston's 2017 sign-stealing scheme using a center-field video camera, a dugout relay to a staffer, and trash-can signals. MLB named no other players after immunity was granted by the commissioner, and Beltran was labeled the ring-leader while also being viewed as an easy target given his retirement. Beltran said he felt agendas worked against him and that careers include ups and downs and a mix of good, so-so, and bad decisions.
