C¨¦sar Cede?o
Class of 2020 | 28 ? CF | 1970-81
After bursting into the Major Leagues with a fourth-place finish in the 1970 NL Rookie of the Year voting as a 19-year-old, C¨¦sar Cede?o quickly became one of the top outfielders in baseball and one of the best young players in Major League history. The ultimate five-tool player, Cede?o hit .285 with 199 homers, 436 doubles, 60 triples and 550 stolen bases across his 17-year Major League career, with 12 of his years spent in Houston. In 1972 at age 21, he began a stretch in which he received five consecutive Gold Glove awards (1972-76) while being named to four National League All-Star teams in that five-year stretch.
