Welcome to another Humm Baby countdown and today we’re talking about my top 15 “one-and-dones,” the ultimate flashes in the pan, these are players who had one and only one excellent MLB season and were never able to do it again. Unlike my Flashes in the Pan video, the players on this list were only good for literally one season. I’ll be ranking them from the least impressive single good season to the best, and many of these players you probably never even heard of, but they all had one thing in common – one impressive big league season that probably earned them a spot in a lineup or rotation the following year, but none of them were able to ever repeat that one amazing year. Players with more than one All-Star nod are ineligible for the list, since that means they had at least 2 good seasons.

Sometimes a player can have it all figured out, be an icon of major league baseball, and a fan favorite, yet just as quickly as they rose to fame, instantly fade away, only to be remembered by the brief moments of greatness that they gifted to us for one season. These are 10 one hit wonder MLB seasons that are sure to bring back your fondest baseball memories. Welcome to batters box and have a wonderful rest of your day!
