| | Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame | |
The glue to the infield in his seven seasons with the Orioles, Hardy won three straight Gold Gloves at shortstop, 2012-2014, and ranks third in club history in games played at the position. He was the AL's starting shortstop in the All-Star Game and won the Silver Slugger Award in 2013. While leading the league in fielding percentage three times, he also led or finished in the top three in putouts and assists seven times and was the only Major League shortstop with at least 20 homers in three straight seasons from 2011-2013. A 13-year veteran who spent the final seven seasons in Baltimore, his solid play led the Orioles to three Postseason berths in a five year span from 2012-2016.
