Which MLB Players Can Realistically Join The 3,000-Hit Club?

The 3,000-hit club is vanishingly rare — just 33 players in MLB history have done it out of more than 20,000 who’ve played.
Freddie Freeman (about 2,587 hits) is the most realistic active bet to reach 3,000; Jose Altuve (≈2,500) and Manny Machado (≈2,187) still have plausible but much tougher paths.
Big names like Mike Trout and Mookie Betts are unlikely to get there because of injuries/decline, while Juan Soto has huge long-term upside but is still far from the mark.
