Carlos Gomez is usually the Milwaukee Brewers outfielder who generates the most effusive praise.

Braun didn't exactly excel defensively last season, his first in right field, after spending the previous six years in the other outfield corner - but in 2015, he's currently tied for 10th among baseball's 24 qualified right fielders in defensive runs saved.
