BEFORE FAME

Brett won his first Gold Glove award in 2016. In the first nine years of his career (2009-16) with the Yankees, he has 218 stolen bases in 270 career attempts. His 80.7% success rate is fourth among active players with at least 250 career stolen base attempts. Brett was selected to his first career All-Star Game in 2015, becoming just the fifth position player drafted by the Yankees to make the All-Star team as a Yankee, (joining Thurman Munson, Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada).
