Jimmy Rollins, nicknamed "J-Roll," is an All-Star and MVP shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies. Though Rollins has developed into a five-tool player during his career due to significant increases in his power hitting, he is perhaps best known for his baserunning skills. He has stolen at least 20 bases every season since 2001, with a career high of 47 in 2008. Rollins was named the 2007 National League Most Valuable Player and has been named to the National League All-Star team three times (2001, 2002, 2005). Rollins owns the longest hitting streak in Philadelphia Phillies history at 38 games, achieved from August 2005 to April 2006.
