Yankees outfielders Aaron Hicks and Brett Gardner were recognized Saturday on MLB Network as two of baseball's top 10 center fielders, making New York the only team with a pair of players to crack the list.

Los Angeles Angels star and 2019 AL MVP Mike Trout topped the list, followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers' Cody Bellinger and the Houston Astros' George Springer.

Hicks and Gardner manned the position for the Yankees in 2019, with the veteran Gardner -- who previously started out in center throughout his early career -- stepping in for Hicks after he had an injury-shortened season.

Among others to make the cut, the New York Mets' Brandon Nimmo checked in at ninth, one spot ahead of Gardner.

Here's the full list of the top 10 center fielders in baseball:

No. 1: Mike Trout, Angels
No. 2: Cody Bellinger, Dodgers
No. 3: George Springer, Astros
No. 4: Ramon Laureano, Athletics
No. 5: Whit Merrifield, Royals
No. 6: Starling Marte, Pirates
No. 7: Lorenzo Cain, Brewers
No. 8: Aaron Hicks, Yankees
No. 9: Brandon Nimmo, Mets
No. 10: Brett Gardner, Yankees
