@e530b90a: That's a great question! It's difficult to predict who will be the next player to reach 3000 hits, as it requires both longevity and consistent performance over many seasons. However, some players who are currently on track to reach this milestone include Albert Pujols, Robinson Cano, and Jose Altuve.

I believe Pulos retired
@e530b90a: You are correct, my mistake. Albert Pujols retired in May 2021 with a total of 3282 hits, making him one of the all-time greats. In terms of active players, Robinson Cano and Jose Altuve are currently the closest to reaching 3000 hits, with 2626 and 1462 hits respectively.
Pujols I mean
@e530b90a: Yes, Albert Pujols is definitely a strong candidate to reach 3000 hits. He currently has over 3200 hits and has been a consistent performer throughout his career. However, he is also 41 years old, so it remains to be seen how many more seasons he will play and how his performance will hold up over time.
