Unlike Arraez, Tony Gwynn in his prime was a plus defender, could run, and had more pop.

Hes trash. No production. 170 singles out if 200 ? 4 HR in 637 AB ?? Horrible defense. Cant run for his life. It’s Ok to strikeout Arraez. Stop chasing personal titles. Get in the weight room and swing harder.

Whats stopping Arraez from hitting for power? Why doesnt he hit the weight room and hit for more homers?

I’ve got dudes chrome rookie card. I’ll sell it to ya for $100

Blud looks like the king from Burger King

Why do all the baseball RUclipsrs make the same video right after each other. It’s so obvious lol. There’s been 3 arraez vids all within 2 days saying the same thing. Unoriginal.

Arraez had a 4.9 WAR 2 years ago. 4.2 the year before that. If he hits over .330, he's valuable on every team. If he doesn't, he doesn't have anything else to make up for it. Hitting .318 with an abysmal chase rate at mostly 1B and DH in 2024 severely lowered his value. I'm positive he'll hit .333+ with a much lower chase rate and a much higher WAR in 2025, although he'll probably still be 1B and DH.

The interesting thing with the potential Yankees trade for Arraez - is that it just seems utterly antithetical to what the Yankees are looking at doing this offseason. Losing out on Soto, the shift was to fixing issues with the 2024 team - baserunning and defense. Trading for Arraez makes no sense with that ethos.

Thank you

I don't blame the Padres for wanting to dump Arráez, the little p*ssy sat out the last game of the season because he was afraid of Otani overtaking him and winning the triple crown. Ted Williams refused to sit out the last game in 1941 to save his .400 season...

Most underrated player in a long time

If we can just trade Stroman . We can DH Arraez give Stanton more time off, we know he’s going to get hurt (we need him for the playoffs) and let Oswald get a real chance at 3rd.

The problem is we live in a world where losers apply metrics to an imperfect game with many different variables. Like there is some proven scientific formula for success. The kid is a modern day Tony Gwynn. Tony Gwynn Light. He’s a lefty , can play all over the infield , gets on base , wins 3 batting titles and yet, the analytical , metric GEEKS think he’s overrated because his WAR is a 1 . lol lol. This is the same generation by using their logic and scientific formula would say Tony Gwynn is overrated, no sprint speed , low launch angle , average defense, no power , doesn’t steal. My words for the stat geeks. Thank God you werent around in 90’s when the Yankees had their dynasty,,

Luis Arraez is a star, I'm a big believer in analytics but they are incomplete. Hits and putting the ball in play for potential errors is better than walks, the runners move further, so a hit and a walk are different. Many times walks are even intentional.

A lot of y’all are commenting before watching the video lmao

He lost my respect for sitting the final few games just so he wouldn’t lose the batting title

Awesome video

I’m a big fan. Reminds me of a old school baseball player

I’m a padre fan, he’s over rated. Every stat proves it, one star player at most

I think he’s an amazing hitter, he’s just not as valuable as a player due to his defense, speed, and power🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m not an old man but I’m not a young man, either. I’m just a life long baseball fan that prefers the style of hitting of guys like Luis Arraez over guys like Kyle Schwarber (no offense, Kyle). For me as a fan……There is nothing I despise more than the strikeout, walk, home run hell baseball offenses have become. I don’t want to see guys batting .214 with 190 strikeouts. I don’t care if he hits 35 home runs. Its boring. I can’t stand strikeouts and I can’t stomach that guys are indifferent to it. I will always prefer the guys that put the ball in play. As a fan….It’s action and it can be unpredictable…..And for a sport like baseball……Predictability is the last thing you should want if you’re trying to sell a product….Unfortunately, that’s what 3 “true” outcome is…..

Fam, you were born to make money off your voice.

Guy is terrible and the epitome of an overrated clown by cringe worthy fans who “want to return to the old days”. Over 80% of his hits are worthless singles, he has no power, one of the worst base runners in the league, played such bad defense at second that they had to switch him to first base (which further lowers his value since 1B is a power position), and is slow as a turtle, and never walks. There is literally no comparison between this clown and Ted Williams or even Tony Gwynn. Williams was the most technical hitter of all time and had great pop. Tony Gwynn was an ace in defense and the base paths and also a master of drawing walks.

Is every baseball channel copying each other or are we just down to AI generated baseball slop? All three of you made the same video within days of each other. Lazy.

Luis Arráez is great at 1 of the 5 tools a player need. But let face it….he’s terrible al the other 4.

Too many stats and the results suck. Batting titles define a player, Boggs, Carew, Gwynn... it reminds me what astrophysics do, they notice a perturbance, they put math in there and it then exists. This is BASEBALL, shit!

YANKEES HAVE TO GET HIM..COME ON CASHMANNN DO IT AND SIGN ROKI SASAKIIII

Please think of this he got those numbers while injured for 4 months! Great time for someone to buy low on Arraez. I think he is closer to 2023 then 2024!

Arrez is the best hitter in baseball. PERIOD. Tony Gwynn was the best hitter in baseball in his time. I HATE the "modern" ideal of hit the ball as hard as you can, it results in batting averages of .225 and BA with RISP of .190 WORST BASEBALL I HAVE EVER SEEN. So many strikeouts, so many fly ball outs... so few base runners... SO LITTLE ACTION, the entire game is waiting for someone to hit a fucking home run, it is the worst baseball to watch that I have ever seen... The NBA did this a few years ago, went to 40% of the shots being taken from 3, now it's more like 50% and guess what, the NBA is dying, cuz it isn't fun to watch... 8 innings of NOTHING... waiting for someone to hit a homerun is FUCKING BORING. If baseball stays on this path with more and more Pete Alonso, and batting avg's continue to get lower and lower baseball will die, cuz it will be too boring to watch. I HATE THIS HOMERUN DERBY SHIT AND I DONT CARE IF IT WORKS, ITS NOT FUN TO WATCH.

Luiz is a fantastic player and as a padre fan I hope we keep him longterm

The problem is that so many are incapable of looking beyond the numbers to see the intangibles. I say this as a young fan, not some boomer yearning for the good ole days or whatever. Being able to make contact is valuable for reasons beyond just getting on base. For example, in a scenario in the bottom of the 9th with the tying run at 3rd and 2 outs, do you want a slugger who hits .220 at the plate and strikes out a lot? Or do you want a guy like arraez? Is there a stat for that? It’s also good for the game from an entertainment perspective to have guys that put the ball in play a lot compared to striking out multiple times a night. It makes for a more exciting game, and I’d love for someone to challenge this assertion. It’s self-evident. I can keep going if anyone is interested, but I’m assuming nobody is going to read this since the video is a few days old now

Can you break down JEFF MCNEIL!!!?????? I think he’s one of the greatest hitters and has had the most dissappointing two seasons. Please break him down

The issue with WAR can be seen easily with Arraez. A guy who leads the league in hits is more valuable than a guy who leads the league in walks. Simple as that

San Diego loves Arraez and he did pretty well considering he had thumb ligament issues throughout the year. You could visibly see him wince in pain when he made contact. Horrid defense too, with a terrible stretch at first base. I hope we trade him away so the Padres can re-sign Profar or something lol. This is a cool channel, I will subscribe. Please make more videos if you can!

Bro struck out less than 30 times in nearly 700 PLATE APPEARANCES! That is pretty damn valuable in my mind. Teams just don’t use him correctly, he should be batting 3rd not 1st

I will not tolerate Arraez slander

Arraez has only had maybe 1 bad season. Over 2021, 2022 and 2023 he put together 12.5 WAR. And surprisingly his only -dWAR season aside from his rookie year was 2024. He had a down year, but he is extremely valuable as a player

Why is everyone making videos on how arraez is “not valuable” because he doesn’t hit homers

Was really hoping the Yanks would get Lux. I don't hate the idea of an automatic baserunner for a Judge AB tho

Dude I thought I was subbed, my bad G. Keep crushing🫡

Let's Go Cedy!!

Great❤❤

Changing the game slightly to promote offense worked well in hockey and I think it would actually work well in baseball if they'd just stick with it.

He is not Dominican he's Haitian , don't get why Haitians born in DR are not proud .

Solid video thank you for providing a detailed explanation with examples, facts that support your argument

I remember tuning in as Bo-Sox fan to see the great '42' retire. I was like 21? I grew up watching the 2000-2010's Sox Teams, 2013 was the last year I officially clocked out of watching baseball because it hasn't been the same. Yankee's and Redsox games were just amazing to watch in those fifteen years. That whole year was just nostalgia for me personally, but my god, I miss being able to debate old friends who were New Yorkers and let me tell you, the best pitching rotations were often, or not, came down to Mariano, I'll die on a Hill and say this: No one ever 'questions' Rivera and I only wish I could go back to have actually attended games to see him in action. 2013 to me was the last breath of what I call the old baseball dying out...I never even watched a game from that point and including the 2018 World Series. I never bothered watching the Sox again after Farrel cause it was Tito's legacy to see that all inevitably change again.

Maybe because he had to pitch on short rest constantly in the playoffs? Maybe because he didn't have a good #2 guy pitching after him? Let alone a #3. Besides mattingly was bad at managing the bullpen. Mattingly burned kershaw in his prime. Now, with Roberts coincidentally, kershaw is still good. He manages pitchers better. They won it all without kershaw throwing a pitch. What does that tell you? They dont have to rely on kershaw. Besides, we had bullpen games from the dodgers. Back in those days, there weren't any bullpen games.

You really have to bring up the 2017 Astros not chasing against Kershaw in game 5? They know what is coming, that's the whole reason why they did not chase. I am not defending Kershaw's postseason records. But he pitched a great game in game 1 at home, as well as another 1-run game in NLCS. That year would've been where he turns his playoffs reputation around if not for the cheaters.

Kershaw sucks. He needs to retire.

Kersh has just as many good playoff games as bad ones, even a few of the bands ones happened when he was left in too long
