Bo Bichette actually DID improve defensively this year! Not a stud with the glove but for first time in his career he had a +DRS and +OAA
Actually Bo was pretty awful if you look at OAA. The problem is OAA is a terrible way to determine the productivity of an infielder. Mark is probably making his judgement from hi savant page which is incorrect. OAA is more used for outfielder defense. A simple google search about how OAA is used, you could find that out. Not sure why Mark doesn't use UZR or DRS which shows that Bo was actually an above average short stop defensively. Haven't watched the whole thing yet but I bet Mark talks up Bobby Witt Jr's defense even though Witt was awful defensively if you look at DRS or league average if you look at UZR.
@@candian75he absolutely talked up Bobby Witt’s defense. OAA is kind of had in general, but as you mentioned, ESPECIALLY infielders.
@@andrewarnold9751 I figured he would because OAA absolutely loves Bobby Witt Jr but every other defensive metric doesn't.
@@candian75bo is definitely not above average at short
@@kennethhanes5702 I mean he was this year according UZR and DRS. 4.1 UZR. 0 is league average and was +5 in DRS. Argue with the stats lol.
Bo improved alot a defence, like alot he's a competent player there and should be higher than Dansby easily
Bo Bichette over Gunnar Henderson right now now in my unbiased opnion, I think Gunnar needs to have one more good year before we can move him ahead of Bo
Disregard anything regarding Guards projected starting SS until we see opening day. It could be anyone. It could be Rocchio, it could be Arias, it could be Tena, it could be Naylor, it could be Vogt, who knows.
Shouldn't 3B follow 2B and then SS? 2-3-4-6-5?
Eight seconds later my question is answered, already gotten over it.
Where are you going to put Matt McLain at for the reds, to me he is our best player and will be our everyday starter at probably 2nd SS or DH, I thought you would put him here at short since you didn't put him at second and have Elly at 3rd and CES at Dh, so would just love to hear your thoughts on Matt Mclain cause I'm seeing fireworks in year 2!
He did put him at 2nd. Think he was around 9th
Bo> dansby
Bo>Xander
Bo>Gunnar
Bo>Witt
Bo>lindor
Bo over Dansby and Xander for sure but you are smoking if you think he's better than Lindor or Gunnar
Bo
Bo does not touch Witt or Lindor whatsoever
There’s literally no argument for Bo over Lindor
Putting Lindor over Seager in the thumbnail is such Giraffe Neck Marc click bait
It’s ShortStop Time!! Here you go if you wanna know
Biggest Rise: JP Crawford 19 to 9 (10 spots)
Biggest Drop: Amed Rosario 17 to 30 (13 spots)
Biggest drop was Wander *****
@@chernandez212331he wasn’t on the list, so he wasn’t a drop. If he was on the list, he wouldn’t have dropped
@@kennethhanes5702 I know bro, lighten up
You are the 🐐
nice spoilers a hole
I really thought Marc was going to take this opportunity to shit on Volpe, 100%
Instead, he criticized him fairly and praised him fairly. I actually think his assessment of Volpe was really accurate. I’m impressed
Bichette had a really solid defensive year I don’t think that’s “pretty horendous”
bro just blabbers on and on don't take what he says seriously
Especially with Toronto. He has admitted to not liking the Jays
@@ChardeeMacDennis96 yea and he never mentions defensive stats just says “they have a good glove” or “they are horrendous” bo certainly isn’t the best shortstop but he’s serviceable there def not “horrendous” lmao
He was 20th percentile OAA, 31st percentile arm strength, that’s not very solid
@@birdinflight3861 Well you aren't supposed to look at OAA to judge the quality of an infielder. That stat was mainly created to judge the defense of an outfielder. If you do a simple google search you could see for yourself. A better metric for infielders are UZR or just looking at DRS. Bo's UZR was 4.1. 0 is league average so Bo was 4x better than the average shortstop on defense. Mark also talks about how good Witt Jr was on defense even though according to UZR which was 0.2 he was about average and DRS hates him.
If Seager hadn’t gotten injured he might’ve had one of the greatest non steroid era offensive season
Corey Seager absolutely deserved the #1 spot on this list, my new favorite player in Major League Baseball and one of the greatest things to ever happen to my Texas Rangers! I could watch his home run in game 1 of the World Series over and over for hours!
Same here 😮💨 love me Corey Seeger as a rangers fan 😂
Correa played with Plantar Facitis all year, and was hitting into double plays 24/7, but when it finally snapped and he took a week on the IL, he came back in the playoffs and was much faster and outrunning double play balls again
I expect his 2024 to be a ton better
I just came here to say the same thing.
Playoffs isnt a good enough sample
@@Ethanz08s It is when its Carlos Correa.They guy obviously has been playing hurt the past couples seasons (passing medicals has been a complication) and a healthy Correa is an all-star for sure.
@@Ethanz08s you missed the entire point
Could you imagine what Corey Seager’s stats would look like if he played a full 162!? 45 plus bombs and 130 plus RBIs
I think that's kind of been the knock on Seager though right? Injured a lot.
@@SystemsAllianceyeah it has
volpe 2 low
Get this to the top!
facts
You punished Tovar way too much for playing at Coors. Some of the guys you put above him are inexcusable.
Marc trying not to mention Coors when talking about a Rockies player challenge (impossible)
Bichettes defense went from mlb dead last amongst ss (2022) to middle of the road this year (2023)... thats a HUGE defensive improvement... im no longer nervous every time the ball goes to him
bo bichette is a top 5 SS in this league what is this…
Xander took a Spencer Strider fastball to the wrist early in the year which lead to his slower start. He was red hot to the start the year then got hit and his numbers dropped.
If only the Padres had another SS who could have started in his place while he recovered on the IL.
Marc is a great guy
Cap
You're lucky that you beat me to it.
😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
The Mets obviously have the best players at every position its not even close seager is so overrated
The only thing more unbearable than Giraffedildo’s bias in his videos is this recycled comment.
Bo has to be higher on this list man.
Bichette at 8 feels too low imo
He gets dogged for defense, but it was better than 2022 and slightly below average. An injury did cut into his counting stats, but if he stays healthy, he’ll be top 5.
Yeah there’s no way some of the guys above him on his list are above them I’d put him above or around Gunnar Henderson
Seager is #1. Most clutch human alive
Im sorry Marc but did you seriously put a guy with an OPS+ of TWENTY NINE ahead of Berti??? Idc if hes a shortstop or not what are you thinking man
arcia made the all star team mainly because he was batting 300 with his 10 or so home runs
Bichettes defense has improved year over year, “horrendous” is quite a terrible take 😂 and ranking him at 8 is crazy
Not really, going from consistently being one of the worst defenders in the league to all of a sudden having 1 “mediocre” defensive season still makes you pretty horrendous overall.
Marc's put Lindor in the top 5 since he was on the Indians he's not that biased shut up merry christmas
Lindor is overrated
@@ishottheserf6715 dawg we won that series...
@@ishottheserf6715 that was 2017 and Jokes on you, we won that series
Jackson Holliday will likely play 2nd base. Gunnar was much better defensively as a SS compared to third.
source?
@@iangold2987 The Orioles manager and GM both said it's a real possibility. Plus, common sense would suggest the better defensive SS should play SS. lol
@@brandondillman5841 i mean, to most it wouldn’t be common sense since he’s literally the most anticipated prospect to be called up
@@iangold2987 and Gunnar Henderson was the #1 prospect in baseball last year. Having 2 great defensive infielders up the middle is a big advantage. They've also had Holliday play 215 innings at 2nd base in the minors. So, they've been preparing for this possibility.
Gunnar is gay. He is awesome!
I don’t know if it’s true but if I remember correctly as an Angels fan that Neto was playing with an injury because the Angels were desperate for infielders so his numbers started going down but I expect him to be at least a top 12 shortstop next year with a 20 20 season.
Bo is too low
I hate these rankings - a TB fan. (Why Wander, WHY!!!)
I think you’re overstating how bad Bichette was defensively. He wasn’t great or even good by any means but he was better than the previous 2 years
Bo #1 ain’t no way Dansby Trea and Gunna over him
Number 3
@@Toews1247thank you Lindor isn’t even that good I know he hit 30 bombs but he hit like 255 so he not better
Are you saying Bo is the best shortstop or just top 3 or something cause I think anyone who says Seager isn’t the best is on something he might’ve been able to win the mvp if he wasn’t injured
Naw Bo is better than Dansby and had a better year defensively and he also played better than Xander he’s not top 5 but he’s better than both of them
Lindor is not a good ss he is surrounded by bums and that makes him look so good. If lindor wasn’t on that 2023 Mets team there would be no change he is a bum like the rest of the Mets
What's why it took dansby Swanson 7 years to be an all star.. it's clearly LINDOR is the better SS.. LINDOR has been robbed of 2 all stars cause fans don't know how to vote real talent.. I hate when fans vote for all stars cause they pick all the wrong players💀💀
Bichette was far from horrendous last year defensively and actually took massive steps towards becoming a league average defensive SS. Which with that bat?? Top 5. Please please don't look at years prior to last and think that's his defensive ceiling
Also if Lindor was the second best SS in the league then he would have to lead his team to a postseason like Corey Seager, Trea Turner and Gunnar Henderson
Bro thinks that Lindor would’ve been the best SS in the league if Corey Seager hadn’t lead the rangers to a WS win
Bobby whit jr is better than lindor easily. Offensive value is the same, bobby plays better defence and has more speed. another case of awful mets bias
And that's why Francisco will be the cy young award winner
Where did CJ Abram’s go, don’t know why I thought of that even though I’m a met fan
No qualms with the actual placement of Bo but put some respect on his defense. He’s improved a lot getting to being a league average defender. Anyone who isn’t happy with that sort of profile should have a problem with Xander Bogaerts cause he did the same thing for years before he fixed his glove at like 30
The Arcia disrespect is CRAZY
i watch every single Blue Jays game, and Bichettes defense has improved LEAPS AND BOUNDS, dWar up, errors down. keep sleepin!!!!
I think you’re ranking Cleveland’s SSs a little low. I know Rocchi only has a few MLB ABs, but he’s a top 60 prospect with a pretty prolific MiLB career. A more fair spot to put him would be around 20-22. I mean, Rocchio played significantly better than Mason Wynn at 25.
Mets fans has his team SS ranked as number 1. Next video world series predictions with the Mets winning it all.
Honestly, as a Padres fan, I was surprised to see Xander ranked that high... I would have slotted him just outside the top ten... but hey, so be it... *shrug*... thanks for the effort in cutting together this series of videos...
I think the narrative on Bo Bichette’s defense is uninformed. He cut down the errors significantly this season (23 in ‘22 to 8 in ‘23) and is much better than getting the “horrendous” tag.
Errors are a terrible metric. Castellanos had no errors this year does that mean he's the best outfielder in baseball?
@@saulgoodman8501 obviously that’s not what I’m saying. Bo had his struggles early on in his career and he’s come a long way, which is why I think the “horrendous” tag should be removed.
Arcia deserves more Love especially for the production he gives you and price of his contract!!
It’s crazy how much people underrate Bichette
Lindor isnt the number 2 guy lol
Not even the best SS in his own division
Having dansby swanson over bichette is crazy. I’d don’t care how good your defense is if you are an average hitter
I’d probably have Bo slightly but he is horrible defensively, whereas Dansby is the complete opposite
@@elevatorelliot714 the thing is Bo wasn’t even bad defensively last year, he was pretty average. Only committed single digit errors
@@bockstaboi6638Yeah I probably overstated how bad Bo was defensively, but ai still don’t think he was great there. Again I’d still take him over Dansby but it’s close
Defense impacts games more than you think. Dansby Swanson is probably one of the 5 most valuable defensive players in all MLB, so even a 104 wrc+ last year made him a 5 win player. You're right that Bichette is a much better hitter with a 125 wrc+ last season, but his defense is nowhere close to Dansby so he was a 4 win player. Dansby also plays almost every game every season, whereas Bichette has missed some time with injuries
He will never be a good defensive player, but Bichette has improved defensively, and Henderson didn't win a silver slugger
Lindor not top 5 tho
Yes he is Yankees fan
Marc, you skipped the number 6th spot!
BO AT 8!!!! Lmaooooo dude gain some knowledge
Damn I didn’t know Tim Anderson had only 1 home run I fell bad for him to
Arcia made the Allstar team because he did everything in the first half then cooled down a lot
Not to mention Lindor started off really cold, which was why Dansby got the 2nd NL SS spot
Corey seager is the best shortstop of 23 and 23
Everything was good until you put Pena at 12. That was such a bad year.
Finally a video without a brave in the top 5 😂
Your so bias how is fransico Lindor at 2 so bias
i am a mets fan and lindor is better than seager
This is why nobody likes Mets fans
Bo is a bit to low in my opinion
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY PUTING WITT JR. AT 3 AND YOU PUT LINDOR AT 1
I meant 2
Bibby Wott Jr in top 3 let's go
Arcia was an all star how is he not top 15
Berti too low imo but nice list
Bo at 8 is a crime he’s top 5
Gonna have to completely disagree with "Bichette defensively, pretty horrendous". He's by no means a top 10 defensive shortstop, but he was at the very least league average last season. Tied for 5th in errors among full time SS with only 8 (23 & 24 the previous two seasons), and tied for 9th in DRS. He isn't the nightmare on defense that he once was.
Volpe won the gold glove with 17 errors, and Bichette is still considered to be terrible at defense. Bobby Witt Jr, who is "one of the best defensive shortstops last year" has a -6 DRS and had 12 errors. I get defense is tougher to quantify and use as a metric for these videos, but there's no consistency here.
“And that’s why luisangel acuna is the greatest shortstop of all time”
Seager has made most of the baseball world look really stupid and the Rangers look very, very smart. I remember when they signed him to that contract in free agency. It seemed crazy that they spent half a billion on him and Semien, with most going to him obviously but yeah I mean it didn't seem as stupid as what they paid DeGrom or anything but it certainly seemed like they overpaid at the time, not anymore lol.
Who knows maybe when deGrom finally comes back from the injury it will dawn on him or someone will tell him that maybe he doesn't need to try and throw the ball 102 every pitch and ease up and actually play.
The fact Arcia is at 17 is crazy, he was an all star and he's only the 18th best, he's not #1 but Arcia is better than 17
You know why Arcia was an All Star over Lindor because Arcia hit .294 .345 .424 and Lindor hit .239 .320 .478
My list would be
1. Corey Seager
2. Bobby Witt
3. Lindor
4. Gunnur
5. Trea
6. Bichette
fWaR leader since 2022
1. Aaron Judge
2. Freddie Freeman
3. Mookie Betts
4. FRANCISCO LINDOR
I would take Tim Anderson over Arcia any day! Arcia needs to take a hike! He is childish and runs his mouth too much! As a Braves fan I will be glad when he is GONE!
Clearly you have something against perdomo, he’s far better than story, Baez, volpe, Neto, and lux, he should be 16th
This dude right here is another beast with Bobby Witt Jr and Gunner Henderson the short stop position is looking pretty good for the next 10 15 years
Highly sought after SS is a money pit. Almost every team wants an all star SS. The money is better spent on a great defensive SS and a bat on a different position. An OF with the same offensive stats as a SS seems to get paid less than the SS with the same numbers.
And that is why Ruben Tejada is the best shortstop in the MLB
Ranking Volpe so high is a terrible take, yeah his average wasn’t that high but he won gold glove and hit 21 homers,
As a tigers fan javy baez at 23 is ridiculous if you watched him every day you would say he is the worst ss in the league
I'm sorry is that... NL All-Star Orlando Arcia AT SEVENTEEN!?!?
Usually agree with a lot of your decisions on these lists but this one is kinda trash
bryan rococo’s swing looks so much like Lindor’s
14:28 it says “I almost want to CLAP it up for him” 💀💀☠️☠️💀☠️
Perdomo in front of Baez.... lmfao. Giraffe Neck does not watch MLB.
Calling it now, Bobby Witt Jr will be #1 next year
14:28 ayooo cmon bruh 😭😭😭😂
Bro how do you put Elly De La Cruz over Oneil Cruz man
El Dey Cruz played more 3 base for reds then shortstop matt mclain was the shortstop
How is Arcia 17 and Adames is 11. I just looked at the stats Arcia is better😂
bo bichette is a top 5 SS. you can't change my mind.
I traded Wander Franco in my fantasy league right before he got arrested.
Matt McLain has to be on the reds somewhere. You left our best player out of here
