@@bubbyboi565 It's not even the batting average. Trout is batting .280. It's the on base percentage. He had a 400 OBP in Miami, and has a .420 in Milwaukee. He's was already a disciplined hitter, but now he has more pop.
I think Justin Turner and Max Muncy are good examples as well. Both started very poorly then as soon as the Dodgers got them, they blasted off and became great players
So a gold glove and a silver slugger is average? Yelich was already a all star reserve caliber player before the Brewers, which is part of the reason why theey even traded for him in the first place. If he was average, then they wouldn't have given them all the prospects that they did, and mayne wouldn't even traded for him in the first place
CC Sabathia, Zack Britton, Didi Gregorius, Charlie Morton, Tommy Pham, Lucas Giolito, Tim Anderson, Trevor Bauer, Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, Brad Hand, Matthew Boyd, Jordan Zimmermann, Josh Harrison, Nicholas Castellanos, Blake Parker, Eddie Rosario, Nelson Cruz, Andrelton Simmons, Khris Davis, Edwin Encarnacion, George Springer, Jon Lester, Lorenzo Cain, Josh Bell, Marcell Ozuna, Zack Greinke, Rich Hill, Justin Turner, and Johnny Cueto
Logan Cramer ketel marte too, the man had 22 homers in his career before this season, now he has 21 in one season so far. also has a .320 average, .950 ops, 4.1 war
Yelich averaged 20 homeruns, 114 RBIs and a 290 ba to start his career, then two players later you said Brantley broke out with 20 homeruns, 97 RBIs and a 327 ba. Yelich was just as good to start as Brantley was when he broke out.
Giovanni Urshela. I remember playing with the Indians he had two errors at third base and couldn’t hit anything in the ALDS game 4. Then he came to the Yankees and is one of their best players.
Gio Urshela has been a stud for the yankees especially fielding, he used play for the indians and blue jays. That would've been a good player for this list
The story with yelich is the marlins made him change his stance he was using since high school and then on the brewers, around the second half of the season he went back to his high school stance and it made a huge difference
@@josh-tt4fq thing is that's all he was with the cubs sadly. They never started him, only when they rested the actual starters. Otherwise I'm sure he would've had good numbers.
In what way was Yelich bad or even average? He was top 15 in WAR his last year in Miami, top 6 in WAR in 2016 when he finished top 20 in MVP voting, and he won a gold glove in 2014, and that's all at the age of 25 or younger. Not a good fit for this video. Javy Baez played 80 games in two call-up stints his first two years and all he's done is hit since he became an everyday guy in 16. His first full season, the Cubs win the World Series. Not really a coincidence. Another bad fit for this video. Jose Ramirez was 23 years old when he became the Indians' every day 3B in 2016 and was a top 20 MVP vote getter. He played a combined 165 games the previous 2 seasons. Like Javy and Yelich, he's another super young guy who put it together relatively quickly and is another really bad fit for this video. DJ LeMahieu has had one season as a full time starter in the majors that he's hit under .270 and has a career batting average of .301. Why is he here?
@@FuzzyFromYT He barely played in 2013 and was a gold glover hitting well over a 110 OPS+ in 2014. His OPS+ in 2015 was 6 points lower than Arenado's, and Nolan hit 42 HR that year. His power numbers weren't there because he was playing in the death valley of Marlins Park, but his exit velos were barely lower than what he's at now. It was just a matter of getting out of Miami.
@@gavinzeiman1945 Well then anyone who's a superstar could be put on here. He was saying Yelich was a very average player and I'm saying he was much more than that.
Wisconsin Sports Channel no, yelich won mvp last year and is the favorite to win this year, he is the 2nd best player besides trout, it was absolutely lobsided
Yelich’s talent was always there. When he was being trade from the marlins, as a Braves fan, I always knew he was good but hadn’t broke out yet. Then they said they wanted Acuna for him and I was like “nah” and thank god we didn’t trade him. Moral of the story is, Acuna> Yelich.
I guess you could say that if you only look at his career high in home runs and just ignore the fact that he had one of the worst seasons for any player in 2019.
Josh Donaldson! I'm an A's fan, he started as a catcher in 2010 and batted under .150. He was playing an interleague series and saw the pitcher has a better avg. During an interview he said "I sucked and I had to change". You could probably do a whole video on the Oakland A's picking other teams scraps and making them valuable.
Story behind JD Martinez was that after he left the Astros, his new batting coach changed his swing and his approach at the plate. That's how he transformed himself into the hitter he is today. During his tenure with the Astros, the team had multiple 100+ loss seasons. Ironically, the year he was released, the Astros started to improve.
It’s not that these players sucked it’s just that it takes time to adjust to the major leagues, some more time than others. MLB is a completely different game and they just need to adjust.
Fuzzy 2019 - “something clicks in these mans heads” Edit: he also said jake arrieta was bad from 2010 to 2017, and went on saying he was a Super Star in 2016
As a mariner fan Marte has me floored. He was traded after error city and zero luck at the plate. Seeing him on the all star game starters might have made me drop my jaw..
Yelich was always a high caliber player ever since he broke into the league. He never hit below .280 and that was playing in Marlins park. He also had a better average than Trout in 2015. Get the facts straight man.
Yelich was only 21 as a rookie putting him 2-3 years ahead of the average rookie and yet he was able to produce a 16.9 WAR over his 5 years in Miami, receive a Silver Slugger + Gold glove award. He was heavily underrated and shadowed by other Miami prospects who came up at a similar time but he’s always been a B+ or better player.
Michael Conforto, (the absolute mets GOAT) was garbage in 2016 with a dip to a .130 batting avg, 2017, selected to all star game, got injured, and ended with a .279. This year, he's peaked at .308 after fixing his stance (his lead shoulder was opening too quickly), and has made many massive saves, like his walk-off single last game against the nats
FUZZY RIGHT WHEN U SAID I THOUGHT JOSE RAMIREZ WAS THE WORST I HIT A CLUTCH 2 RUN BOMB WITH HIM!! Also I’m one of the kids I met at Mlb ball park it was a honor meeting you. Another great video!!
In 2009 Bautista worked with Jay's Manager Cito Gaston and Hitting Coach Gene Tenance where they removed his double toe tap that you see him do while with the Pirates. They changed it to a full and violent leg kick and if you look at September 2009 he was a monster and that month was the reason the Jays brought him back.
Apparently when Jose was traded to Toronto, he was still a bad player but soon after he was traded he used one offseason to completely change his swing and saw improvements
Lol as a braves fan I remember Yeli with the Marlins. He wasn’t bad enough to be a non threat then, it used to be tough watch my team against him and Stanton.
My god the Nostalgia when seeing the old everything for the Astros before they switched over. The old logo that was just a star and the more red colors
Cliff Lee is another one, he wasn't anything special early, but won plenty of games in his first three full years in the Majors due to very good run support, then it all came together in 2008, becoming the 2nd straight Indians pitcher to win the Cy Young Award after CC Sabathia did so in 2007.
I think Edwin Encarnacion should be considered one of the players that was horrible but is now a power threat. With the reds he was garbage then with the jays he was terrible at 3rd, then getting claimed by the A’s then getting waived within a month and going back to the Jays and seeing career highs and making I think one all star appearance.
I don’t know what you’re thinking but Yelich was not a bad player before Milwaukee. He put up solid numbers, that’s why the Marlins got some good prospect for him.
When Bautista was trade to the jays in 09 the jays hitting coach worked with Jose and he added a leg kick and worked on his mechanics and that's why he broke out
We all know Bautista is well past it, but for a team not to bring him on this season is a real crime. The dude had a slightly above OPS and great OBP last season while his avg was Mendoza, But for a team not to bring him on to help the younger kids, esp the jays themselves, its really head scratching. Would cost nothing and value could be crazy to the rookies and youngsters. See Vlad struggling right now, I bet that wouldn't be happening nearly as much with a guy like Bautista at his side and hitting with him in lineup.
If a video was made for older MLB stars, I would throw Smoltz and Glavine into the mix. Smoltz was not a top Tigers prospect when he came to Atlanta, and his first couple years were average. It wasn't until 1991 that they figured it out, and Smoltz did not turn his corner into the second half of that magical season.
Dude yelich has always been a monster in Miami he was a defensive stud in tha tf massive stadium and would get on base all day long.. him and Giancarlo were that whole team!!
You should look at Eugenio Suarez of the Cincinnati Reds. He played for the Tigers and absolutely sucked then got traded and look at him now. He is a huge power threat. It’s just a suggestion.
I understand that yelich has played at a much higher level in Milwaukee but he was still a great player in Miami. All star, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger. He was always a good player he shouldn't be on the list.
Sorry Fuzz you’re wrong on this one, Yelich was a great ballplayer already with Miami, the only difference in Milwaukee is a tick in average and a ton of pop. Yelich was also not only traded for Lewis Brinson, not the worst deal of all time, Jordan Yamamoto is part of that deal and is currently 4-0 with a 1.59 ERA in the bigs, and Monte Harrison and Isan Diaz are tearing it up in the minors, as Isan already has 20 something bombs in AAA. Not to mention Brinson is also killing it in AAA since being sent down and having a fine tuning to his swing. Sorry but you’re wrong on that one
Kenley Jansen and Max Muncy fit on this list too. Kenley was a former catcher but couldn't hit so they made him a pitcher and he has been the best closer of our generation this year has been shaky but has been thee best closer since Mariono Rivera. Max muncy was released from the athletics and was about to quit baseball when the dodgers picked him.
Just for Lewis Brinson? No chief, Isan Diaz who’s hitting .300 with 25 bombs and over 60 RBIs in Triple A, Jordan Yamamoto who’s pitching lights out in the MLB, and Monte Harrison who has amazing upside and potential and will be in the MLB by next year. Get it right chief... smh
This was so much fun to make! One player I forgot to mention.. plays for the Dodgers.. any guesses? 🤷🏼♂️
Fuzzy Bellinger? Hernandez? I have no clue lol
Turner or Muncy
I have not watched the vid yet but those are my guesses
Kershaw
Fuzzy you should make a video of people who started off their career amazing to going to the worst or not good
Yelich wasn’t even that bad he won a gold glove and a silver slugger
Matthew Tentler that’s a terrible argument, that’s like saying Chris Sale sucked with the White Sox because he has played better in Boston.
Matthew Tentler the name of the video is players who sucked. I don’t recall Yelich ever even being below average in Miami
Da Kid IV it’s also like saying miggy sucked on the Marlins before joining the tigers
Ya seriously, Yelich still hit over .280 every year with the Marlins
@@bubbyboi565 It's not even the batting average. Trout is batting .280. It's the on base percentage. He had a 400 OBP in Miami, and has a .420 in Milwaukee. He's was already a disciplined hitter, but now he has more pop.
Scherzer actually started his career with the diamondbacks
#DATBOI he was one idependnt team before the majors
#DATBOI and they traded him for IAN KENNEDY
#DATBOI I was yelling at the screen when he said the tigers
The D’backs made a bad trade, very impatient, but that’s how prospects go- this video is bizarre.
And won a cy young with the tigers... clearly was good
I think Justin Turner and Max Muncy are good examples as well. Both started very poorly then as soon as the Dodgers got them, they blasted off and became great players
But Justin turner was good on the Mets.
@@andrewluna8046 yelich was also good on the marlins
Andrew Luna no he wasn’t

Josh Donaldson
He was with the cubs for 30 minutes and got traded.
He was warming up the catcher then got traded while in the bullpen
Yes bro✊🏻
What about Edwin Encarnacion
Damn those 2015-16 Jays were special

Marcell Ozuna has been worse since being traded
Sabathia won 17 games his rookie season.
He just named a lot of good players in the league.
Josh Harrison sucks
Max scherzer started his career with the diamondbacks
PTBNLs aren't "throw in" picks, they are usually players who cannot be traded yet due to MLB rules.
Wade Davis, Khris Davis, Rich Hill, Justin Turner, Max Muncy, Charlie Blackmon, and Edwin Encarnacion
Charlie Blackmon was always a star player and nothing changed about Rich Hill.
Amir Garrett

1:42 “keep your head down”😂😂😂
yeah... keep your head down.. stay humble
I understand that yelich has played at a much higher level in Milwaukee but he was still a great player in Miami. All star, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger. He was always a good player he shouldn't be on the list.
Sorry Fuzz you’re wrong on this one, Yelich was a great ballplayer already with Miami, the only difference in Milwaukee is a tick in average and a ton of pop. Yelich was also not only traded for Lewis Brinson, not the worst deal of all time, Jordan Yamamoto is part of that deal and is currently 4-0 with a 1.59 ERA in the bigs, and Monte Harrison and Isan Diaz are tearing it up in the minors, as Isan already has 20 something bombs in AAA. Not to mention Brinson is also killing it in AAA since being sent down and having a fine tuning to his swing. Sorry but you’re wrong on that one
Bautista finally got good when he decided to grow himself a beard lol. Fear the Beard.
Scherzos wasn't even with the Tigers for his first two seasons
Kenley Jansen and Max Muncy fit on this list too. Kenley was a former catcher but couldn't hit so they made him a pitcher and he has been the best closer of our generation this year has been shaky but has been thee best closer since Mariono Rivera. Max muncy was released from the athletics and was about to quit baseball when the dodgers picked him.
Yelich won a sliver slugger in Miami right? Idk why he's rly on here... Didn't hit for power but got on at a good clip
Just for Lewis Brinson? No chief, Isan Diaz who’s hitting .300 with 25 bombs and over 60 RBIs in Triple A, Jordan Yamamoto who’s pitching lights out in the MLB, and Monte Harrison who has amazing upside and potential and will be in the MLB by next year. Get it right chief... smh
As a MLB the show player you should know that Scherzer started with the DBacks
Bautista learned his leg kick and started it as soon as the ball was being thrown and that’s what turned it around for him
