Tawnku Imi-Uru my thoughts exactly. Even being a Dodger fan I Feel the same about guys like Crawford, Lindor, Arenado, and Machado which are the best defensive infielders in baseball bar none.
Daniel Martinez Yeah. I am a Phillies fan, so I really dislike the Braves. But despite that Freddie Freeman is my favorite first baseman for that reason (not to mention he's a really good player).
@@crazyforbaseball1201 as a braves fan I understand why you hate my team just like I hate your team, Freeman has been my favorite first baseman for a long time as well, I appreciate your sports man like attitude, your my favorite Phillips fan. Lol
Search 'Trout turns two with help of some trickery'. Great heads up deke the baserunner play by Simmons. He's such a beast, he set the record for defensive wins above replacement in 2013. He might be one of the most under appreciated baseball players ever.
Good point! Why does the 11 O'clock sports news always just show homer after homer? Nothing exciting about watching a ball go over the wall. I rather see defensive gems like these or great outfield throws or catches.
What's really scary now is that Simmons has started to become an offensive force as well. He had 7+ WAR last year. That's JUST outside MVP territory. I realize he won't ever win it because defense doesn't get the respect it deserves, but DAMN. P.S He is on pace for around 9 WAR this season. That *IS* MVP level.
I wouldn’t word it quite that way even though you’re right in a sense. Swanson is a stout kid and Albies... Ozzie is just something else. It all worked itself out
andrelton was honestly the only reason for me to watch braves games after chipper retired. now i just mildly follow baseball, braves are gonna be lit in a few years tho so i'll get back into it
Dansby’s offense makes up a little bit. Defensively you won’t see many like Simba ever. His relays from the cutoff spot were my favorite plays to watch.
And I use to be a big Ozzie Smith Fan when he was Playing Now I am a big A. Simmons Fan He has since been traded to the Angles, Bad loss for the Braves I think etc.
Why did the braves have to trade Simmons. He was a great defensive shortstop. In my opinion, he’s way better than dansby swanson. If the braves has him still instead of Swanson, him and Albies would’ve been a great duo.
Porn
this is SEX

Wtf
Curtis Wogan 急な下ネタが固定されてて草。
When my wife walked in my office room I closed the browser this was so filthy
Andrelton Simmons is everything that is beautiful about the game of baseball. To see him in action is an honor.
Tawnku Imi-Uru my thoughts exactly. Even being a Dodger fan I Feel the same about guys like Crawford, Lindor, Arenado, and Machado which are the best defensive infielders in baseball bar none.
And the braves might still have them if it wasnt for poor judgement along with craig kimbrel
I’m a Braves fan. To see simba in action is kind of soul crushing . Dansby is good but he’s no Simmons. Then again not many people are.
I had somehow never heard of him before.
As an infield defense fetishist, this is almost pornography for me 😂😂😂
He cant hit
anyone else appreciate how freddy freeman goes all out
Daniel Martinez Yeah. I am a Phillies fan, so I really dislike the Braves. But despite that Freddie Freeman is my favorite first baseman for that reason (not to mention he's a really good player).
Freeman is a joy to watch. He is a well rounded 1st baseman that any team would be lucky to have.
@@crazyforbaseball1201 as a braves fan I understand why you hate my team just like I hate your team, Freeman has been my favorite first baseman for a long time as well, I appreciate your sports man like attitude, your my favorite Phillips fan. Lol
I was going to say a good chunk of this highlight reel is thanks to freeman
I get to watch Freddie do that every year. It's a natural thing
He’s unbelievable, everyone loves the homeruns but I’m the guy who loves watching defensive plays
This dude is the least praised player in the games history, point blank best defensive player ever IMHO. He just makes it look so easy.
one of the best defenders of all time
How have I never heard of this man before?
These plays are so outstanding
I am actually LAUGHING.
Unreal!
Probably because he was never a good hitter I would say even below average. His defense was so good it didn't matter though
The play at 4:59 is probably the best defensive play ever by a SS

Trout is God.
Which says a lot about Simmons that he stands out so much playing next to him.
I'd rather watch this than a highlight of someone mashing dingers.
Good point! Why does the 11 O'clock sports news always just show homer after homer? Nothing exciting about watching a ball go over the wall. I rather see defensive gems like these or great outfield throws or catches.
I still can't believe Atlanta traded him for spare parts.

Ondurs Kelto I’d buy him back. We had a pretty big expense to pay for at the time. It’s a nice expense and it even has a Chick Fil A
My exact feelings their big Defensive loss etc.
Ondurs yea newcomb is horrible now
Most players take the field looking to play defense. Simba takes the field looking for outs, and he finds them where most never think to look.
We're gonna miss him for sure. Hands down top 3 defensive SS of all time.
The man has some serious skills...
A throwing arm like a Bullet etc.
andrelton was honestly the only reason for me to watch braves games after chipper retired. now i just mildly follow baseball, braves are gonna be lit in a few years tho so i'll get back into it
TheBDHShow braves got one of the best defensive shortstops
Oliver Lim albies or swanson?
TheBDHShow swanso
TheBDHShow the braves are decent this year. and the future is unreal
This comment aged very well
Simmons, crawford, kiermier, arenado, machado, yadi, and salvador, the best defensive players in the game simmons in my opinion is the best though
xlAnt perfect list
Kevin Pillar.
Heyward, Inciarte, Lindor and Betts are pretty good on defense as well
Nice list...
You have to squeeze Pillar in their somewhere though..!
Byron Buxton
Albert Pujols is the leader in hitting into double plays every year. While Simmons is the leader in turning them.
Dansby plays good defense but Simba is just special
I miss him every day
Dansby’s offense makes up a little bit. Defensively you won’t see many like Simba ever. His relays from the cutoff spot were my favorite plays to watch.
Exactly, Dansby holds his own but Simmons makes plays no one else can make. Hes ALWAYS in the right position.
Greatest defensive player of the 21st century
I miss Simmons more then most of my dead realatives.
You never realize how important defense is until your team is bad at it (2018 Yankees)
The fact that the receiver is Freeman puts me at ease.
Hall of famer. We may never see a shortstop like him ever again
Got damn that Braves old stadium is dark af hard to see the close plays
Best SS to ever play the game professionally.. don't even argue about it
I almost stop watching the Braves when they traded him. What a sad day it was
This guy is better at throwing from the hole than Derek Jeter
Imagine Simmons hitting like Jeter with this defensive skill… whoa
3 times. 3 times travis d'arnaud got robbed by him in this video on almost the same play lol
The range is great, but that arm is incredible.
he never gives up the ball and outing.
Superhuman talent with the glove but sadly probably won't be a hall of famer, which would be a damn crime.
That play at 5:00. That’s our Simba. Too bad he’s wasting away out West.
11:08 the runner's helmet tho xD
3rd play is prolly my favorite play of all time from any shortstop
This is the greatest ss I ever saw tied wiz Ozzie
And I use to be a big Ozzie Smith Fan when he was Playing Now I am a big A. Simmons Fan He has since been traded to the Angles, Bad loss for the Braves I think etc.
Ozzie is actually a great comparison as far as creativity and magic defensively but Simba has a much stronger arm.
Best defensive shortstop since ozzie. Maybe better.
I hope you Angels fans have enjoyed this as much as us Braves fans did
It hurt my soul when Atlanta traded him.
The amount of times Travis d'Arnaud almost beat him is ridiculous.
best I've ever seen
Most impressive part:
Those leg splits
No, the most impressive part are been made by the single best fielder in history.
They say defense wins. But Andruw is not in the HOF. Simmons, Jones and Maddux the 3 best at their positions I ever seen and all was once a brave !!
I think Freddys singing soprano now
Best shortstop
2:40 damn....
Dude keep a max 1 replay for each play, we don't need to watch 5 different angles everytime.
2:39 wtf?
tnx for the video
it's awesome
freeman is good
jooD park Possibly the best first baseman in the game.
No Rizzo is the best
Why did the braves have to trade Simmons. He was a great defensive shortstop. In my opinion, he’s way better than dansby swanson. If the braves has him still instead of Swanson, him and Albies would’ve been a great duo.
7:37초 이 하나로 모든게 설명된다.
If Simons wasn’t in the league the total league average would be higher by about .100. He makes indisputable base hit into ground ball out
Not really sure why every play has to have three replays of it
Gannon Kauffman because of how majestic they are
My #1 fav player. Simba bad ass
一塁のフリーマンもすげーよな
I've never seen his equal
Im new to baseball, can someone explain the pitcher DH proposed rule?
2:32 he never touched second, but still an amazing play, just needed to slide his shoe over the base and it would have been 2
Theres no runner u drunk
?? What are you talking about?? There was no runner on first. Christ...
Not to take anything away but for some of these, the runners were easily safe if replay was a thing.
Chip and Joe with some great calls
What the... 4:28
Dansby's great but damn Andrelton Simmons was a god
Second only to Ozzie Smith
I've watched both. I think Simba is better. But picking between the two is honestly like picking a favorite color. There's no wrong choice.
Honestly better defense than jeter
Worst mistake the Braves have ever made,I mean come on,you don't trade the best defensive SS in the majors.
I miss Simba
Poor Travis d’arnaud
And the dumb Braves traded him to the Angles Braves lose a good defensive SS Player etc.
Gold glove 2017
07:33舒跑~
4:25 Who is the fucking runner 😂
잘한다ㅎㅎ
글러브 공 빼는 속도가 느리네
단 하나에 흠점
why would you include all the video review? It added like, five unnecessary minutes to the video
This could have been literally 6 minutes shorter.
love simmons but harper was safe
Ozzie Smith is better tho
Love the vid but the 10 replays of the throw are excessive lol he’s the best defender I’ll ever see
