Putting Diaz at number 1 even though he's coming off of a year of not pitching and a major injury is an interesting choice 😂 You dropped Tatis from 4th best player in baseball to 16th best player after he missed a year.
@@betodrift1996 1. It wasn't an ACL, it was his Patellar Tendon and 2. As a pitcher he is constantly relying on his legs either to land or create force
Yea Diaz ain't young either, and the amount of RP that can still be effective when they're aging and losing a bit off the fastball is.... Slim. Maybe he's one of those rare breeds that can finesse some success in his late years, but it's pretty foolish to bet on that.
So you ranked Edwin Diaz #1 without him pitching in all of 2023 but you don't rank Felix Bautista because he's not pitching next year? Doesn't make sense. I thought this was based on this past year of play heading into next year? Even if Felix isn't playing, he was the 1st or 2nd best reliever in all of MLB last year.
His bias had to go through for this one, he couldn’t have one of his precious mets be ranked number 1 despite they’re an awful team on paper going into next year
@@VictorRodriguez-qn1kz they also spent more money than he actually was owed because they gave him interest(and only gave him the deferrals because they thought they were gonna make money off investments with Bernie Madoff)
It's the best current pitchers, not the best pitchers of 2023. Him not pitching last year doesn't necessarily have to mean he gets pushed down the list.
The Mets bias is unreal. He's super good. I don't think anyone disputes that. He is also maybe the most smoke and mirrors pitcher in the Majors. Consistently some of the best velo, whiff rate, and K rate. However. He has also consistently finished around the 50th percentile in both hard hit% and BB%, and the middle of the pack in these important stats isn't nearly good enough to consider him "the best without a doubt" coming off an entire season where he didn't throw a pitch.
I mean when you throw 101 on the gun and strike out the world you will uave a higher hard hit percentage and walk rate and they aren't even high. Shouldn't be number 1 he didn't pitch last year but this is a ridiculous argument
@@EdwardFlood-x7l You don't need to accept my argument, but Diaz's fastball only has a run value of 2, which is in the 57th percentile. Sure, he's a strikeout machine, but it's dumb to suggest that walk rate and hard hit% are stats inherently and solely tied to high velo. Gregory Santos had a FB velo in the 99th percentile, as well as a bb% and hard hit% both well above average. Before you ask, no I am not suggesting that he is better, nor am I a White Sox fan.

His slider is 93 and the whiff rate on it is incredible
@@SirSeams28 all yall 4 year Olds out here with the attention span of a blade of grass gotta get some original shit this joke ain't been funny in 3 years and yet you still use it.
And he continues to prove it correct, Diaz was injured all year, at a position where players can fluctuate as much as a Relief pitcher, that should disqualify him from 1st, especially for someone who was less than stellar in years prior@@epict1337
Wow....I tolerate a lot of blatant bias with these but this one really REALLY takes the cake. Putting Diaz, absent from 2023, at number one, and not even mentioning Bautista apart from being injured, even though he DID play a lot and was similarly nasty to Hader...that's really selective. REALLY selective. If these rankings are strictly projections for the upcoming year, fine it makes sense and I get it, but would it kill you to give props to the one of the definitive top guys from this past season, considering the projections (and thus the main content of the video) are based on past performance? And I know, entitled viewer comment who doesn't have to watch if they hate the content. I'm speaking my mind and spewing my mouth. It's not all that deep but it's still sincere.
And this is why you cant trust mark to make a non mets biased video. If a guy is hurt for an entire season he is worth nothing to your team therefore he isnot the best relief pitcher in baseball but mark just had to give his poor mets number 1 in something bc god knows they didnt earn it. Any mets ayer who could have been ranked number 1 got traded when they realized even with a great team put together they are they mets they will screw it up
yah bro your biases are showing hard on this one, ain’t no way you actually put a guy that didn’t play an ounce of baseball last season at #1. I’m actually dumbfounded he had the courage to post this lmao
It hurts for O's fans that The Mountain won't be able to pitch this year. Just a massive human bringing absolute gas with an insane splitter. Can't wait to see him back on the mound in 2025.
I think Matt Brash should’ve gotten the nod over Munoz. He was the most consistent pitcher in the Mariners pen last year. Munoz struggled like crazy once Sewald left.
Of course, Marc can't stand that the Mets are like the 4th best team in the NL East and don't have a #1 player at any positions, so he has to ignore logic for the "best reliever ever" Edwin Diaz
As a braves fan Iglesias at 15 is perfectly fine, he's a really good relief pitcher but there are a lot of really good relief pitchers in baseball. What I'm upset about is tanner Scott and Edwin Diaz rankings lol, pure silliness.
Pierce Johnson is arguably the best reliever on the team now His advanced metrics and pitch movement was ELITE once he left Colorado…I’m talking like one of the top relievers in the league elite especially based on his pitch movement
Clay Holmes is nasty, the only reason he isn't #1 is because there's about that 1/10 outing where the sinker isn't biting much. But when it bites, its one of the best pitches in baseball.
No no no, Chapman should not be on this list. If a pitcher gives you a heart attack when pitching, he shouldn’t be on this list, sorry mark but I disagree with you. He blew many saves with the rangers. Who ever gets him in free agency will give them a heart attack.
I figured out how to watch your content bc you are actually pretty darn good with your takes. I just have to ignore and skip over any of the Mets players you talk about bc those rankings are going to be delulu. Everything else is pretty solid. For the list, I just simply decided to take ED off of it and move everyone up a slot.
Did you just say Kenley Jansen walked 90% of batters he faced?!?! Bloody hell! Chris Martin should have been/should be the Red Sox Closer! I’m sure Jansen was good when he was on other teams…but he’s old and tired…you can see it on his face. Sorry, but it’s about time he retire.
I don’t understand the logic in his rankings. You either gotta value recent production or consistency more unless you admit your rankings are complete guesses based on gut feeling. Diaz hasn’t exactly been consistent and didn’t even play last year because of injury so him at 1 is crazy to me

Wow he did it. He put Diaz at #1 who didn’t even pitch last year lol
