@@henryroop3671 but he was drafted as a catcher! And hasnt played that position since what... his second year i. The league? People need to stop giving Kyle excuses
They should both be DH's. Both can hit, but they can't play for the same team. Both on the field at the same time? Your starting pitcher had better be Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Nolan Ryan, or Darth Verlander. I remember Castellanos with the Detroit Tigers at third base. The Tigers tried to hide his defensive weaknesses where they get the fewest plays. They failed at that and eventually traded him away cheaply.
Going by errors and Rdfrs it’s Noah Syndergaard. He’s tied this year with Sandy Alcantara at -5 runs saved but has fewer innings. That and he led baseball in negative runs saved last year. There’s an argument to be made for relievers but it’s hard to judge on a smaller sample size
@@AcesShadows lol that’s really not a bad answer! Soto has -2 runs saved so far and projects to have -14 per year (I think that is assuming him to be a starter though so he won’t get those type of innings to achieve that
@@thickyjuiceIt's also harder to judge relievers' defensive abilities with the metrics we have, because those metrics are based on the assumption that players see an average mix of low-leverage and high-leverage situations. Relievers see more high-leverage situations than other players per innings played - that's often why they're called in, after all; to defuse a high-leverage situation - which means their defensive errors are more likely to result in runs.
I’m a tigers fan and after he got layer there about a season and a half I didn’t think he was that bad. Not good but with the bat he was more than qualified to play the outfield. May have gotten worse the last feee years though
Few things in life are more comical than the duck-billed platypus, and watching Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber pretend to be outfielders. In fact, they both possess the baseball fielding acumen of said duck-billed platypus
Last season against the padres Garcia tried to turn a double play but he pulled his foot off of second early and threw a two-hopper to first and didn’t get either out
That’s true; the years he’s been better defensively are mostly the same years he’s had average-or-better players in the infield with him, so that makes sense.
It's funny how castellanos made several important high difficulty catches in the postseason last year, it makes me think he can do things like that, but just doesn't care enough
It felt like I was looking at video from plays at the old timers game I couldn’t help but notice, all these guys got one thing in common, no one is wearing glasses
Wisdom’s fielding is mid, he can field well sometimes but his hitting is absolutely terrible! He can hit one 5280 ft but only when it’s his pitch. Strikes out too much, pops up too much.
Idk when people are gonna realize this but the Royals' catchers have such bad defensive stats because their pitchers are historically bad, both at controlling their pitches and at holding runners. (Also MJ is a full-time right fielder now.)
I have zero confidence in newer advanced defensive stats like 'framing', blocks below average (or whatever) and whatever other shit they're coming up with based on rudimentary data. It often doesn't match the eye test.
I recall a few videos making the case that Jeter was a vastly overrated defensive shortstop. And I think their statistical analysis of him makes a good case. But it's been a while since I have seen any of them so I could be wrong.
Cubs fan here I think Joey shouldn't be on this list.Votto is 39 and going to retire soon or later and tries to play as many games as possible what did you expect? If I'm not mistaking he entered the Majors back in 2007 he is just not the same anymore let the guy play his last season or seasons and that's it but that's just my opinion

Technically MJ melendez has been permenently moved to outfield
Watching Schwarber play left field is truly entertaining, as long as you're not a Phillies fan.
Dude shut up
As a philles fan, i was not shocked when i heard kyle schwarber and nick castellanos were the worst outfielders
Especially after schwarber sold the game against the braves
@@henryroop3671 but he was drafted as a catcher! And hasnt played that position since what... his second year i. The league? People need to stop giving Kyle excuses
@@TeemoQuinton I’m not giving him excuses. I’m a Braves fan. He literally just gave us the game last game by dropping a fly ball
@@henryroop3671 lmao I saw that too.

Who’s the worst fielding pitcher?
gregory soto i think

I will never get over how many people said Perez was the worst defensive catcher and MJ just said “hold my beer”
Mj ain’t even a catcher anymore lmao
Castellanos has been a lot better this season (thank god). He “broke out” defensively during the playoffs and has been reliable since imo
I’m a tigers fan and after he got layer there about a season and a half I didn’t think he was that bad. Not good but with the bat he was more than qualified to play the outfield. May have gotten worse the last feee years though
AnalyticswithChris did a good video talking about that
Not really lol
Not really go look at his advanced metrics on baseball savant
I’d love a video where you explain the best defensive players at their respective positions
Gorman has been stepping it up this year. It also helps that his 3B arm helps him make up for some potential bobbles on grounders
Worst defensive DH🧐🧐🧐
I would love to see if Nolan gormans numbers are different this year he’s made some stellar plays at 2b
3:06 Joey could have just tagged him
Few things in life are more comical than the duck-billed platypus, and watching Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber pretend to be outfielders. In fact, they both possess the baseball fielding acumen of said duck-billed platypus
to be fair to castellanos, hes done better since the postseason
@@Crynnnot really lol
@@glusur76yes really lol
@@waffleman3573 go look at his advanced analytics for defense it's pretty horrible
Hilarious schwarber was in this after he sold the the Braves game
Last season against the padres Garcia tried to turn a double play but he pulled his foot off of second early and threw a two-hopper to first and didn’t get either out
Can’t understand the Votto hate. The guy has had minor league players throwing it to him all career and has to reach for 90% of the stuff his way
this isn’t for his career, he’s been a good defender for most of his career
Now thats what I call cap
@@paddyprochazkawell it cant be this year because he has played 2 games
That’s true; the years he’s been better defensively are mostly the same years he’s had average-or-better players in the infield with him, so that makes sense.
@@matthewajm it was based off of last year
Love the video can't wait for the next one bro
Bryan Reynolds was 2nd in Golden glove voting for center field 2 years ago.
I understand gorman was pretty bad defensively but he has improved A LOT this year
But remember … worst among the only 60-200 players in world at their position good enough to play in MLB.
So basically, always try to hit fly balls against Philly.
Castellanos is clutch though. 😀
Schwarber is what it looks like when you put a catcher in LF, which is exactly what happened.
It's funny how castellanos made several important high difficulty catches in the postseason last year, it makes me think he can do things like that, but just doesn't care enough
Votto is a great defender. I must be missing something
Heyyy Gleybar Torres is in here. I guess he stepped up his game.
Soto may give Castellanos a run for his money in right field though.
Also, Kyle Schwarber reminds me of Jeremy Giambi in the field.
It felt like I was looking at video from plays at the old timers game
I couldn’t help but notice, all these guys got one thing in common, no one is wearing glasses
I had no clue MJ was a catcher
Wisdom’s fielding is mid, he can field well sometimes but his hitting is absolutely terrible! He can hit one 5280 ft but only when it’s his pitch. Strikes out too much, pops up too much.
Luis Garcia hasn’t ben a shortstop for like 2 years
Idk when people are gonna realize this but the Royals' catchers have such bad defensive stats because their pitchers are historically bad, both at controlling their pitches and at holding runners. (Also MJ is a full-time right fielder now.)
I have zero confidence in newer advanced defensive stats like 'framing', blocks below average (or whatever) and whatever other shit they're coming up with based on rudimentary data. It often doesn't match the eye test.
@@Demoralized88all those stats are just made up bs. They mold together like 4 stats to try to make one stat.
gormans gettin better
votto has been a lazy defender for a long time
Wasn’t Jeter the worst statistical defensive shortstop of all time?
I recall a few videos making the case that Jeter was a vastly overrated defensive shortstop. And I think their statistical analysis of him makes a good case. But it's been a while since I have seen any of them so I could be wrong.
Definitely not the worst defender ever but is definitely bad
Patrick wisdom is struggling on both sides this year
Garcia has been playing 2B permanently this season. CJ Abrams hasn’t been much better fielding wise tho…
Idk why but I wanted to know the worst defensive pitcher as well.
Gorman is a way better fielder this year
Is anyone surprised that the Phillies have 2 guys on this list 😂
They could have 3 with Hoskins but they all hit bombs so it doesn’t matter
@@grahammarshall1199they are in 3rd place in the NL East with the 4th highest payroll in all of baseball. So it seems like it kind of does matter.
@@pjbuma13 division standings don’t matter in 2023 with the wild cards
@@grahammarshall1199 well they are on the outside looking in at the wildcard as well.
@@pjbuma13 Kyle is leading the league in Walk Off RBI they’ll get in
Who’s the worst fielder in this video?
Worst defensive DH?
Worst offensive pitcher?
Cubs fan here I think Joey shouldn't be on this list.Votto is 39 and going to retire soon or later and tries to play as many games as possible what did you expect?

unfortunately this video is about stats not about how much we like him as a person
stats dont care about your feelings
Wow a horrible defensive vid with no Gary Sanchez
Pigs do fly
Joey Votto shouldn't be on this list he's not the prime Joey Votto anymore, he's a DH now
Stats are stats. Get your copium out of here
I dont care if hes 50 votto has a gold glove hes not the worst defensive first baseman
Yeah has a gold glove
ok castellanos is a reach
Not really he's pretty terrible in the outfield, on baseball savant he's 23 outs above average, 4 outfielder jump, and 40 arm strength
Any baseball fan apes here think of GME when he says DRS?
