@@chedwilliams9845 he's definitely top 10 for me, it's hard not to love him. Best leadoff hitter ever, best base stealer ever, one of the best left fielders and best hitters ever. You can't possibly overstate him.
To be fair Jake Fraley had a lot going on last year. He got sick early in the season when the Reds were in Seattle. His daughter has also been fighting cancer. He started picking things up before the All-Star break, and was better towards the end of the season. Hopefully this year he gets back to form.
Dropped about 15 lbs that zapped his power he typically has. Should be a fun bounce back candidate putting the weight on and the fact his daughter is doing so much better. 🙏
@@christopherfox3891two things can be true. No the Yankees would not have made the WS without Soto and No, Soto didn’t CARRY the Yankees. Completely disregards what Stanton did
Soto is a DH playing RF. Great hitter but poor defensively and a poor base runner. And I don’t mean because of SB’s, I mean him leading the league in base runner interference. To say he can “do anything he wants” in RF depends on how many outs and games he costs the Mets.
Fr. I love our current outfield so much. Everyone has a high ceiling so let's hope they all step in. It is the DH and the infield that concerns me so much.
even though Lawrence Butler had one of his 3 hr games against my Cincinnati reds, he seems like the real deal, love him as a player, looking for him to do big things with Brent Rooker
I don't care how many times I have seen it, that Matt Vierling homer on a sinker a full foot inside makes me feel something. And I'm not even a Tigers fan
Appreciate these rankings Marc but you must realize that Colton Cowser will play LEFT field mostly and Tyler O'Neill will play RIGHT field and DH. The only way they move Cowser from left is if they trade Cedric Mullins and move Cowser to center.
As an Orioles fan, you kind fucked it up with our outfield. Cowser will play left. (You got Ceddy on Center, tho) and O'Neill will play right, along with Kjerstad (although he's likely to get traded
I just want to take the time to send my thoughts and prayers go out to the Friends and Family of Rickey Henderson who sadly passed away today. RIP Rickey 😢 🙏 🕊️
Hey Marc, what about Mickey Moniak he took over Mike Trout while he was injured this season and he was really good. Could you rank him please Marc? In my opinion as an Angels fan he deserves a lot of credit. Plz Marc?
Judge put up those numbers while having a horrific april and a pretty bad last month too. Still ended up with the best offensive season by any right hander in mlb history and it couldve been even better.
Commenting before watching the video. I wonder if Marc will let Mets bias win and pick the generational hitter or if he’ll do what’s right and take the best position player in the game who is coming off of the greatest offensive season by a right handed hitter ever. Judge deserves it, hopefully Marc put him at one Edit: Now I watched, good job Marc
I read that the Phillies tried to package Castellanos and Bohm for Tucker and I was like 😂. Maybe Bohm and a prospect, but Castellanos with that contract? No thanks.
Mark I have a question next you should do 13 days of Christmas and add the utility player to it, I feel like there is a lot of players should be talked more
Hating on Aaron judge just because his former teammate went to your team is crazy. Knowing there are no stats or metrics that tell u Soto is better than him
@@Daniel-rc2bu he has 200 something postseason at bats, that's roughly 1/3 of a season. That's not nothing, but everyone has had a bad half season, even the best players ever. Not to mention postseason is against nothing but good teams, with above average pitching. So Judge's below average postseason track record isn't really that concerning, he could have one monster postseason run and completely erase that narrative.
If you hit a hard liner right at the left fielder, barreled it up great exit velocity. That’s considered a better at bat then a solid contact hit up the middle. In my mind putting the baseball we’re it needs to generate hits is often overlooked.
Dude what are you talking about with Adell “he was decent out there in the outfield interested to see what it looks like out there in the corner” just tell me you don’t research that he played RF the whole year basically and was a gold glove finalist
Shohei 1a Judge 1b It’s so close between these 2. But if someone pitches and hits like Ohtani then you have to rank him just a smidge over Aaron Judge. From a Yanks fan.
23:10-23:17 the average Mets fan when they realize his contract is going to be horrible after 5 years from now , paying 50 mil for a contact hitting DH who doesn’t swing the bat
Obviously I get why you did it for the vid but Palacios 100% will not be the opening day RF. They're still intending to acquire an OF, and even if they didn't, they're more likely to give Suwinski another shot
I still have faith in Jordan Walker, a few years ago the cardinals were claiming his mother was a virgin. I like him as a bounce back player in 2025. I would prefer him over Jo Adell maybe not going into next year, but overall I think he has career high potential.
Cardinals should have never tried to tweak his swing I hope the new hitting coach can really help him Get him out the OF and just have him DH he would do better I bet
"Kepler has been able to give you an .800 OPS in previous years" this is just false lol. He's only had an .800 OPS twice in his decade long career. He's been a below average hitter in 6 of his 9 full seasons. You're clinging way to hard to his 2019 juiced ball numbers and his 2023 when he was atrocious for half a season before getting hot for 3 months.
If the Pirates start the season with Josh Palacios in RF and IKF at SS, can you please do a video titled "WTF are you doing". How do you put together a pitching staff of Skenes, Jones, Chandler, Keller and Falter/Ashcraft, 4 of them making league minimum and not even try to field a team that could compete in a terrible NL Central. Think about it, that is their rotation and as of today, I would pick them to finish last in their division. SELL THE TEAM BOB.
Nick Castellanos could easily be one of the greatest players in the MLB if everything goes right. Unfortunately, things "going right" for him would lead to there being some tragedy every other day to power him
Very confused about you putting Vierling as the Tiger's right fielder. Not only was right field not the position he played most in 2024, but two others played right field more than him (Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter)
I don't see that level of value in Fernando Tatis jr? It's one of those things where you get the physical tools, but you don't get the heart, you don't get the grittiness, you don't get the hustle and a guy that is a smart player and teammate.
I'm so annoyed the Yankees didn't get Tucker.... Specially knowing we have the short right field wall 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ if you would've gotten Tucker would've made loosing Soto a lot easier to handle
Adolis Garcia was the rangers best player for the first month or so then he had a bad collision with marcus semien in the outfield and both of them js weren't the same players after that
I am aware Max Kepler signed with the Phillies, it was previously recorded before the news
Kind of figured, probably would've been ranked 24th instead of 16th.
Max Kepler just dropped to 28
Now he’s off the list
Yankees better
Judge's 223 OPS+ for 2024 is just such a goofy number that it genuinely doesn't feel real
Unbelievable!
neither does his negative cWPA in the postseason but its real, biggest choker in mlb
It’s amazing how terrible he is in the playoffs

You should do at the end a team total putting all the player rankings together and seeing what teams rank the highest based on all their players
Yes. That would be a fun video.
Great idea
fantastic idea

Salty janks fan lmaooo
Yankee tears!
Someone’s upset
Coping still 😂 Soto chose the better team. It's ok, cupcake.
“Juan Soto carried the Yankees in the playoffs” no tf he did not 😂. Stanton had one of the greatest post seasons of all time
Big facts. People quick to forget that Stanton had the best performance during the playoff run.
Yes he did, Yankees wouldn’t have made the World Series without Soto.

@mjrobles24 I bet you liked the homerun against Cleveland hahaha
Casty had a .800 OPS after the first month of the season. Just had a slow start is all. He balled out in the playoffs too
I love casty. I feel like he’s underrated
Judge had a horrible first month too
Day 8, and it’s a good one!!
Biggest Rise: Wilyer Abreu, 23 to 14 (9 spots)
Biggest Drop: George Springer, 11 to 21 (10 spots)
Next season we will all be saying Juan Soto would've won MVP if it wasn't for Ohtani, Mookie, Freddie, Acuna, Harper etc...
RIP Rickey Henderson
Agreed.

Will also note that victor robles started his mariners career by making an error in the outfield and grounding into a game ending double play

Man as an Astros fan seeing Tucker's statline for 2024 even with all that time he missed absolutely makes me nauseous 🤢

Stanton carried just as much as Soto in the Playoffs. Can’t give him all the credit
Rip Rickey Henderson.
Im just gonna assume acuna has been ranked at something like 17 cause thats on brand for Marc these days
I’d love to see elly and butler next to each other they give off similar vibes and have similar builds
That matt wallner homer at comerica was 5 rows back of me lol
Lawrence Butler was so damn exciting to watch last season I bought his jersey

who's here after aaron judge got traded to the white sox
I’m here after Ronald acuna got traded to the athletics
Who’s here after Shohei Ohtani got traded to the Portland Pickles?
Judge’s 2024 is legitimately the best baseball season of all time imo. 223 OPS+ and 158 games in CF just doesn’t feel real. 10 SB’s just for giggles.
The thing with fraley is because he got really sick before the start of the season & lost 20 pounds which is prolly why his power numbers are down.
Love to see matt vierling get some love
Who is here after lindor got traded to the mets
Pages over Yaz?? Hell nah man
Do a video on Ricky Henderson RIP
I hope these list have really shown that the Braves (if healthy) are a Top 3 Team in the League!
This was already known
as a reds fan I'd love to see Rece Hinds in RF over Benson and Fraley, he's such a freak
Hating on Aaron judge just because his former teammate went to your team is crazy. Knowing there are no stats or metrics that tell u Soto is better than him
Yea that's bonkers. Soto is great, but Judge and Ohtani exist on a different planet than everyone else on this planet.

Jackson Chourio #1. Better than Judge and Soto
Would you consider adding a Utility? It does have its own GG and Silver Slugger afterall
mike yastrzemski respect oh i love it here
Sotos defense is a fair criticism lmao why do you mock people bringing it up when you brought up tatis bad defense
My glorious king, Aaron Judge at #1 🤩
For next year, I’d rather have Tucker than Acuna. Pretty solid list though
Shohei 1a
Judge 1b
It’s so close between these 2.
But if someone pitches and hits like Ohtani then you have to rank him just a smidge over Aaron Judge. From a Yanks fan.
The rockies starting RF is going to be Zac Veen
Will Benson is NOT going to get playing time over Fraley, his horrible Bat and Glove can be a AAA player for all I care.
What number is Cleveland
Mark my words, Griffin Conine is gonna go off to start next year.
Is crews still qualified as a rookie next year? I know he’s under 130 ABs but did he have 45+ days on the active roster?
Larry Walker still could be the Rockies starting RF
Santander should be on the DH list.

I feel like right field is more stacked than SS right now.
THANK GOD you didnt put soto over judge lol. Like that wouldve been next level bias
Acuna will be back. Maybe not a huge stolen base guy. I can see him maybe getting 25-30 next season. Go Braves
Defense only is factored in for NL East teams
Cardinals should have never tried to tweak his swing I hope the new hitting coach can really help him
Get him out the OF and just have him DH he would do better I bet
