Pretty sad to see how far Bellinger has fallen. He was an absolute monster a couple years ago. I mean, with his approach and swing at the plate, anyone with even a bit of a baseball brain knows it was unsustainable, but he was fun to watch. Hopefully he can make whatever adjustments he needs to and be a decent MLB player again.

I think Brandon Nimmo will too. I still think in my opinion though, Castellanos should be somewhere in the rankings.
"I thought Castellanos was going to be top twenty! " Well, he IS in the top twenty by my book. Half the fun of lists like this is arguing about who is included or excluded, what the rankings are, etc. But when a list is just plain silly --- Castellanos not in the top 50!!!! --- it's not even worth argument. (I'm NOT a Reds fan, BTW.)
There were definitely people that could have and probably should have made this list. Cedric Mullins, Teoscar Hernandez, Nick Castellanos, Ozzie Albies, Salvador Perez, George Springer, Giancarlo Stanton, Mitch Haniger, Jose Abreu, Liam Hendricks, Josh Hader, maybe Austin Riley, and probably even Christian Yelich should be there or at least in an "Honorable Mentions column"
I know it's only been a year but no Austin Riley? If he repeats his 2021 performance in 2022, I better see him inside the top 30 this time next year. Dude was a 6 WAR player at the age of 24.
Marc hates the Braves because he's jealous that they're much better than his Mets so he will avoid ranking our boy's correctly. Charlie Morton, Austin Riley and Max Fried should all be ranked in this list not just Freddie and Ronald. Also how are Josh Hader and Liam Hendricks not in this list over some of the guys that are always injured those dudes are stud relievers.
@@blairmcbride5437 max fried should not be in this list. He does overrate Mets tho. Scherzer is damn near 40, just had arm soreness limit him in the playoffs, and is ranked higher than a dude who finished above him in cy young voting lol. As for Franco being ranked and Riley not, that is pretty crazy
@@tristankenzevich8078 I definitely disagree Max is one of the main reasons that my Braves are world series champions he was amazing after the all star break. Marc had him ranked 29th which was total bullshit.
Thanks for the rankings Marc! Only changes I would make are moving Vladdy and Harper above J Ram and Trea Turner. J Ram + Trea were so underrated for so long, but 7 and 8 feel a little high with Harper and Vladdy behind them. Absolutely nailed the top 5!
Yes and let's not forget that Juan Soto had a stellar second half last season ... and it still wasn't better than Harper's second half. Carried the franchise that was hurting everywhere except wheeler and was a game or three away from ending the braves postseason before it got started.
The main problem with this list is the inclusion of pitchers, Nimmo & Alvarez. Then you can include players like Springer & Mullins etc. Kudos for giving Jose Ramirez some well deserved love.
I like how much time you took explaining how insane Shohei’s stats were and that even the great Babe Ruth didn’t do it in the same year and you put him at #3? Some people have yet to realize what they are witnessing.
You should do a ranking of each rotation and then compile the averages of placing to come up with the rankings for the teams so you can see how it lines up
I've done stuff like that before and it's kinda iffy. Ofc you'd have to rank 150 starting pitchers (5 for each of the 30 teams, maybe even some more), the lower you get down on the list it gets really tough to rank, and when averaging out the rankings, it values depth over the amount of star guys a team has. But I would love to see a way it can be done
@@sw120 Oh for sure, it's not small feat, but it's still fun to go through all the teams, especially when you learn about guys you didn't really know of who actually have solid stats
I’m not a Red Sox fan but I checked Rafael Devers career stats and they’re very impressive for a guy that’s still only 25.He’s on pace to surpass or match the career numbers that players like Machado and Ramirez have at ages 29/30.
So, basically Robbie Ray finishes 1st in Cy Young voting (and by a lot) and Gerrit Cole finishes second with only one first-place vote and yet he's 15th on this list and Ray's not even on the Top 50?
I thought this was a pretty good list overall however I feel like Springer is definitely top 50 and you could make a case for will smith being top 50 aswell. Also I feel like tatis is more in the 7-8 range instead of number 4.
People in the comments either think Ohtani will not be able to pull off similar stats to what he did in 2021, or they don't know 2021 was a year of rehabilitation for him!
I feel Stanton should be on here, even though he was ranked lower at DH he should be higher as a player since he’s starting to play outfield at a decent level again
Who are "most"? The man was 20th in the *AL* MVP ranking in 2021, which was by far his best and longest season in the majors. In order to project him top 20, you're saying that he's not only going to repeat 2021, but comfortably improve on it. That is very much a reach for me. His Statcast metrics do look awesome, but it's also one season, and he plays corner OF.
@@notstarboard wtf u on kyle tucker is top 15 for me, look at his metrics idgaf about mvp cause voters can't vote there's no stats that don't back up that tucker isn't a top 15 player
@@notstarboard MVP ranking is a fucking joke, I couldn't care less about it. Tucker was easily top 5 player in the AL last year, so if he even comes close to his 2021 he's easily top 15.
Funny thing is they don't DRS say he's slightly above average, OAA says he's slightly below average. At this point in time he's average only going to get better.
@@SirGreyy I have watched every blue jay game and he made few errors and scooped a lot of bad throws. That's what you want as a first baseman. Defensive stats don't really matter.
I feel the Cedric Mullins should def be on this list with a 30 30 season, and almost a 300 avg. Nothing against guys like Nimmo but Cedric’s definitely better than him
Nice list man! My biggest gripe is prolly Devers at 41. I think his defense is still his weakness, but I feel like he improved a lot last season on that end. His bat alone should get him into the 30s at least
Have you seen Mike Trout's numbers this first month? This list NAILED IT for #1!!!!! Power, speed, fielding , OBP, he's doing it all. Meanwhile Shohei's mediocre to good. It's gonna be playoffs for Angels if those 2 stay healthy.
my top 50 (assuming everyone is healthy): 1. Mike Trout 2. Jacob DeGrom 3. Bryce Harper 4. Freddie Freeman 5. Ronald Acuna 6. Corbin Burnes 9. Alex Bregman 10. Vladimir Guerrero (finally gonna win his deserved MVP, ranked low cause of speed) 11. Zack Wheeler 12. Jose Ramirez 13. Marcus Semien 14. Juan Soto 15. Max Scherzer 16. Trea Turner 17. Fernando Tatis (depends on his defense) 18. Nolan Arenado 19. Paul Goldschmidt 20. Mookie Betts (used to be top 5, dont think thats happening this season) 21. Aaron Judge 22. Kevin Gausman 23. Cedric Mullins (gonna be better in every area but sacrifices a bit of power) 24. Shohei Ohtani (pitches less due to poor away game performance, cant hit the ball at a high rate) 25. Kyle Tucker 26.

Overall I think you've done a great job of putting together solid arguments, and I agree with you for the most part. But as a Blue Jays fan with plenty of admitted bias, how could you leave George Springer off the list? I would have included him over the likes of Nimmon, Rendon, and maybe a few more.
The fact that My 2014 Tigers didn't win it all killed me we had a Yankees Dodgers Sox type roster especially in 14 we had it all pitching hitting fielding. Our rotation was crazy. 1.Justin Verlander 2.David Price 3.Max Scherzer 4.Rick Porcello 5.Anibal Sanchez Hitting 1.Ian Kinsler 2.Torii Hunter 3.Miguel Cabrera DH Victor Martinez 5.JD Martinez 6.Nick Castellanos 7.Alex Avila 8.Andrew Romine 9.Austin Jackson Bullpen Jaba Chamberlain Joe Nathan Phil Coke Al Albuquerque Ian Krol Blaine Hardy
I would have had him around 20 personally. Putting guys like Altuve and Robert in front of him is just lunacy to me. Elite CF defense, extremely good bat, switch hitter, just entering his physical prime, good speed, great eye, and all that production (6 bWAR) on a bad team, like, the man is incredible. I'm honestly higher on him than guys like Machado and Arenado going into 2022.
That on base percentage needs work to nudge into the 50. Itching for him to makes the leap to .350 for better use of his speed tool. Do that and continue to slug .500 is where I hope he settles in at.
No he’s not “without a doubt”. Braves fans overrate the guy like crazy. Great defender but slightly above average hitter at best. Only thing impressive is his power numbers…but his OBP, OPS, etc not impressive whatsoever. Career OPS+ is like 108
Marc you def missed Ozzie Albies here, 2nd in the NL in xbh, 40 doubles and 30 homers, 106 rbis, plus 20 steals to boot, plays a great second base and was 13th in the MVP voting, and you're telling me he isn't top 50?
Pretty good list, but there is a list of guys who also deserve some recognition: Cody bellinger(Terrible year, but he will bounce back) Jose Abreu Salvador perez(he should be on here) Josh Hader Will Smith George Springer Austin Riley Cedric Mullins
I'm a white sox fan, and Byron Buxton simply is not a threat, he's been the "best player" on the twins for how long, and I rarely see him play, he's just always hurt. No way anyone is ever taking him top 25 with that much time missed
@@zacherygoldstein1810 Given the dearth of catching talent in MLB, a complete catcher like Realmuto is valuable beyond what shows up in a typical WAR calculation (and he does well there too). I don't hate putting him in the top 50 when he's been doing it for years and Mullins has just had the one breakout year. If Mullins does it again in 2022 you can bet he'll be on this list for 2023, and not way down near 50 either. Edit: Actually started the video. Mullins easily beats Nimmo & Bichette for me. Bichette is up at 5.9 bWAR, but that's inflated by positive DRS values when he was 6th percentile for OAA last year. Meanwhile Mullins was 96th percentile for OAA last year. Nimmo had a great 2021 when he played, but injuries are a huge issue for then. You gotta be more productive than Nimmo to make this list when you're always on the IL half of the year.
Probably top 40. His past years weren’t all that, but last year was his best since his mvp season. So I’d say top 40. But there’s no way he would be above max Muncy still. Muncy- the dude with 35+ hr seasons in all 3 full seasons he’s played
Really overlooking Springer here. Yes he was injured for a decent chunk but so were ketel marte, luis robert, and buxton and he has been far more consistent and elite for longer than all of them.
Exactly he had 20 homers and was out for half the year that’s insane and if the Jays got him to the play offs he would be even better because he is better in the Play offs
In the entire time we’ve seen Soto and Ohtani play, Soto has been better, however if Ohtani has another seen like this with solid pitching and great hitting he should definitely be number 2
@@jimmyb7479 I’ll take the 900 ops. If you’re building a franchise nobody is gonna pick a .734 ops over a 24 year old who just hit .303 with 30+ bombs and made all mlb first team
A generally fair list. I'm kind of surprised that neither Hendricks nor Hader made the list but relievers have potentially limited impact due to innings although I suppose it depends on situation usage
I think it’s a fair point to have Vlad 11th, yes he’s a first basemen with decent defense and one of the best bats in the MLB, but the defensive value matters a lot and making it just out of the top 10 as a first basemen is very impressive. I do think not including Springer on this list is absolutely hilarious and just clout chasing at this point.
i love the channel, but can i make a small request? when you show highlights could we see base hits and defensive highlights as well other than just home runs?
He really needs to stop switch hitting. 752 Ops as a lefty, 957 as a righty. Some switch hitters it's hard to tell what side they naturally hit from, Ozzie isn't like that. He does not look smooth or comfortable batting lefty.
These rankings are anti blue jays….. multiple positions now we’ve been ranked lower than deserved and now we r saying vlad isn’t a top 10 player and springer isn’t a top 50 player. These rankings are so inconsistent in general I’m not sure how ur deciding, if someone wants to lmk…..
Vlad had a ridiculous season last year, but he's a 1B/DH and has also only played at that level for one season. Yes he's young, but still, I don't hate leaving him at #11. Springer is going to be 32 next season and has caught the injury bug the past few years. His ceiling is definitely top 50, but I think it's fair to be skeptical he'll produce like that in 2022.

Well, he IS in the top twenty by my book.
Half the fun of lists like this is arguing about who is included or excluded, what the rankings are, etc.
But when a list is just plain silly --- Castellanos not in the top 50!!!! --- it's not even worth argument.
(I'm NOT a Reds fan, BTW.)
Please post WRC+ and WAR if you want to make an argument about which player is more valuable.

2. Harper
3. Vladdy
4. Tatis
5. Acuna
6. Soto
7. Ohtani
8. Judge
9. Betts
10. Machado
Easily. Case closed.
He really put guys like Judge ahead of Vladdy... I have no idea what he's watching...
There were definitely people that could have and probably should have made this list.
Cedric Mullins, Teoscar Hernandez, Nick Castellanos, Ozzie Albies, Salvador Perez, George Springer, Giancarlo Stanton, Mitch Haniger, Jose Abreu, Liam Hendricks, Josh Hader, maybe Austin Riley, and probably even Christian Yelich should be there or at least in an "Honorable Mentions column"
And definitely Javy Baez
He’s hit over .250 for 7 out of 9 seasons, and is the best defensive shortstop
I know it's only been a year but no Austin Riley? If he repeats his 2021 performance in 2022, I better see him inside the top 30 this time next year. Dude was a 6 WAR player at the age of 24.
Agree
Marc hates the Braves because he's jealous that they're much better than his Mets so he will avoid ranking our boy's correctly. Charlie Morton, Austin Riley and Max Fried should all be ranked in this list not just Freddie and Ronald. Also how are Josh Hader and Liam Hendricks not in this list over some of the guys that are always injured those dudes are stud relievers.
@@blairmcbride5437 Max Fried isn’t even a top 15 starting pitcher. He is very good but he isn’t a top 50 player.

@@tristankenzevich8078 I definitely disagree Max is one of the main reasons that my Braves are world series champions he was amazing after the all star break. Marc had him ranked 29th which was total bullshit.
Thanks for the rankings Marc! Only changes I would make are moving Vladdy and Harper above J Ram and Trea Turner. J Ram + Trea were so underrated for so long, but 7 and 8 feel a little high with Harper and Vladdy behind them. Absolutely nailed the top 5!
Harper above them both but vlady above j ram but not trea
Vlad had one great season.. I wouldn't put him above someone who consistently does it every year..
Same for ohtani though
Yes and let's not forget that Juan Soto had a stellar second half last season ... and it still wasn't better than Harper's second half. Carried the franchise that was hurting everywhere except wheeler and was a game or three away from ending the braves postseason before it got started.
Welp… this aged poorly
I'm was surprised to not see Salvador Perez after the season he had

@@DrewB2400 his only issue is his framing yet Marc still would put Buster Posey on this list before he ever puts Salvy
The main problem with this list is the inclusion of pitchers, Nimmo & Alvarez. Then you can include players like Springer & Mullins etc. Kudos for giving Jose Ramirez some well deserved love.
@@stevencurrall6944 Yeah but CF isn't a very deep position. That being said, dismissing Nimmo completely isn't fair.

Wheeler finished 2nd in the Cy young and was technically tied for 1st
You should do a ranking of each rotation and then compile the averages of placing to come up with the rankings for the teams so you can see how it lines up
That’s a really cool idea
I've done stuff like that before and it's kinda iffy. Ofc you'd have to rank 150 starting pitchers (5 for each of the 30 teams, maybe even some more), the lower you get down on the list it gets really tough to rank, and when averaging out the rankings, it values depth over the amount of star guys a team has.
But I would love to see a way it can be done
@@sw120 Oh for sure, it's not small feat, but it's still fun to go through all the teams, especially when you learn about guys you didn't really know of who actually have solid stats
How is Austin Riley not in the top 50??
I don’t know, it’s crazy
I’m not a Red Sox fan but I checked Rafael Devers career stats and they’re very impressive for a guy that’s still only 25.He’s on pace to surpass or match the career numbers that players like Machado and Ramirez have at ages 29/30.
Exactly!!!
So, basically Robbie Ray finishes 1st in Cy Young voting (and by a lot) and Gerrit Cole finishes second with only one first-place vote and yet he's 15th on this list and Ray's not even

I thought Ohtani would've been number one
Damn, it’s sad not to see Yelich on here. He really fell off
Giancarlo Stanton and Yordan Alvarez have very similar stats!
People in the comments either think Ohtani will not be able to pull off similar stats to what he did in 2021, or they don't know 2021 was a year of rehabilitation for him!
They used 2 different balls... he was a product of that... hitting and pitching wise.
Superman Shohei gotten even better in 2022 then 2021 and should've won back to back MVPs
I feel Stanton should be on here, even though he was ranked lower at DH he should be higher as a player since he’s starting to play outfield at a decent level again
Thanks Marc for putting out these videos. I can see how hard u work and I along with so many others appreciate it.

Who are "most"? The man was 20th in the *AL* MVP ranking in 2021, which was by far his best and longest season in the majors.

Overall I think you've done a great job of putting together solid arguments, and I agree with you for the most part.
But as a Blue Jays fan with plenty of admitted bias, how could you leave George Springer off the list? I would have included him over the likes of Nimmon, Rendon, and maybe a few more.
Admitted bias too, but he was ranked 22 last year and was the same player this year he’s been for the last 7 years.

Where is Logan Webb? Small sample size but he showed the stuff is filthy and shined in the playoffs under pressure.
Bryan Reynolds should be higher than 39, those stats he put up while getting pitched around every at bat is ridiculous
It's partially because he was getting pitched around that his on base was so good tho
I would have had him around 20 personally. Putting guys like Altuve and Robert in front of him is just lunacy to me. Elite CF defense, extremely good bat, switch hitter, just entering his physical prime, good speed, great eye, and all that production (6 bWAR) on a bad team, like, the man is incredible. I'm honestly higher on him than guys like Machado and Arenado going into 2022.
How is Ozzie Albies not on this? He’s a top 50 player without a doubt.
😂😂
That on base percentage needs work to nudge into the 50. Itching for him to makes the leap to .350 for better use of his speed tool. Do that and continue to slug .500 is where I hope he settles in at.
No he’s not “without a doubt”. Braves fans overrate the guy like crazy. Great defender but slightly above average hitter at best. Only thing impressive is his power numbers…but his OBP, OPS, etc not impressive whatsoever. Career OPS+ is like 108

I’m just curious Marc if you forgot about Cedric Mullins or if he just missed the cut. I know it was one season but it was a 30/30 season
He just missed it. Was 51!
@@GiraffeNeckMarc how does realmuto make top 50 but Mullins who was a top 3 center fielder last year
@@zacherygoldstein1810 Given the dearth of catching talent in MLB, a complete catcher like Realmuto is valuable beyond what shows up in a typical WAR calculation (and he does well there too). I don't hate putting him in the top 50 when he's been doing it for years and Mullins has just had the one breakout year. If Mullins does it again in 2022 you can bet he'll be on this list for 2023, and not way down near 50 either.
Edit: Actually started the video. Mullins easily beats Nimmo & Bichette for me. Bichette is up at 5.9 bWAR, but that's inflated by positive DRS values when he was 6th percentile for OAA last year. Meanwhile Mullins was 96th percentile for OAA last year. Nimmo had a great 2021 when he played, but injuries are a huge issue for then. You gotta be more productive than Nimmo to make this list when you're always on the IL half of the year.
Mullins had one good season
@@jenmuse1745 so did vlad
Just curious where do you think Buster Posey would slot into this list? I’d say he would’ve been at least top 35-30 but maybe I’m biased.
he’s retired
I mean he retired, so you can’t really rank him for next year. But yes, one of the best catchers ever
Probably top 40. His past years weren’t all that, but last year was his best since his mvp season. So I’d say top 40. But there’s no way he would be above max Muncy still. Muncy- the dude with 35+ hr seasons in all 3 full seasons he’s played
Darn devers is such a good fielder tho
So sad that Christian Yelich isn’t a top player anymore. His 2018 and 2019 seasons were insane
There were Blue Jays fans and Blue Jays sport analysts who insisted Blue Jays should have traded Bo Bichette + Kendrys in return for Yelich
What’s up Marc? Nice list! Could there be a case for Albies over Nimmo? Just curious???
Luis gonna be top 10 after this season imo. Can get 40+ hrs with a 300 avg and 100 ops while stealing bases and being a gold glover
Plus he hit well in the playoffs.
Really overlooking Springer here. Yes he was injured for a decent chunk but so were ketel marte, luis robert, and buxton and he has been far more consistent and elite for longer than all of them.
Exactly he had 20 homers and was out for half the year that’s insane and if the Jays got him to the play offs he would be even better because he is better in the Play offs
Also Rendon
Bregman was out for a good bit
Bieber was out for longer than Springer
Seager was gone for a month

Devers and Muncy may be a little higher on my list. Also, a guy who I’d put in here, probably at 50, is Mitch Haniger.
A generally fair list. I'm kind of surprised that neither Hendricks nor Hader made the list but relievers have potentially limited impact due to innings although I suppose it depends on situation usage
In my opinion Springer is still top 30. He like trout was injured most of the year as when he was healthy he was a beast.

Vlad had a ridiculous season last year, but he's a 1B/DH and has also only played at that level for one season. Yes he's young, but still, I don't hate leaving him at #11.
