Wade Rittenberry we’re beyond happy with the Trade now. I absolutely loved Aybar but my goodness Simba is a freak. Hope Newcomb works out well for you guys. He’s a special talent on the mound ascwell
Thank you for noting that. I might have bailed a some point. That play is truly special. I don't usually think of the word genius in baseball, which is much more about skill than creativity, but that play was dominant. Imaginative, brilliant, executed to perfection. Wow.
Angel's Fan here I know how lucky we are to have Andrelton " SIMBA " Simmons playing for the Halos. He's just so good and always makes his plays look so easy.
No I'm not yes I'm Carolita Ornelas on a diffrent channel and I have been an Angels fan since 1979 when Don Baylor became their first MVP. So don't talk smack because your Wrong !
Ok that play where he tags Segura: how did he lift his right leg JUST IN TIME while Segura tried to slide past him so neither got hurt. That was perfect timing and he still tagged him...

Really?? It isn't even close. Simmons is the best defensive shortstop ever. He's better than an over-rated Ozzie Smith was. Simmons saves runs that never show up in the boxscores. I've seen him get outs during plays that no one else ever thought of getting. Simmons often turns balls that would be doubles with any other player into singles.
Among shortstops, Joe Tinker, Rabbit Maranville, Luis Aparicio, Mark Belanger, Ozzie Smith. Basically, about once a generation. All but Belanger are in the Hall of Fame and were recognized mostly for their fielding.
Brooks Robinson, Ivan Rodriguez, and Andruw Jones belong in the conversation somewhere but they played different positions. Apples to oranges comparisons.
Braves fan here. Miss this. A lot. Once-in-a-generation talent. That's no cannon - it's a freaking laser.

Dude made me a fan of the sport! Effortless, humble & damn exciting to watch!
That second last play against the Astros was one of the most head up plays ever
Ian Gonzalez I have saw that whole game on tv!

That wasn't just a "great play" - that was as close to as art you can get on the defensive side of things
I could watch defensive highlights all day

Carolita Ornelas I'm an angels fan but you're a bandwagon
Anthony Vlogz Do you know what that word even means?
As a braves fan I'm devastated we gave him up for Dansby
Will Patton dansby started great and had a rough second year. He's been doing well so far this year.
No I'm not yes I'm Carolita Ornelas on a diffrent channel and I have been an Angels fan since 1979 when Don Baylor became their first MVP. So don't talk smack because your Wrong !
He's already the greatest fielding SS ever. Not even close. Thank you Atlanta!
That guy is unbelievable I'm proud of him
I laugh when people try and compare him defensively to ANYONE...He's in a league of his own
He and Adruw Jones are in the a league of their own.
always makes a great throw on a hard play. amazing!!!!
A middle infield with Brandon Phillips and Anderlton Simmons would be one of the best defensive combos of all time
Ok that play where he tags Segura: how did he lift his right leg JUST IN TIME while Segura tried to slide past him so neither got hurt. That was perfect timing and he still tagged him...
5:56 What a smart
2:38 incredible
Best defensive ss in baseball bar none
All young short stops need to watch this guy if they want to be good!
Joshua Han he’s pretty young himself too which is good
This doesn't have anything with wanting to be good. He's arguably the best defensive SS ever. It's natural talent...
They should not learn from him. He is too unreal to learn from.
The best pure shortstop possibly ever
Incredible! ⚾
thanks for posting
Congrats for Simba as he wins his 3rd gold glove!
2:56 “Great turn by Andrelton Cinnamons”
Another Gold Glove, 2017!!
2:28 whadda playyy
Melvin Valiente Water play
He better get the Gold Glove
0:21 Love how the 3rd baseman takes 1 Step and just realizes "ah simba's got it" Dude was a god at defense, you were not getting a ball past him.
1:25 "Here comes the relay throw from Andrelton Simmons... A GOOD one, and Alonso is GUNNED down!"
I’m a angels fan but I’m confused that why Atlanta will trade him because if I’m braves manager I would never ever trade simba.
Who's the best ShortStop defender of all time?
Andrelton Simmons or Ozzie Smith?
Nobody does it better in the league. Anyone who thinks Correa or Lindor is better knows nothing.
Swear to god when the ball was in play he spent more time airborne then actually on the ground
best shortstop in the game.guess what hes from my island Curacao
elmarich isenia no way Crawford is better
+bendsomemetal Ford andruw jones 10 time gold glove straight years
simmons simba
didi gregoriuos
jurickson profar
jonathan schoop
all are from curacao ours players are know for the defense
yep I would rate didi, lindor, and Crawford as the top 3 best SS in the MLB
bendsomemetal Ford simba is easily the best defensive shortstop in the game.
josh knix nope, Simmons committed more errors and had a worse fielding percentage
not "career highlights" this is "2017 highlights" wtf
Look how he fooled corea woww
3:34 Look at that throw.
No need for the first baseman to stretch out, that's for sure.
his arm is a fucking cannon
5:57 ...
Worst mistake for the Atlanta Braves, Is when they traded off SS Simmons to the Angles, I think.?
lt's very good...!
dude looks like Roberto Alomar
Dude is way better than Alomar was.
J cothren BAHAHA, are you on drugs ?

Alomar played second base and they're nothing alike
Another guy on drugs, *second base*
야구할때 조 패닉 시몬스 키어마이어 필라 이튼 만 있으면 실책걱정 없을듯
사람이 아니네...
Simmons is thick af
Wouldn't baseball be wonderful with more small ball and balls put into play?
he is very watchable... i have no information about mlb but is there a man who defends well like this or better??? give me some names
You have to go deep into history for that one. Best defensive shortstop of his generation.
Ozzie Smith, probably. A shortstop like this comes along only once or twice in a lifetime.
Among shortstops, Joe Tinker, Rabbit Maranville, Luis Aparicio, Mark Belanger, Ozzie Smith. Basically, about once a generation. All but Belanger are in the Hall of Fame and were recognized mostly for their fielding.
Brooks Robinson, Ivan Rodriguez, and Andruw Jones belong in the conversation somewhere but they played different positions. Apples to oranges comparisons.
You should look for Javi Baez, i think Simmons is a bit better because of his arm streght but they both are unreal
But who are the 12 idiots who don´t like this?
Arrogant... overrated
lt's very good...!
