And this is why Kodai Senga has been the best pitcher in the league this year.
You a freaking hilarious
コダック・センガは草
Nobody talks about him. He’s a ROOKIE!
Kodak Senga? What about Kodai Black?
i actually as a mariners fan can kinda agree with that when the mariners faced the mets he dominated against us he is very good and im glad someone brought him up
Bellinger could be a solid contender for best CF
Was just about to say this
The problem with Bellinger is that his expected numbers is much worse than his current numbers
@@ballerboy1323This was used an excuse earlier in the season and he’s just continuing doing what he’s done all season. Look at the actual stats lmfao.
@@ballerboy1323no it’s bcuz half of his starts this year have been at 1st base. Not solidified at the CF position
hes good but robert and julio r better
Very solid list, Marc! I always forget J-Ram is that good even in a down year. I’d only argue for Acuña and Riley at their respective positions but I would overall agree with this list. I’m just hoping Acuña can steal that MVP back but Mookie is on a tear.
Mookie ain’t taken nothin away from Acuna 😂😂
@@ThatSportsGuy6468 That’s what I say until I see the national media talk and ik who votes on it. Acuña deserves the mvp and we are the best team in baseball so it only makes sense.
Acuña is absolutely going to be the MVP, i really don’t understand how people say it’s mookie, stupid dodger fans. I’m not even a braves fan and this guy Acuña is the best player in the league
Look at the betting odds mookie took a lead before that Braves dodgers series but acuna has taken back over since then
If Mookie wins over Ronald the something isn’t right. Ronald has been playing MVP caliber all year, not just recently. Also he’s done things stats aren’t going to show. Go read Harold Reynolds’s write up. When Acuña is on first the next three get way more fastballs and their stat are way up. He makes pitchers rush their delivery and hang pitches or miss spots. Also, dude has stolen a ton of bases. Turns singles and walk into doubles and triples. Not to mention he’s the ONLY guy in the 30/60 category and is about to be a member of the elite 40/40, but in his case it’ll be 40/70. If Mookie gets it we will have reached peak clown world in baseball.
The thing with RF is that it took Betts having an unsustainable August to even get his name in the race whereas Acuna has been doing this every month all year. (counting September so far), Betts has 3 months with a BA under .270 and 2 months with an OPS in the .780's. Acuna's Lowest BA for a month this year was .298 and has been well above .300 every other month with his lowest OPS being .918. Mookie's August was the best month either player has had, but Acuna has out played Betts the rest of the year and the voters WILL remember their recent "head to head" matchup where Acuna (and the Braves) cooked Betts (and the Dodgers)
The anti Acuna bias is wild, let alone the Albies bias.
Albies isn’t the best 2nd basemen this year but he’s def top 3
The anti Acuña bias is true tho
I can understand the albies . But for now now acuna is the best RF but you can 100% argue that mookie has a higher ops and leading war by 1.1 that’s a lot. But remember the mvp race is not over there is 1 month left of baseball. Braves and dodger fans you can’t say who’s the mvp yet there is still one month 👁️
The anti-Braves bias is wild! Don't let Murphy and Strider making the list fool you. If the Mets were having the season the Braves were, you can guarantee half the players on this list (if not MORE than half) would be Mets players.
@Facelest9 whose better than him? Plus, don't hold his injury against him.
@@Chickendees789 war is a flawed stat. And ops doesn't mean everything. Just like batting average doesn't. Better team record and better all around stats are in Acuna's favor
Love Jrod but it’s simply gotta be Luis Robert Jr with the monster year he’s having
Super close
You could say the same about Cody bellinger, he's hitting .320 with 23 hr .628 slug, .910 and he's got 132 in 414 abs hes and absolute stud in the field with a .99 fielding percentage. He's got a cannon and hes not afraid to use it
J.Rod has 20 more RBI and Bellinger is hitting .317
Ok Marc you can’t not forget to mention Justin Steele or Cody Bellinger. From a cubs fan
I was thinking the exact same thing THANK YOU. they are having monster years and deserve at least an honorable mention.
Agreed. Especially Steele. So underrated just because he's not a big strikeout guy
Yeah can't believe be just said strider is the best pitcher without mentioning Steele or even snell at the very least
arenado has really turned it around, i think he has a shot to still finish as the best third baseman. like the numbers he has with that GOD AWFUL start to the season. i mean he's up there at least.
and yes he glove has also gotten back to his normal platinum self
I don’t know why you do not put Luis Arraez on that list that is just unbelievable. Luis Arraez has had a big comeback from last year even though he was an all-star. I believe that he should be above Kim on this list.He will most likely win the MVP and Batting title
He has no shot at winning the MVP. He's not even in the top 4. And he had a great season last year. He won the batting title.
I see the Ha-Seong Kim pick was the “I want to be different” pick. I love Kim and he was a beacon of light in that disappointing padres but he just doesn’t compare. Ozzie, Arraez, Marte, Torres, and Semien all had significantly better seasons.
"not the best ERA" ... (15 secs later) .... "nobody touches him." Can somebody in NYC give Mark a firm but loving smack over the head? Such a lovable fool.
I think even in the limited time, Altuve will still be the best second baseman in the MLB by years end🤷🏻♂️
You know ball.
@@msscott22 I study the MLB a lot☺️
Hey mark! What are your thoughts on Brandon nimmo playing so well?
Nico Hoerner snubbed at 2nd
Acuna, 337, 40 Homer's, 60 bags, elite defense. Best player in baseball. Also MVP
Lol. Not even in the same stratosphere as Ohtani. Less homers and a much lower OPS than a guy who moonlights as a pitcher. Never mind the fact that his season ending WAR is going to be a full two points less than a guy who has missed an entire month of the season and who has a team full of little leaguers surrounding him.
Misses entire months every year. Last year he played nearly every game and was the best player in baseball. Othani is in Japan, Acuna is in the postseason
According to ESPN Fantasy, these are the top position ranks.
C - Adley Rutchman
1B - Double F
2B - Marcus Semien
3B - Alex Bregman
SS - Corey Seager
LF - Double C
CF - J Rod
RF - Ronald Acuna
SP - Spencer Strider (changes frequently tho)
RP - Felix Bautista (They do not have closing pitchers they merge relivers and closers)
They have Bobby Witt Jr at SS
Oh okay thats reasonable i guess@@Aflame-re2fn
Bregman def not. Don't know about Semien either and Rutchman isn't there quite yet. The rest looks about right.
I’m thinkin bellinger in center and acuña in RF. I mean it’s all subjective anyways though. I don’t watch mookie enough but I watch the braves and I know what kind of threat ronald poses so idk it’s a toss up
Shame on everyone for picking the Padres this preseason. When they gave the more important defensive position (SS) to Xander, putting the far superior defender at 2B, I knew they were in trouble. Why would you willingly make your own team worse? Kim is a defensive wizard, putting him at 2nd is a tragedy. It also might say something about Xander, and the locker room if he's unwilling to move -- it's not like he needs to play SS for a future contract. I was yelling into the void during the preseason how unacceptable it was, and that I'd have been livid if I was a Padres fan, but the void didn't listen.
Would love to see an updated one or this. I think the 2 dodgers stars flip to the Braves
As a Braves fan, Betts is having a phenomenal season, you can't deny it. But I feel like it would've been appropriate to have a separate portion of the video for utility players and have him obviously be that utility player, and have Acuna as the best right fielder so you could've gotten the chance to talk about both of them. I mean these are two UNREAL seasons we're seeing right now and to exclude one of them from the video doesn't even seem right (even though I understand that's the concept of the video LOL)
As a dodger fan
RF Acuña
Útil/OF Mookie
Both mvps
Mookie is having a great year, but Acuna is still having a better year.
cody bellinger.
The only stat that Ramirez is better than Riley is OPS+
Ramirez has +127 to Riley’s +120
Lmao how'd I know Ozzie wasn't gonna make this list? But while you can make an argument Kim has been the best second baseman there is absolutely no argument that J-Ram has had a better season than Austin Riley. Seriously, it's not even close. And don't give me the glove angle, Riley has been AWESOME on defense this year. More homers, more RBI, higher OPS, and just more hits overall. All that while playing gold glove D. Like i said, not close.
Marcus Simion and Cody Bellinger has left the chat
Havent seen a vid of urs in a long time the goatttttt
You know good and well Acuna has been better this season Mookie is not getting mvp to put Mookie over Acuna THIS year is a crime he ain’t even playing right field everyday either
Mets bias btw Jesse Chavez has been better then Cano this year
Ha Seong Kim over Arraez and Albies????? Also, this man absolutely hates Acuña. You are crazy!!!!
Center field is Luis Robert
No way
Right field is so tuff I’m ngl you could’ve put Kyle tucker tatis or betts
Ha-Seong Kim over Arraez is absolutley insane to me. I get that Kim has elite defense, but I'd much rather take a guy with pretty good defense and elite at getting on base, at least for 2B. The man is hitting 50 points lower than he was at the all-star break, and is still leading the league by a consideral amount.
I had 5 of these guys on my fantasy team
I think I rod is good bit look at the year beli get is having
“It looks like Mookie is gonna win an NL MVP this year” No. Give it up. Acuña IS mvp over Betts right now. Analytics do really help a good bit historically in the MVP race, and Betts has that slightly over Acuña, but, like it the case of last year (Judge over Shohei), what historically beats analytics AND stats is… making history. Acuña has that over everybody with the 30-60 and even more. On top of absolutely elite stats, playing for the best team in baseball, and outplaying Betts head to head both individually and his team last week.
Steele is the best pitcher is baseball
LMAOOO NO WAY U SAID STRIDER HAHAHAHAH
This channel is always the best place to come when you need a laugh.
ah cody bellenger
When mark recorded this seater had 25 hr but now he has 28 when he uploaded it so u won’t get confused
idc what anybody says acuna is the second best player in baseball this year behind ohtani
This comment section is ruthless, if you read these comments alone and didn’t look at stats you would think JRod was hitting below the Mendoza line. Ik he started slow but he’s having a pretty good year
Mooie bets have a great 2 monts acuña got a great year and hi is on pace to break another record mookie is good but acuña is on smoke
Mookie betts mvp? That aged well 😂
Acuna - .337 BA , 37 homeruns , 98 rbi and 200 hits oh and 66 stolen bases
Mookie - .311 BA , 39 homeruns , 103 RBi, and 166 hits , with 16 stolen bases
I’m just gonna let this video slide since it was 10 days ago
steele is the best pitcher.
thank you for the respect on HSK’s name.
Lou Bob should be on this list
not even mentioning belli is wild
Lmfao. Acuña is clearly the best RF in baseball, Marc just hates the Braves. Tell me what’s matters more Betts having a couple more hrs or Acuna have 50+ more stolen bases? Acuña is doing something that literally has never been done in the history of baseball. He’s the best player in the world, aside from Shohei.
How about mookie having 1.2 more WAR and 171 ops+ to acuna’s 161?
Can't agree on strider how you cannot touch him when he have 3.85 ERA. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU STRUCK PEOPLE OUT WHEN YOU GIVE HOMERS . The best starting pitcher is Blake Snell
Bregman has had a better season than jram this year
I got Luis Arrez over Kim on second but that is just me
Gerrit cole is by far the best pitcher in baseball. Don’t gotta always hate on the Yankees 🙄
He did say 2023
I don’t think he’s hating on the Yankees he’s just stating his opinion on who he thinks is the best starter in 2023
I’m honestly surprised he picked a Brave since he’s a Mets fan
Sonny gray 4 SP
Gerrit Cole is the best pitcher in baseball this year
“The Rangers got an absolute steal”
Funny Acuna on pace to hit 40 plus homer's, steal over 70 bases, top 5 im mlb in batting average and not the right fielder. He is the mvp, especially after dominating the dodgers 3 hr including a grand slam and stealing 60 stolen base.
Stats never been done before and not even the pick for the position wow
Mookie over acuna is crazy acuna could have a 40-80 year
Ronald Acuna is better than Mookie 30/60 season really!
Acuna is winning the mvp and it’s not close. SMH.
Ha-seong over Luis Arraez I don’t know man
“And that why Brandon nimmo will win the 2023 NL MVP”
Rare Marc W picking Strider
Willam Contreras been better than Sean Murphy and I’m pretty sure Wilmer Flores on the giants been better than Kim in every stat category
Bregman should at least have a HM for 3rd
the Ozzie hate is getting crazy
you should do most overrated player from each team 2023
If Ronald was on the Mets we wouldn’t be able to hear this video because Marc would be gargling his balls.
Riley at third is way underrated. But, you lost me when you said Mookie was going to win MVP over Acuña.
Duuuuude Thought you were gonna tell us it was Cal Raleigh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mookie Betts is one of the best players in baseball but ronald acuna is better that is why he won mvp
Altuve has been by far the best 2nd baseman
LUIS ROBERT NOT BEST CF IS A CRIME 8:05
Starting pitcher i would argue Kevin gausman.
JT is still the best catcher in baseball
Just wrong. Cole is better than strider this year
King Tuck should be one of the best players
Robert at CF and Steele for SP besides that great list
Def lives in Chicago
@@logan15boboblol
I find it interesting that people value strikeouts way more than not allowing runs and having a low era. I would take a pitcher with a 2.55 era and 150ks over a pitcher with a 3.50 era and 250ks any day
I wouldn’t especially not in the post season or if your defense sucks. Might seem like on the surface ERA is the end all be all but striking a guy out especially in the post season is invaluable.
I’d rather have the guy who doesn’t give up runs in the postseason
A couple of bad games raised his era
@@streamclips-p3s a couple? Buddy he's got a 3.80 era and a 117 era+. The guy you want in the playoffs is someone who consistently limits runs not someone who you have to be afraid about having a blow-up start.
Depends innings matter too fs
If Royce Lewis can stay healthy he’ll for sure be on this list
“This is why the 2023 New York Mets are the greatest baseball team of all time”
Mets bias by mark
This comment was funny for a week
Nahhhhhhhhhh I get that your joking but it’s like the Yankees
Is he wrong tho
@@Danielvogelbachstan yeah I’m a rangers fan but ima be honest it’s the Yankees
Easily Altuve especially if he played the entire year although i have to go with Semien over Kim. Although Kim is HUGELY underated i cant say hes been the best.
look at the stats, he has been better than semien. His 6.0 WAR, and 123 OPS+ vs Semiens 5.6 WAR and 114 OPS+
Agreed on Altuve, he clears them both. This is Altuve's peak.
@@darinstockhammer8440Kim has 5.7 WAR
@@darinstockhammer8440differences aside we can agree both of them are studs
I’m guessing this was made before the braves dodgers showdown because mookie did basically nothing in the series while Ronald mashed 3 absolutely nukes and became the first ever 30-60 man. Might even set the bar higher with a 40-70 season
Thank you! Ronald absolutely destroyed Mookie and his whole squad head to head. Ronald is almost single-handedly the reason we dominated that series.
Nothing in the series? Acuña had 17 AB’s with 6 hits for a 353 average, along with 6 RBI’s. Mookie had 15 AB’s with 5 hits for a 333 average, and 5 RBI’s. While Acuña’s numbers were better, Mookie didn’t “do nothing” and actually preformed well. Let’s not make stuff up, and give credit we’re credit is due. Honestly in the grand scheme of things, that series had no significant change on the outcome of the mvp race.
@@raptorkids4441I thought Mookie was far superior in that series also. That extra hit and 3 Homer's is extremely overrated. Mookie would be better than Acuna even if he couldn't hit.
@@shanedavis3418Absolutely no way!!! Acuna is so much better and although Mookie is on a tear, Acuna has shown he is the better player. At least for this season
@@goatedram1343you clearly don't know what sarcasm is.
No love for Snell or Steele
Bro there is no way that Kim is better than Albies… I understand your distain for him but he is now putting a better numbers in a better season than him. You need to put a little bit more respect on his name brother.
When mark uploads my day gets 10X better love the content keep it up
Cody Bellinger and Justin Steele are better, absolutely no bias (complete bias but I’m probably right)
My boy Pete Fairbanks deserves an honorable mention for Best Closer. I'm not gonna take anything away from Felix, but my boy has been dominant this season undeniably
He sold for us a couple games ago
@@brandontong759 just don't pitch him against Cleveland 😂😂😂
Do one for best rookies at each position
Mookie might have it if it wasn’t for Acuna making history with the 30/60. He could possibly even get to 40/70
If Arriez hit 400 would he be mvp? No. Its about who has the better season not who broke more records
@@furiouskaren8686 well to you’re point Mookie has had an amazing august. Over 1/3 of his seasons war in one month. Not a crazy season. A crazy month. Ronald’s given MVP caliber results all season
@@gangstawaffles6530mookie has been better than acuna for 3 straight months and he’s only had 1 weak month in april. ever since then he hasn’t had a month where his ops is below .950. it’s going to be very close but i think mookie’s defense gives him the edge. he’s been playing gold glove defense at 3 different positions where as acuna’s defense has been poor
@@AdrianGarcia-nr7ht well he definitely wasn’t better in June 😭. Also if he’s been better than Acuña all year but April, how come he’s just entered mvp conversation in august? (even though he’s considerably a bigger name than Acuña). Also OAA hates Ronnie. He doesn’t always get the best jump, but he’s fast and has a cannon. Visually, He’s a pretty solid defender
@@furiouskaren8686 I mean Acuna is a really different beast than Arraez. It’s really close between him and Mookie. I just think Acuna has the steals and the fact that he’s doing something nobody has ever done gives him the edge
You mention Ketel Marte.
Olson is having a better year than Freeman. Higher Slug. Higher OPS. 10th in the majors in OBP. 7 more HR and 25 more RBI than anyone in the league. I don't know why people are excited about 51 doubles and overlooking 51 HR. It's really weird.
Marcus Semien? Am I Missing Something?
Also I think Austin Riley Is Better Than J-Ram
Disagree with strider. He give up a LOT MORE runs than pitchers like Cole and Snell. Plus the only reason why he got wins is because he pitched for Braves because again if Cole and snell were to pitch for the A’s they would still pitch for like 15 wins where strider wouldn’t come close
Albies > Kim. You gotta give up on the Ozzie slander. You just look silly at this point. Ozzie’s numbers are better than Kim’s. You just don’t want to have to give it to Ozzie. Plain and simple.
Austin Riley’s hitting stats are all better than Ramirez across the board according to baseball reference and he’s just as good defensively I love Ramirez but he’s not better than Riley
0:32 Still dominated you in the playoffs Strider
I guess you left Altuve out because he hasn't had as many at bats? He's the best at 2nd.. sorry. Kim is a good pick.. but he's not better than Altuve.
This video didnt age well....left out Acuna, Riley, Olson, and Albies as best players at their position🤷🏾♂️
j rod over bellinger...?
Strider better than Cole? Lmao this is a joke. Give me Castillo over him too
