Baseball savant currently has bregman ranked as the fourth best defensive 3B and the 13th best offensive and he has the track record of doing it for years. His collective offensive and defensive numbers are better than everyone on the Allstar list except for bohm who is having a great year but has been somewhat worse than Bregman so far for his career. Although, one could argue that bohm has found it now and this will be him moving forward. It’s going to be funny when Bregman signs with the Mets or Yankees and everyone starts putting him in the elite category. He certainly is better than vientos and Chisholm has played 3B for a fourth of a year.
Machado is elite. I think an offseason of Jazz honing his craft in the field at third could put him in elite. Matt Chapman. Man. kinda always thought he was a tease but man the Giants look smart locking him up
Watching Machado play every day it is hard to believe the metrics don't like his defense because he is smooth AF. Dude was playing injured to start the year and has been bonkers in the second half. MVP second half.
His range has gotten lowkey horrible this season. He’s still elite at balls hit at him, but he doesn’t cover near as much of the field as a good defensive third baseman like JRam or Hayes.
I really think Eugenio Suarez should be in the all star tier. What he was able to accomplish to COMPLETELY turn his season around is unreal. He was minutes away from getting DFA'ed multiple times
@@zanemathyou gonna ignore the fact that for a solid 2 months he was as productive as Shohei Ohtani. Then add on the gold glove defence and then on the good vibes which helps life the team, the guy is amazing.
Can't see how anyone can say Manny Machado isn't better than elite, even returning from shoulder surgery his play both on offense and defense is without peer. I don't know how other clubs play their 3rd basemen, but Manny shoulders a lot more responsibility, playing well off the line and sometimes the only infielder that dude of the field whe the shift is as much as legally permitted. Manny continued to make unusual plays common and if there is any dropoff it's that Manny actually made a couple of errors this year. Manny has been consistent, reliable and will make the unusual play if it's called for. That's elite
Machado is definitely Elite. Who cares what these fan charts say. Padres are playing Baseball in October and Manny is at the front of that Squad going down Third Base as the Best to do it.
Hey Mark, hope the Padres fans who are going off on you doesn't sour you on our team! We need to be a bit more fair and actually watch the video, I thought you were very fair putting him in elite, and saying you'd wait for next year to see if he needed to move down! Always appreciate your fair takes on the Padres, especially after that contentious WC series in 2022. If we face you in the playoffs again this year, I know it'll be a battle! Have a good one, great video!
I like the jazz acquisition as a yankees fan, but i still there are holes to his game we've seen him do really well along with the bad streaks where hes just striking out a lot and not being productive offensively. I still like the pickup overall and i hope with more time he can be a bit more consistent and hes been great defensively too and adjusted almost seamlessly to third base.
The Alex Bregman disrespect. His defense is incredible. He makes third base look easy because he is so good. If he was a Yankee or Dodger, he would be getting more recognition.
@@sm_1146What does that have to do with this year? Are we supposed to put Trout in elite for CFs even though he didn’t even play a complete month of baseball? He does these rankings every year so it should be based on how they play each year
Marc buddy where would Burger rank? I get you love to hate on miami but cmon. And the jazz comments abt “get him in a winning environment” make no sense. he made the playoffs 2/4 years in miami.
he ranked jake burger in the 1st baseman video, pretty sure he was in the 'good' tier also, imo thats like calling the 2010s detroit lions a winning environment. i love the marlins but just because they snuck into a wild card a couple of times doesnt make them any less of a stinkhole
@@Arden2000 Ahh ok then Norby should’ve been ranked, and he’s been good. lol dw ik the marlins got very lucky twice. It’s just annoying how he always makes sure to state over and over how miami is like baseball hell while every team with similar record gets a pass
Royce Lewis will be J.Ram, Devers level next year. I saw him in Oakland this summer, he was nasty defensively, and his confidence at the plate was palpable.
The Orioles having 3 guys in good or above that were top prospects over the last 2 years is insane. They know how to develop and draft. Joey Ortiz, Connor Norby, and Jordan Westburg!!!!

Being that excited about devers, but being pessimistic on machado has gotta be bait. They're both top tier, but Machado is top 1 or 2. Look at his numbers since the halfway point or so. He was still recovering. Now he's going gangbusters. also, caminero is at least good--just look at his bat speeds. he's clearly different. Nobody has that kind of swing and doesn't succeed.
I think that 3rd basemen and 1st basemen have declined in defensive knowledge and ability. We need brooks Robinson and Adrian beltre to teach how to judge balls of the bat and how to handle short hood and long hops. It's a hard position to field and guys are not getting passed down the finer points over the years. Everything is so standardized and a set drill the fielding coach determines that everyone does, it takes some historical reference and knowledge, understanding transfers from fielding to throwing which has almost extinct, and feel/soft hands
wRC+ over-values walks. Muncy walks a ton. He is a 3 true outcomes guy. Loads of walks, even more strikeouts. Low average. Provides nothing running. All while playing an average at best 3B defensively. My issue with Muncy is that he is out of position. He should not be playing 3B at all. Oh well.
I agree about Alex Bregmen, but Nolan arenado is just a very average hitter now and Josh Jung is a below average hitter and mid fielder. Both of them are not close to the guys u listed above
even with bias having jazz over bregman is mental. look at their stat comps this season. hitting stats are nearly identical (if not bregman is slightly better) and bregman is a way better fielder. jazz is too high

Okay lets stop overrating Jazz it's happening again he's not as crazy as people think his ops since joining the Yankees is only .833. Not Elite
@@Chance_2018Jazz is overrated because he plays for the Yankees but he’s not elite. I’d say good at best.
@@Chance_2018 fr also he was not the best deadline pickup its obviously jack flaherty victor robles or luis arraez

Vientos got 27 HRs dude can hit

Obviously a Mets fan. Drop Vientos a tier and I would think about dropping Chapman a tier as well.

he was a replacement but he should’ve been there in the first place
I really think Eugenio Suarez should be in the all star tier. What he was able to accomplish to COMPLETELY turn his season around is unreal. He was minutes away from getting DFA'ed multiple times

I was looking at Alex Bregman's stats guy is quietly putting up a hall of fame career
IF he gets extended or maybe technically signed by the Astros. He will be a top 10-15 Astro all time
Cheating scandal ruined those chances. Him and Altuve.
@@geezushasrisenAltuve is making the hall of fame. The cheating scandal isn’t going to affect Altuve as it has been shown he didn’t use it.

Says mannys defence is in decline
Then manny turns a triple play the next day, i watch manny everyday dude is good as ever. Incredible this year
W Rankings from Marc, earned my respect with the Matt Chapman ranking
And this video was made before "Dad Speed" Matt Chapman got an inside the park homerun haha
Westburg was an All Star this year
Jordan Westburg WAS an all star this year lol
Jordan Westburg WAS an All-Star (replacement) this year...
alec bohm has been better than riley this year 💀
You kinda have to factor in past years though. Riley has been consistent for four years
Bohm also has had more playing time
Better at what, striking out? 😂
Also Riley has been out with injury so that’s an unfair comparison in itself.

Marc says he hasn't seen enough of caminero, so put him in mid. Then proceeds to put jose Tena and Connor nor by in good
Ryan McMahon would be elite if it was defense only. Unfortunately his hitting brings him down a bit.

@@maz6431Norby Was Ranked Here
As a Yankees fan, I miss Gio Urshella, he had all star potential especially the years he played with the Yankees. One of the most underrated 3b.
Royce Lewis will be J.Ram, Devers level next year. I saw him in Oakland this summer, he was nasty defensively, and his confidence at the plate was palpable.

Putting Royce in anything above good given how little hes actually played is crazy.
Royce Lewis has played 149 games with 33 HRs 104 RBI and .841 OPS
Geno Suarez has the best batting numbers in the second half lol
This video must have been recorded a week ago because manny machado is fucking elite
Yikes
Joey Ortiz is definitely replacing Adames at short next year since the Brewers simply won’t be able to pay Adames
Bergman is slept on but hey it’s ur opinion great vids keep it up
Bro really said Machado’s defense has been going down “as it has”
Bro really said “Bro really said Machado’s defense has been going down “as it has””
You also just grossly misquoted him. Check your hearing, babe
Machado is not the best fielder. He also has had a major falloff. He’s Allstar or below
putting alec bohm above bergman is crazy
babe wake up marc posted
Love the Jazz respect 🔥
Dirty filthy Phillies. I kinda like that ngl

That’s bcz Devers is 27 and Machado is 32
Machado is old, he will keep regressing, I like him a lot. But I feel he just is not as consistent as raefy has shown to be.
Rendon should have his tier 😂
Just an idea! Maybe rank your elite players. Like I assume Jose is your #1 3b
I jokingly said Vientos would end up in all star because he’s a Met but he really made it. Also what more does Bohm need to do to be elite
As a whitesox fan Moncada should be in a tier below everyone else
Bro I know the Nats don’t have a third baseman but could you at least rank Vargas
Moncada actually has good numbers. Yes he's been hurt but he's a solid third baseman
the max muncy appreciation surprised me, and i’m not upset 🤤🤤
Jazz has been elite as a Yankee
You gotta look at his past to, he’s not going to keep up a 900 OPS on the Yankees
“And that’s why Mark Vientos is the best 3rd Baseman in Major League Baseball
Rojas of the Mariners should be considered for gold.glove at 3rd, 5 DRS.
I was about to post an angry comment because the thumbnail showed Bohm on the mid tier, but I see you put him on all star. Sneaky.
Westburg was (and is still) an all star my man. Orioles basically kept Westburg over Ortiz and Norby.
Man, i missed this vids :)
the tigers third basemen is matt vierling
Antony Rendon💀
do not sleep on maikel garcia… hes gonna be him next year
And that’s why mark vientos is the best third baseman in MLB
I would swap Suarez and Muncy. They’re basically the same hitters but Suarez plays above average defense while Muncy doesn’t
I think that 3rd basemen and 1st basemen have declined in defensive knowledge and ability. We need brooks Robinson and Adrian beltre to teach how to judge balls of the bat and how to handle short hood and long hops. It's a hard position to field and guys are not getting passed down the finer points over the years. Everything is so standardized and a set drill the fielding coach determines that everyone does, it takes some historical reference and knowledge, understanding transfers from fielding to throwing which has almost extinct, and feel/soft hands
how is muncy not in elite lmao, he has a 140 wRC+
He’s average defensively though, not great. He is consistently a powerful hitter I’ll give him that.

You should go back and re grade the deadline grades for teams
“And that’s why Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor are the best third basemen in the league.”
The disrespect to Barger is crazy
baseball youtube channel tier list
Westburg was an all star wdym?
Yes but if the Sox trade Casas we may see Devers do the ol 3rd to 1st switch.
They better not trade Casas
@ I agree but it’s feasible I mean based off his body of work so far, it’d have to be a superstar quality return.
i love being an angels fan!
(help me)
Jace Jung should be the same tier as Barger.
eye test easily says Machado is elite elite still he was really struggling with that elbow
Vientos is elite
Heavy Mets bias
Hayes unfortunately has some serious back issues that he’s gonna have to work through
I've been looking into Phillies podcasts lately
They REALLY don't like Bohm
They'd much much rather have Viento
As a Cards fan, I'm sad to see how far Arenado declined this year
Make a video about how good the Tigers are doing because I was right and you were wrong
He said they were gonna be good
Hi also nice tier list
Lol
At least Paredes is a better fielder than Morel so I am glad the Cubs got Paredes, but I will always miss Morel

Matt Chapman in elite 😭😭
Jazz is a huge K guy.

I assumed Ernie Clement played most 3rd base for the jays
He does. Jimenez plays shortstop for bichette and barger plays outfield mostly. Idk why he didn’t just look up who played the most games
With Bo hurt they’ve had Clement play 3rd, short and 2nd equally… they don’t have a set 3rd baseman right now
@@penguinfan774 fair so I guess he will be in the utility man video if Marc makes one
