Damn bro I thought you were just trying to be edgy, I didn't hear that till I saw this comment. That sucks, Rickey was awesome. Nobody loved Rickey like Rickey loved Rickey, but we loved him too.
@@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.
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 😢 🙏 🕊️
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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)
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.
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
Ohtani could never be #1, he is a DH. You have to be a 5 tool player to be considered #1. Pitching is not part of the 5 tools. Judge is the best player in all of baseball. The idiot who put Witt ahead of Judge is brain dead.
@barrydiamond5193 Right, cause Judge is such a 5 tool player. Power? Sure. Glove? Not really. Arm? Meh. Speed? Hell no. Contact? Nothing special. Witt has all of these.
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.
Mark, can you do like a first base trade/signing reaction? Between Nails, Santana, Goldschmidt, and Walker, I think you could make a good video on it. Thank you.
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.
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.
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
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.
"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.
Where are ALL the Whack-Job Yankee fans in the comments? I have been a Yankee fan for 35+ years and ofc I wanted Soto to stay but when he didn't, it did not effect my life at all. I seen all these Yankee fans posting all these vids saying hateful things and just looking stupid. Soto will prob not put up the same numbers not hitting in front of Judge, but he is still an great hitter.
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
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
You can tell how ridiculous the top 10 players on this list is gonna be just because the 32nd and the 31st players on this list have a 107OPS+ and 115OPS+
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.
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'm going to throw out a fact soto led the Yankees along with Stanton, every time Stanton hit a home run, who was on base? exactly soto, and it was seen more in the cleveland series and the dodgers without soto with difficulty stanton since the judge was completely out of it, maybe they would have beaten cleveland, but in no way would they have beaten cleveland without soto contributing what he did They wouldn't have made it to the world series without him, that's a fact.😊
@@josevasquez1373 that’s just not true Stanton had the series of his life in the NLCS and Soto was just there to contribute. I am not saying Soto didn’t do anything, he definitely helped out a lot but Stanton did most of the work
This dude litterly ranks players off of the teams he dislikes. “Sending hate my way to the Phillies”. Like who tf says that on a video like this. I know I’m a Phillies fan but putting Nick Castellanos at #22 is crazy. He’s great at right field, 23 homers, 86 RBI’s. Sounds like a pretty good player to me. Not just bc I’m a Phillies fan, but in general. This guy has the absolute worst takes. Literally glazes the Mets in all his videos.
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
What a Mickey Moniak for the Angels because he is the one who took over Mike Trout while he was injured the entire season.
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

I just heard myself. Let's take a moment of silence for the greatest leadoff man in history
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
I can't believe Marc was the bay harbor Mets glazer
No way there’s Dexter in this comment section 💀
@@RajPatel-jz3nt It's spreading
And that’s why Juan Soto will lead the Mets to 15 years of mediocrity without getting a ring
Fr😂
Salty janks fan lmaooo
Yankee tears!
Someone’s upset
Coping still 😂 Soto chose the better team. It's ok, cupcake.
Bro could have been inducted into the ragebait hall of fame if he put Soto ahead of Judge
“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.

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
RIP Rickey Henderson
Agreed.
Mariner fan here, we all absolutely love Robles. Excited to see what he does the year
Day 8, and it’s a good one!!
Biggest Rise: Wilyer Abreu, 23 to 14 (9 spots)

Not even close. He doesn't bring in the revenue either. Soto is 51mil and Ohtani 70mil disregarding deferments.

I love your videos Marc!
Stanton carried just as much as Soto in the Playoffs. Can’t give him all the credit

LOVE THIS CHANNEL
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
Was intrigued to see where you ranked adell. He was a good friend of mine in high school and the man was an absolute freak. He’ll figure it out

Man as an Astros fan seeing Tucker's statline for 2024 even with all that time he missed absolutely makes me nauseous 🤢
Do a video on Ricky Henderson RIP
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.
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?
I hope these list have really shown that the Braves (if healthy) are a Top 3 Team in the League!

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?
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)
It is because he is projected to be there on opening day
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.
What about the post season stats?
@@Daniel-rc2bu never seen people say Jeter better Arod.

Tatis at 5 is disrespectful
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
Aaron judge is easy #1 player on the top 50 list, you’re smoking crack if you think otherwise
It's Ohtani and it isn't close.
1. I ain't smoking Crack.
2. Ohtani's number 1, Witt #2, then Judge
Ohtani could never be #1, he is a DH. You have to be a 5 tool player to be considered #1. Pitching is not part of the 5 tools. Judge is the best player in all of baseball. The idiot who put Witt ahead of Judge is brain dead.
@barrydiamond5193 Right, cause Judge is such a 5 tool player. Power? Sure. Glove? Not really. Arm? Meh. Speed? Hell no. Contact? Nothing special. Witt has all of these.
My glorious king, Aaron Judge at #1 🤩
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.
For next year, I’d rather have Tucker than Acuna. Pretty solid list though
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.
Next season we will all be saying Juan Soto would've won MVP if it wasn't for Ohtani, Mookie, Freddie, Acuna, Harper etc...
Mark my words, Griffin Conine is gonna go off to start next year.
Mark, can you do like a first base trade/signing reaction? Between Nails, Santana, Goldschmidt, and Walker, I think you could make a good video on it. Thank you.
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
Im just gonna assume acuna has been ranked at something like 17 cause thats on brand for Marc these days
Shohei 1a
Judge 1b

But if someone pitches and hits like Ohtani then you have to rank him just a smidge over Aaron Judge. From a Yanks fan.

What number is Cleveland
I will not accept the Dubón disrespect. Watch he’ll be a lot better when he gets consistent playing time
Tucker over Tatis is wild
Would you consider adding a Utility? It does have its own GG and Silver Slugger afterall
Larry Walker still could be the Rockies starting RF
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

Sotos defense is a fair criticism lmao why do you mock people bringing it up when you brought up tatis bad defense
Soto would still be better as a DH. Guy can hit but his glove is a liability.
Mets have the top 40 players in baseball
Why didn't you pick Michael Siani for center field and Alec Burleson for right field for the cardinals?
Wilyer Abreu had a higher WAR, Avg, on base and ops than Cowser. Just saying.
