Anthony Santander play 97 games in right for the Orioles, by far the most at that position by anyone on the team. He 28 homers, drove in 95, and was solid in the field, but he gets no mention. Really? That was an inexcusable omission, Marc.
Well, NO, he can't do anything he wants, if he wants to be taken seriously in his analysis of the right fielders for every team. But Marc didn't intend to ignore Santander, who is no a scrub. What happened was he started the video with Aaron Hicks, who did play some outfield for the Orioles, but only a fraction of the games Santander did in right. I've been a fan of Marc's channel for quite some time, and rarely does he make oversights like this. I'm quite confident that he'll do due diligence.
We all know about his 40/70 season but the most amazing thing about him is that on top of being the games best base stealer he also hits the ball harder more regularly than any other player. He led the league in 95mph+ batted balls, but the gap was huge, nearly double the second best guy. In fact he had more such batted balls on his own than 20 other teams had total!
Also Adolis Garcia it’s Elite on my eyes. He has proveed and not only this year, he’s been doing it since he started, Aldo won gold glove this year he could be change for Corbin Carroll because has been 3 years on the top, Corbin Carroll it’s a rookie.
Tatis is still 100% elite. It’s just like Acuña in 2022, he came back from time off and wasn’t back to his full form offensively and people didn’t consider him elite anymore. Tatis is my pick to win mvp in 2024 for the same reason Acuna was my pick in 23, and that one aged well
he didn’t hit at an elite level though. he didn’t even hit and an all star level. he was slightly above average with the bat. a decent bat doesn’t make you an elite player, doesn’t matter how good your glove is.
he was more than slightly above average in hitting imo. all star hitting and elite defending, that's either top of all star or bottom of elite which was exactly the debate going on@@AdrianGarcia-nr7ht
walker got a ton better at defense towards the end too. he will be an all star right fielder next season. doesn't change the fact that every ball hit to him will go over his head and the wall with mikolas and lynn next season so guess it doesn't matter
Kerry Carpenter is really not THAT bad of a defender in right. Per the advanced stats he was only -1 OAA and -1 DRS. Probably will play a fair amount while Riley Greene recovers.
As a tigers fan yah he was a decent Defender especially at the end of last year I 100 percent agree with that and when Riley Comes back we may put in left to put Riley in Right because of how good of a defender Parker Meadows can be
@@russellmortensen188 Maybe Greene should go in LF. It seems like Carpenter played better in right. Though he may have just gotten better at corner outfield in general.
Now that Tatis got the platinum glove he's definitely an elite rf defensively best in the league and that bat only fell of due to fatigue from missing last season
he isn’t elite right now though. he can definitely be elite next year if he can bounce back but as of right now he isn’t. you can’t be elite if your offense was average. doesn’t matter how good your defense is.
@@AdrianGarcia-nr7ht I disagree to not play a whole season come back still hit better than league average and win platinum glove playing a completely new position
@@MrUnik88 that’s not what i’m saying. he can definitely be elite next year there’s no question about that. he has an insane amount of talent. but as of right now and from what we’ve seen from last year he wasn’t elite. yes, his defense was incredible but his bat wasn’t. you can’t be an elite player when your hitting was slightly above average
Who is the other guy he has ahead of Judge, besides those two & Ohtani? Guess we’ll find out on his Top 50 player rankings in a month. I bet it’s Trout lol
@@JBullock54idk, he had judge ahead of trout last year, and judge was still better than trout this year so it’d seem weird to switch that up. Could be Freeman maybe but that would be a little ridiculous to me imo
@@noodler5583 He had Trout at 2 last year & Judge at 3 i think. Only other positional player I could see is Seager, but Judge has been more consistent the past 2 years so probably not. Maybe it’s Cole. I expect Freeman at 6
how the hell are you gonna put Suzuki over Castellano‘s who is one of the best Henderson baseball he constantly hits almost 50 doubles in every year he hasn’t even hit 11 or 12 years in baseball and he already has over 300 doubles in his career, which is as insane You are doing him dirty.
I know it’s mostly just to separate tiers between levels of players, but 10 guys being at all star level or better? Even in a stacked position like RF (and including some players that have played multiple positions like mookie), there is no way more than like 5-6 of these guys would make an all star game. Just think the top tiers should be smaller (and the bottom ones a lot bigger)
Tatis is elite. I will put that out there for everyone else to decide but he is elite. Nick castelanos is all star and he is not at that same level of will benson or lane tohmas
@@BESGO59 Elias Diaz, Brent Rooker, and GERALDO FUCKING PERDOMO all made their respective all star teams this year castellanos is a league average hitter and a remarkably terrible defender
The only issue I have with this ranking is it’s separated by position but it seems it mostly dependent on offense and not defense. I get hitting is more important but when I see specific position I think we will get a video on the best fielders at each position. Other than that great video. Tatis did win platinum glove in his first year in RF.
I thought for sure Verdugo would win the Gold Glove for RF this year cause his defensive was awesome. But the steps back he took at the plate literally broke my heart lol
I'm sorry but a DH and best case part time starting pitcher cannot be considered the best player in baseball, he just can't. After all being a DH does mean there are many other guys on your own team that are better defensively and defense is part of the game. A DH has a whole 4 times a game on average to affect the game. But hell even if you forget that what numbers actual numbers separate him from Acuna because I don't see them?
What on earth are you talking about with Seth Brown? Teams want him for his bat? Gets on base? He's barely a league average hitter for his career with an OBP of .295. 0 fWAR this season. No way he should be in average, right? He hits for some power but otherwise contributes pretty much nothing.
Yes Acuna is better than Betts -but as far as 'team mate and leadership' and the other intangibles, Mookie seems like a special kind of team mate...like Jeter type of dugout impact
you can’t hit slightly above average and be considered elite. doesn’t matter how good your defense is. he had a down year but i do believe he will be back to his old elite form
Why you put haper as elite outfilder he plays DH and 1b most games i dont understand your standard 😢 dont dissapoint me tatis won platinum glove in his first season as of
The pirates sticking Davis in right is a travesty. I don't care he has a good arm he is not a right fielder and I doubt he will ever be good enough out there. I wished they would have had him try first instead.
If you look at the home and away splits for Teoscar, it's clear that he got screwed by T-Mobile Park. If he gets to a more hitter friendly park, he can be great
Yeah this was recorded a month ago and forgot to upload it, better late than never
Now that the postseason is fully complete, would you make any changes?
He definitely should especially with the fact that Garcia got the ALCS MVP
You forgot Anthony Santander

Acuna is the best player in the league.
Tatis is still elite, best defence in RF and was a good hitter
Adolis had better defense
@@adriansaucedo3229 both won gold glove only one won platinum glove in there first year in the position
@@Scoobysolon6 He recorded the video before that happened.
@@Anchovy_Pizza I wasn’t answering the dude that said adolis has better defense

He’s batting average too low
Watching this after the Alcs and the World Series Adolis Garcia deserves to be in elite
No he doesn’t, he got hot, but saying he’s on the same level as judge, Harper, and Tucker is absolutely insane

Sure if tatis starts juicing again lol
@@jonathanrecinos5894 Tatis was never on steroids when he was on the field. Not trying to defend his actions since then just stating the facts
Time off from a torn acl and time off for cheating are different. Maybe without the juice he isn’t elite.
@@ekwipes5786 He’s proven to be elite off the juice lol, but people love to hate on him so I get why u don’t think so

Can’t wait for your 12 days of mlb rankings bro
Casty should be in all star 29 bombs above average defense. I just don’t see why you think Moniak and carpenter are the same as Castellanos

I’ll give you a pass on Adolis since you recorded this prior to ALCS/WS… but he’s cemented himself in that elite category
Just so you know you said Castellanos played for Arizona. Nice vid though Lgm
For pitchers could you do team rotations and instead of team Aces?
You can move adolis garcia to elite now.
A a Jays fan who watched Springer a ton he was unreal defensively his bat wasn’t great but he did steal 20 bags also should be solid
Agreed if your putting Benson and others there he needs to be. Otherwise all in average is fine
@@willyb9572 1000%
nick needs to be in all star as a sox fan
Seiya Suzuki was our main right fielder. I'm not sure Nelson Velazquez played a single game
Thank you for the seth brown switch! Brownie is and can be a solid player
Nick Castellanos is better than Suzuki look at the numbers
Suzuki i really feel just needed to learn how to hit the fastball...im excited gor him moving forward.
Is it a hot take to say that Judge is the best RF?
Adolis is elite if caroll is elite. Tatis too beat defense in the league
So 19 right fielders are above average, 8 are average, and 4 are below average?
league average, yes. like Marc said it’s a loaded position, so it’s not surprising to see many above average RFs
Can you rank the best closing pitcher please?
Tatis on the same tier as Josh Lowe is… interesting for sure
How do u put Layne Thomas in solid bro
Springer in average is criminal my goodness he’s at least Solid coming from a Jays fan this season
Love the seiya respect!
Adolis is elite now. Postseason matters
I don’t agree Adolis is a excellent Right Fielder but he not there just yet the postseason help him but I still wouldn’t choice him over some players
"And that is why Starling Marte is the best right fielder in baseball."
Lol
Teoscar was decent defensively in 2023 so he does have a position with 1 drs 0 oaa
Nelson Velazquez can rake.
I love the recognition you gave Seiya
lets be honest here Judge > Acuna and Betts
How do you put josh Lowe in all star and not put adolis Garcia in elite
Judge > Betts > Acuna
Not talking about 2023 specifically , just who I would expect to be the best over the course of a full 162

What do you think of the new Baseball United League?
Tatis and García deserve elite
How do guys that made the all star game this year not make all star tier
Fernando Tatis Jr is him ngl
Judge is better than Acuna Jr and Betts. Period!
Alex Verdugo is so underrated
I’m wondering how hard the sophomore slump is going to hit Corbin carrell
How is George springer average. 🧐🥴
Why is Harper on this?
Castellanos disrespected, had a great year def all star! defense was good enough and the bat makes up for bad defense any day !!

let’s go marc is back
who ruined this guys day lmao 14:00
maybe side effects of being a met fan
Lol poor guy
No shit. He’s always a dick about anything Cleveland related.
Suzuki has to go in Solid for me. He has all-star potential, but the past 2 seasons he's started slow then picked it up after the all-star break.
What is his state from June to the season ends I truly don’t say the season starts until June in my opinion Suzuki is an all star

He's not a great fielder by any stretch. The ASG also always has a few oddities.
