- Chris Carter tied for the National League lead for home runs in 2016. He was out of baseball within 2 years. Why? Was he really that bad? Well in this video I take a look at his season and try to figure out where it went all wrong, as well as having some fun looking deeper into his stat line.

Gran Turismo 3 Soundtrack - Race Menu
Jake Chudnow - Moon Men
Forza 3 OST - This Final Lap
The Carters - Nice

I never realized how much statcast loved him. It’s interesting that he ended up being terrible with the Yankees considering how well he hit the ball in 2016.
My theory is that his confidence was shredded after being released and there is a real pressure about playing for the Yankees so he was definitely pressing a little bit. Honestly I could’ve seen a team like the Dodgers or Rays pick him up to be a really effective platoon player.
My god I can’t believe how I completely forgot about Chris Carter
Don’t take the Lord’s name in vain please
Can't lie, mad at myself for not thinking to make this first. Nice work bud
Haha yeah I couldn’t help but think this video could’ve been called, “The Forgotten Home Run Champ”
But there’s a lot about his season I didn’t touch on. I’d love to see your take on it.
Thanks for sports storm sending me here. Thoroughly enjoyed👌
Great video! Interesting that Carter only has 2.6 career rWAR with 158 home runs. I actually have a pretty similar video probably coming this upcoming week. Hint: A 2017 player
I did experiment with trying to find the player with the least WAR/HR but it is crazy the amount of one dimensional power hitters (AKA Adam Dunns) were around during that time.
@@nomorefieldersAdam Dunn was a great hitter it’s just he is maybe on of the worst defensive players of all time
Wait so he played wide receiver for the Vikings AND won a home run title
You are for sure the most underated mlb youtuber, keep up the good content you are bound to get reconized.
Haha thank you so much! This is one of like 3 things I'm actually good at so that really means a lot for me to hear.
We should bring in the fences 10% closer. Lower the mound to completely flat and back it up to 70 feet, let the hitters use metal bats, and make the pitchers throw gold balls. That way K’s and HR’s are really the only two possibilities.
Great video bro! I love baseball ⚾️ and the work you put in this video definitely deserves no less than a like 👍🏾
Saw Chris Carter hit like a 450 ft bomb for the Stockton Ports back in the day
Really nice analysis and well placed humor. Great job.
Nice video, keep it up!!
5 videos in and you’re already one of my favorite MLB channels. Can’t wait to see the growth here!
Thank you so much for that. As much as I try to employ self motivation but comments like these really help get the motivation a flowin’
this is great stuff man
I watch his highlights all the time in terms of his home runs, he has some of the most entertaining MOONSHOTS you'll ever see! I would not be surprised if he could hit over 500 feet. I was also amazed he was NOT in the HR Derby! He would've been so darn entertaining!
Watch his home runs vs San Diego, and when he was an Astro himself, he hit's a GUNSHOT against the Mariners that leaves me in awe to this day. This dude was scary, how this dude didn't get picked up or re-signed for like 1 more year with the Brewers was always beyond me, because Thames honestly wasn't much better, and, at least imo, I thought Thames was WORSE defensive wise! We had to replace him in his 2nd year with Jesus Aguilar and Aguilar was really good for only 1 year too! Brewers are cursed with 1st basemen right now!
I miss the dude honestly, his swing is so violent yet pretty!
Have you looked at his career stats? He's like prime Joey Gallo, but with a lower avg/obp/slg, more strikeouts, and no defensive abilities.
I really liked Chris Carter in his one year with the Brewers. He helped them be a better than expected team in 2016. Brewers were thought of as arguably the worst team in baseball going into that year but they instead went 73-89, led the league in one-run losses, and gave the eventual champion Cubs serious fits throughout the season. Carter was a big part of that.
Wonderful job!
Thank you!
I coached him as a kid when he was on my little brother's travelling ball team. He was 2 years younger than anyone on his team, and was still one of the best hitters on the squad. That team was stacked and he was the only player that went pro.
I don't care what anyone says, I am very proud of Chris.
Exactly what I was looking for!
Appreciate the support!
His homeruns looked so effortless - crazy power
Great video man.
Thanks!
I love the graphics and the memes. Very good
Thank you!
You need to do a video on Dave Kingman's 1982 season for the Mets.. Led the national league in home runs.. hit .204 for the season.. fWAR -0.5.. 37 Home Runs, 9 doubles, 1 triple. 47 extra base hits for the season. IMHO the worst season by a player to lead his league in home runs.
He's also the only player to play for, and hit home runs for, a team in every division at the time in one season. In 1977, he played for the Mets (NL East) Padres (NL West) Angels (AL West) and Yankees (AL East). There were no central divisions at the time.
He was the first guy to hit 400 home runs and get dropped from the Hall of Fame ballot in his first year of eligibility. He got 3 votes.
Notes about the video:
• The Tatis comment was a joke so chiiiiiillll
• apparently I can’t count, but yes, apparently 2016 was only 1 year after 2015, so statcast would’ve been 1 year old in 2016, not 2.
2 seasons old, 1 year old
He exists in all of our hearts
Top tier editing 😳
Do you really mean it? 🥺
@@nomorefielders i liked it at least 😂
That’s quite an interesting quote by arod
He has a few of those
A's Legend Chris Carter
Mark Trumbo led the AL in HR un 2016 and was out of baseball in like 2 seasons after that.
I remember him with the crew love it lol.
I got one of his bats
@@opitz_2635 nice !!
Reminds me of Miguel Sano, if Sano was the same player, but a little bit better as a hitter.
Another Yankee great from the last few years of Yankees greatness.
I don’t know if you will see this but you are a small channel that is writing scripts 4K words long (kinda close to how long my next vid script is) also with good editing trust me people appreciate you and these videos and if you keep up then you will get noticed
Thank you!
Being a bad definitive first baseman is pretty difficult lol
Playing first base is like playing bass. Easy to learn, hard to master.
Wish you covered his 2014 season
2:25 Legit shocked Adam Dunn isn't on the list
Never led the league in home runs
How many of his HRs would of been HRs in every park? Maybe he had some squeakers in those NL Central parks
Bizzare
Chris Carter got Moneyball'd out of the league. Funny bc in the movie, Carter's exactly the type of guy that the Yankees would drop millions on. Funnier still because he signed with the Yankees anyway
subbed because of the vsauce music
As my mom used to say, “find any excuse to put the Vsauce music in your stupid little baseball videos”
I haven’t heard that menu song in years…..
Gran Turismo 3?
Was that a Tosh.O reference at the end?
Honestly I threw in so many stupid references I wouldn’t be surprised if I subliminally did
Home Run Championship? I always thought it was called the home run title (akin to batting title...no one calls it the batting championship)....championship makes me think of the hr derby lol
2-3 war for 121-157 ops +
This name makes us Yankees fans shudder
And what happen to Khris Davis?
Can we make request?
Always ears for suggestions
mhm yes alex rodriguez very comfortable at number four (that didn't age well)
Yep silly me
I’ll be honest I think there were a lot of empty calories in this video…
Say it ain’t so
@@nomorefielders I'm sorry baby :(
It's hard to understand how baseball fans completely ignore cheating in their game. I guess there are wrestling fans.
I can’t understand baseball anymore. There are way too many acronyms for stats to keep track of now.
This video is why war is an awful stat
JOEY GALLO SUCKS 😭 Yet Rangers fan still want him back when he becomes a FA
Idk I think he’s alright.
@@nomorefielders .199/38 HRs/213K Yet, Chris Carter gets boOted.
Why only mention since 1947? If anything pre-monkey era should count as more difficult than post-monkey
all these weird highly mathematical acronyms and averages and numbers just to say "this dude sucked"
I love when channels like these break down WAR and show how absurd it actually is and how fake a stat it really is 😂
That’s so sick, Rick
Alex comfortably at 5th now 😤
