If Biaz played for the Mets u can bet your ass this guy woulda put him in the top 50! Don’t forget he still ranked Mets closer #1 which is an absolute joke considering he didn’t play A SINGLE INNING LAST YR!
@@debeshhalder7137 okay but regardless that’s not a few that’s a whole lot. It doesn’t matter to me what he said, I just thought it was funny because that’s not a few.
Hey Marc, just to tell you when you talked about Ketel Marte at #33 I think on the bottom you put Starling Marte’s 2023 statline instead of Ketel’s statline. 😅
As a Blue Jays fan, I can easily see why Vladdy isn’t on the list but how is Bichette not on the list. I know ur probably gonna say it’s because of his Defense but he improved drastically this year. He is just like what u said about Devers where whatever he doesn’t do defensively makes up for at the plate. This guy offensively was incredible. He like never strikes out he always puts the ball in play. I am in shock he isn’t on the list. Edit: I was not expecting to get this many likes. However, there is something else that I found strange that I want to address. Bichette was on this list in past years and for some reason he doesn’t get put on the list after his best season?
@@willzsportscardsvlad is better than most of these guys. He still gets pitched to like one of the most dangerous hitter in baseball. I think his weight management has caused problems for his hitting the past few years. When he adjusts he’ll be back to his 900+ ops seasons
Dodgers #1 Ohtani #3 Betts #7 Freeman #39 Smith When you add the upgraded pitching staff with Yamamoto, Glasnow & Buehler. I'm feeling pretty good about 2024.
I love Frankie Lindor. He’s so fun. A 6.0 war last season? Damn. I like that you included Adley, and Michael Harris too. Totally agree Shout out to you for admitting you were wrong about Ozzie Albies. Guy’s a killer
I love #50, Royce Lewis. Im 100% targeting him in fantasy. Overall I didnt have any huge gripes with the list. Of course some players I thought were too high or too low but thats normal. Great job bro. Also you put up the wrong stats for Ketel Marte. :)
Final Day! Top 50 Players in the MLB (I don’t agree with a lot) but here you go for the last time Biggest Rise: Luis Robert Jr: 48 to 20 (28 spots) Biggest Drop: Paul Goldschmidt 9 to 42 (33 spots) Lots of BIG differences and those are the biggest. Hope I helped you with this information over the last 2 weeks and I’ll see you next year! Merry Christmas!
Actually, likely the boggest drop off is guerrero jr. he said in a comment reply that the last spot was between Kim & Lewis. Then he also ranked Walker over Guerrero. Which means he is at best 53(which is a 33 drop) and id assume guys like Bichette/Swanson are above him
I honestly think Matt Olsen is a bit underrated in this vid but if he does something similar next season then I’m sure he will move up a good margin. On a different topic! JRod is quite a bit to high on this list. He’s great and I love him too it’s just he hasn’t shown the highs that a lot of people behind him on the list have. He hasn’t shown the same consistency Either only being in the league for 2 years now and having a down first half this last season. And that’s why Francisco Alvarez will be a top 50 player next year. ….. this isn’t a joke….. and I’m a braves fan.
Julio was arguably the best CF in baseball in 2023. 30 30 season with Gold Glove defense in CF is not as common as people seem to think it is. Judge will never be a true CF in my book. Lacks the range of a true CF
He said it when he was talking about Harper.. he really does think Harper/olsen will finish top 10.. it’s just the way he does the rankings., I’m pretty sure he values the “athletic” positions at a higher value than just hitting alone
Good rankings Marc. I think K-Tuck is the most underrated player in the league. Idk why Astros players don’t seem to get the recognition they deserve but I think this dude has all the makings of a future hall of famer. Only 26 years old too
Austin Riley deserves to be higher but as a Braves lifer I’m obligated to say that. Ohtani may or may not be better than Acuna. Entertaining as always brother. Keep it up. And that is why….lol.
@@tomglavinehof1 At this point I'm starting to believe that his lack of control somehow works in his favor and that he would be a worse pitcher if he changed his approach. Pitchers are obsessed with limiting walks for very valid reasons and he's a total anomaly as a starter and I think hitters don't know what to do with him
Personally, I think it's time to start dropping Trout in the rankings. Last full season was 18 or 19 (not counting 2020 though he played a "full season"). He's not getting younger and his inability to be on the field has to be taken into consideration. Would like to see him stay healthy, especially with a freed up DH spot, but it's just going to be harder and harder for him to put up top 10 numbers
Huh? He’s played with Mike Trout since he started his career. He’ll be incredible, to be sure, but he’s had Trout hitting ahead or behind him him since he joined the league 6 years ago.
Picking Othani for being a two way player when he is not going to be one in 2024. This guy can't deny being a Mets fan. Also he is coming back from an injury that very likely will affect his power numbers next year. Acuna will be the MVP again next year. Putting the home run leader at 14 makes these rankings an even bigger joke
@@Gutibra2388 what does Ohtani being number 1 have to do with being a Met’s fan? Most people are predicting that as a one way player next year he’ll he even better because he can focus on just the one thing. But I’m not sure what that had to do with proving he’s a Mets fan. He admits to being one. I imagine Olson is so low because it was just one season. The guys higher than him have proved it multiple times. If Olson does this again, he’ll move way up the list.
Love and appreciate this series as always mark. You do a big job in growing the game, and I have to tip my cap to you for that. Merry Christmas!!! PS: Julio WILL be top 5 next year.
Thank you for showing so much respect for the players on a team you hate, the Braves. I was starting to worry that you might have overlooked Austin Riley, but then you got to the top 15. 😁
@rthraitor I mean gausman was #2 in pitcher on his pitching list, but then was ranked 34th in this list. If it's for next season, it's crazy to rank people that had down years in 23 on this list, but not rank Bo or Vlad
JV's talent isn't top 50 quality anymore but his experience on the mound and the way he maximizes his experience I think puts him in the top 50 in baseball
@@cartoonclips3711he didn’t play too well with the Mets but he was decent with the Astros. Sure nothing compared to 2022 but it’s hard to beat 1.7 ERA. I think he had a pretty decent follow up season

No Bo Bichette is a joke dude is a top 5 SS in baseball but Merry Christmas and love ur content as always also how the heck is Vladdy not on here if Tatis is they have the same potential same stats and Vladdy didnt use PEDs
@@Toews1247 Seager, Lindor, Witt, and Henderson are all definitely better rn. So at best he’d be 5 but then there’s still Turner and Xander who are right there
My top 20 1. Shohei Ohtani 2. Ronald Acuña Jr. 3. Mookie Betts 4. Freddie Freeman 5. Corey Seager 6. Aaron Judge 7. Fernando Tatis Jr. 8. Jose Ramírez 9. Julio Rodriguez 10. Mike Trout 11. Bryce Harper 12. Gerrit Cole 13. Matt Olson 14. Yordan Alvarez 15. Trea Turner 16. Marcus Semien 17. Juan Soto 18. Manny Machado 19. Corbin Carroll 20. Jose Altuve
As an Astros fan, Justin Verlander, Yordon Alvarez, and Jose Altuve need to be in the top 50. If even 1 of these players aren’t than this list is wrong
We will see, normally I would agree but being able to concentrate on batting alone and not worry about pitching is a huge deal, he also won't be able to get pitched around with guys like betts and freeman insulating him in the line up. But ya it is unlikely he'll lead war as a DH but who knows.
Marc, this was a solid video but I do have an inquiry, my favorite player Randy Arozarena. He just arguably had the best year of fine fine career, but you did not inc,use him in this video, which I think is poppycock. I hope you fix this, or I’ll be sad for the next year. Thank you for your time.
@@meadalofhonor1234 Average doesn’t matter as much as you think. Average does matter but it doesn’t matter as much as OBP, SLG, and certainly OPS. Because Bo doesn’t walk there SLG and OPS are around the same which means there really isn’t an offensive gap. And Gunner is the better defender
@@GiraffeNeckMarccuriously, where were Bichette and Guerrero? I personally have Guerrero 45 and Bichette at 34. I think you undervalued bo’s defense, he was actually average at worst this year and seems to have been making constant improvement year over year
@@benjaminnie3162 exactly, Bichette was a league average at worst defender last year, with his offense, if a guy like Turner makes it, Bichette should make it
I'm Japanese. Your videos help me to improve listening to English. Thank you. By the way, you and I met at the City Field on this May when Senga won the game. I hope to meet you again.
Ranking Ohtani at #1 only works if you are ranking him as both a hitter AND a pitcher. As a DH he is not a Top 5 player. Acuna, Betts, Soto, Judge, Freeman are all better hitters than Ohtani. The only way he is #1 is if you factor in his pitching as well
Ha-Seong Kim is and will forever be one of the most underrated players in the game I know he's not gonna make top 10 or anything but come on dudes a beast
Give me Judge over Betts and maybe even Acuña. He put up those numbers in a terrible lineup; just imagine what he could’ve put up if he was in a loaded lineup like Acuña was. And I don’t care that he got injured it wasn’t his fault that Dodger Stadium has a bad fence.
@@jeremiah_12 give me judge all day. Judge is a better hitter and he’s a much better fielder than Acuña with almost the same arms. Also just imagine if judge was in a better lineup with some protection. He’d have insane numbers.
Ranking Trout over Soto is insane. Mike Trout has officially become the most overrated player in baseball. Hasn’t played a full season in a few years now and his OPS+ was lowest in his career last year…..defense has also gotten a lot worse…..he’s still top 50 level player but he’s not top 10 anymore
Baseball is variable. People have down years, even the most consistent players like Betts didn't have a great 2021. It'd be a pretty boring and reactionary list if it was just based on last season's performance. Sure, it's possible Mike Trout has really lost it, but it's not insane at all to give him the benefit of the doubt given his history.
Hey Mark, I'm a Cubbies fan, I was curious where you think, roughly, the next cubs player is outside of the 50. I know we are more of a solid lineup that doesn't have as many superstars, but I'm curious where you would put a Justin Steele, or Dansby Swanson, or even Nico Hoerner. Thanks! Love the content, keep it up
Great list all around. I think u coulda found a spot for arraez but idk who youd take out this list is great. But as a marlins fan watching him do what he does with the bat is special

@@elevatorelliot714 Bougaerts stank at the plate and Turner is way worse than Bichette defensivley 5
I think we are gonna see some shifts from #10-20 to top spots definitely! Good list though!
Man I’m hoping Nolan Arenado bounces back
I think him and Goldy will! Last year was sooo bad it can only get better!!! Let’s Go Cardinals!!!

Swap trout with tucker and this is good
“And this is why Francisco Lindor is not only the best shortstop in the league, he’s the best player in the league”
Oddly, he likely ranked Lindor too LOW, shockingly. (Put him at 25)
My Top 5 Ohtani Acuna Judge Trout Soto
The gap between Schwarber and Alvarez is crazy considering they were #3 and #2 on the DH list, and Schwarber isn’t even on this list
As an Astros fan, Justin Verlander, Yordon Alvarez, and Jose Altuve need to be in the top 50. If even 1 of these players aren’t than this list is wrong
Verlander being top 50 is very bold of you to suggest
Biggest rise: Corey Seager from 34 to 8 (26 spots)
Biggest drop: Paul Goldshmit from 9 to 42 (33 spots)
Love Ohtani, but no way Ohtani playing only DH is more valuable than Judge playing CF this year.
As a DH he's not better than Acuna or Betts.
What if bro hits 70 HRs this year tho
@@dillonmackay683judge more likely to hit 70
We will see, normally I would agree but being able to concentrate on batting alone and not worry about pitching is a huge deal, he also won't be able to get pitched around with guys like betts and freeman insulating him in the line up. But ya it is unlikely he'll lead war as a DH but who knows.
@@Brett733 I don’t think that will make a difference I would need concrete information that he could be more capable of hitting hr then judge
Marc, this was a solid video but I do have an inquiry, my favorite player Randy Arozarena. He just arguably had the best year of fine fine career, but you did not inc,use him in this video, which I think is poppycock. I hope you fix this, or I’ll be sad for the next year. Thank you for your time.
Did I miss Bo Bichette in your list or did you?
Who do you think he should replace?
@@elevatorelliot714he’s better then Gunnar
@@meadalofhonor1234 I disagree they had around the same OPS while Gunner was better defensively
@@elevatorelliot714Average matters Bo has basically been consistently getting the most hits for years other then I think this season
@@meadalofhonor1234 Average doesn’t matter as much as you think. Average does matter but it doesn’t matter as much as OBP, SLG, and certainly OPS. Because Bo doesn’t walk there SLG and OPS are around the same which means there really isn’t an offensive gap. And Gunner is the better defender
Yordan Alvarez is considered a DH, but he plays in the field majority of the time. His season would of been crazy if he wasn't injured early on.
I don’t get why Ohtani is 1 and Alvarez is 11 when he said yordan was at the 11 spot because he is a DH, but Shohei is too
Because Ohtani somehow just gets better year after year. Like wth, where is the ceiling.
Because Ohtani pitches
@@noahnussbaum8693 Ohtani won’t pitch next year and this ranking is based solely on Ohtani as a dh
@@noahnussbaum8693 he is injured so he will only dh 2024
@@Deerjason I do not care. Ohtani not being 1 would actually be ridiculous
Great video bro 🤝🏼
Surprising to not see Ha Seong Kim on the list, wonder how close he was to being in the top 50
It was literally between him and Royce
@@GiraffeNeckMarccuriously, where were Bichette and Guerrero? I personally have Guerrero 45 and Bichette at 34. I think you undervalued bo’s defense, he was actually average at worst this year and seems to have been making constant improvement year over year
He also decreased his errors from 23 in 2022 to 8 in 2023. If devers makes the list then bo should make the list
@@benjaminnie3162 exactly, Bichette was a league average at worst defender last year, with his offense, if a guy like Turner makes it, Bichette should make it
who?
I'm Japanese. Your videos help me to improve listening to English. Thank you. By the way, you and I met at the City Field on this May when Senga won the game. I hope to meet you again.
Matt Olson left the chat
really enjoyed the video. great job!
Harper at 16 WTFFF, maybe the best hitter in baseball
Harper should be higher, but he is NOT the best hitter in all of baseball...
You know you have a good bat and speed when a DH is # 1. Love this series every year! Merry Christmas to all.
Ranking Ohtani at #1 only works if you are ranking him as both a hitter AND a pitcher. As a DH he is not a Top 5 player. Acuna, Betts, Soto, Judge, Freeman are all better hitters than Ohtani. The only way he is #1 is if you factor in his pitching as well
Soto is better hitter than Shohei? lol
How?
And freeman and betts are debatable
Only hitter you can say better than shohei clearly is Judge
Merry Christmas Marc
Ha-Seong Kim is and will forever be one of the most underrated players in the game I know he's not gonna make top 10 or anything but come on dudes a beast
if he comes to the dodgers he will be get the respect he deserves
Imagine if Arenado had a down season that he wasn't a finalist for the Gold Glove for the first time in his career.
Ohtani, let's go another MVP
Harp outside top fifteen low key crazy crazy. But you even said that in the video so godbless
Give me Judge over Betts and maybe even Acuña. He put up those numbers in a terrible lineup; just imagine what he could’ve put up if he was in a loaded lineup like Acuña was. And I don’t care that he got injured it wasn’t his fault that Dodger Stadium has a bad fence.
Pathetic no brain guy... How was Ohtani at his line up. Not even worth discussing. Your are the worst kind of person who only cares about yourself.
Judge or Acuña? I mean, Judge is pure power but Acuña has the power, speed, SB threat (causes disruption), and his arm keeps base runners honest.
@@jeremiah_12 give me judge all day. Judge is a better hitter and he’s a much better fielder than Acuña with almost the same arms. Also just imagine if judge was in a better lineup with some protection. He’d have insane numbers.
awesome video mate thanks
Acuna is my #1.
Ain’t no way this dude had a .770 ops and made the top 20 players
Edit: MY GUY HAD A .782 OPS AND WAS TOP 15 THE PADRES GLAZING IS CRAZY
Platinum glove
@@CombatWombat322I for got mb but the point still stands w/ macahdo
Honestly, Lindor with the 30/30 and stellar defense.. I think he should have been higher.
Royce Lewis earned that spot
let’s go marc love watching these every year brother
Ranking Trout over Soto is insane. Mike Trout has officially become the most overrated player in baseball. Hasn’t played a full season in a few years now and his OPS+ was lowest in his career last year…..defense has also gotten a lot worse…..he’s still top 50 level player but he’s not top 10 anymore
mike trout revenge season inbound
Ranking Soto over Freeman is insane!
Baseball is variable. People have down years, even the most consistent players like Betts didn't have a great 2021. It'd be a pretty boring and reactionary list if it was just based on last season's performance. Sure, it's possible Mike Trout has really lost it, but it's not insane at all to give him the benefit of the doubt given his history.
@@troylachowski2476 And Mike Trout get injury again after 60 games 🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Mark, I'm a Cubbies fan, I was curious where you think, roughly, the next cubs player is outside of the 50. I know we are more of a solid lineup that doesn't have as many superstars, but I'm curious where you would put a Justin Steele, or Dansby Swanson, or even Nico Hoerner. Thanks! Love the content, keep it up
acuna at #2 is so wild wtf
because Ohtani is just hitting next year you could argue he's #1
@@noahmcdowell2852Acuña sucks defensively lmao
Its really not though
@@matthewkabel6246like that matters when you go 40/70
Ohtani is not pitchingand and basically is a glorified DH..... He is not better offensively than Acuna, Judge or Betts if not pitching.
Great list all around. I think u coulda found a spot for arraez but idk who youd take out this list is great. But as a marlins fan watching him do what he does with the bat is special
It would be interesting to see in the future Spencer Torkelson for the Detroit Tigers on this list if he gets better!
Judge can arguably be 1 without shohei pitching🤷♂️
Awww man Goldy hit that Homerun right off that dudes head 😂😂😂😂
