Ichiro, "Tell the pitcher I'm going." LOL
In Spanish lol what a goat
Ichiro the legend
I Agree, and two records in Baseball that will probrably never be broken is 262 Hits in a season and 10 straight years with over 200 Hits.
@@trevorcarey3997 I still can't believe he didn't get the MVP in 2004. I think he was seventh in voting which is crazy
Griffey got me into baseball as a kid, Ichiro cemented my love for life.
Great comment!
Ichiro and pujols one of the best dual rookie cards to ever exist
ye but calling him the best athlete i dunno its almost disrespectful to him. Griffey was a prodigy and most likely had he done steroids like everyone else in that era would have been the best offensive baseball player ever. He was a better player than BONDS IMO. Bonds was amazing but couldn't come close to those power numbers without the roids while Griff had the power and the insane batting potential that bonds had. Bonds may have been a better defender but a healthy his whole career Griff is close IMO.
Love the love that the Mariners are getting, too bad we can never translate that to playoff success 😢
I’m a Mariners fan
To be fair, yall only made it to the playoffs once in the past like 20 something years
Jake Peavy gushing about Mike Cameron is one of the most bizarre things I’ve seen all month, and I love it.
Ditto!
For real!
For those who adore Ichiro 2:24 ❤
Buxton can do everything but play in more than 90 games…
Ichiro and Ohtani are Japanese national treasures.
Ichiro
Athleticism = injury. Out of all these legends, Ichiro stood the test of time probably because of one keyword "flexibility". Teams should look into that more.
Griffey played like 20 more career games than Ichiro, in 3 extra seasons. Definitely more injuries but he outlasted him in the end. I think strength/power = injuries.
Great point on flexibility.
@@ericcraig3875 ichiro joined the majors at age 27
griffey had a 8 year jump
@LordBurger yeah definitely, but Ichiro started professionally in Japan @ 18 while Griffey @ 17.
@@ericcraig3875 well thats minor leagues for griffey. Ichiro has had 19 mlb seasons (17 if you dont count the ones where he retired in the first couple weeks) if you dont count those two seasons. he has 2646 MLB games played. Griffey played 5 more real MLB seasons than him (22 years) and has 2671 games played which is only 25 more despite 5 less seasons essentially. griffey also had to retire at 40 and ichiro no doubt could have kept playing. but his last real season was at 43 (technically his last season was at 45). he can still throw 90mph off a mound at 48 tho as we saw recently. now if you count totals for minors and NPB, griffey has 2801 games and ichiro has 3604. its quite amazing!
american player:
STICKY STUFF, STEROIDS
japanese player:
CLEAN and NEVER USE PERFOMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS
Honestly, I gotta go with Ohtani. He’s got the contact, the speed, the power, and freaking PITCHING. If he has longevity on top of that, then there’s no doubt in my mind on him.
O-for-Tani has become his rep. Nice tools he has when they cut sharp. Bad show when he Ks too much.
People forget how incredible Tori Hunter was with his glove
I'm a Mariners fan and love Mike Cameron, but I was shocked he was on this list.
Bo Jackson and Griffey are great choices. Personally, I’d add Josh Hamilton in there as one of the best raw talents I’ve ever seen. Wasted nearly a decade of his career abusing his body and still became an MVP winning player. Crazy. He might’ve been Mike Trout before there was a Mike Trout.
I watch Baseball for almost 40 years, for me it's gotta be Bonds Griffey and Shohei Ohtani, with Barry and Ken the fielding and hitting and Shohei as the best player, even though he does'nt play a defensive position, to be an elite hitter and pitcher, Ohtani will go down as a top 2 or 3 all time in Baseball.
イチローのこと取り上げてくれるの嬉しい
I had the great privilege of playing pro baseball; for a few years and in my humble opinion the greatest defensive CF of all time is Andrew Jones.
It's kind of annoying when people say Bo Jackson was the best baseball player they've ever seen, when his stats really didn't back that up. His highest batting average in a season was .279, and he averaged a .250 lifetime average. Griffey played for 22 years, and had a lifetime .282 average. Bo Jackson should be nowhere near any discussions when it comes to the greatest baseball player of all time, because he doesn't even come close.
The title of this video is Best Athlete. Not best baseball player. Everyone knows he wasn't the best baseball player ever. Bo definitely should be high on the list of people in the discussion of best athletes most people have ever seen.
The ridiculous revisionist history of Bo Jackson continues... Bo Jackson was NOT a good baseball player. His defense was horrible in general (made a flashy play once in a while, so what), his BA was bad, his OBP was terrible, he struck out all the time- including leading the league in 1989 despite missing 27 games, and he wasn't even a good base stealer. Deion Sanders was better than Bo in baseball in every meaningful way except for HR power. Jackson never even posted 4 WAR in a season and only averaged 2 WAR (that's it!!!) per 162 games and ended his career with a total of 8 WAR- less than the value of 1 single prime Mike Trout season. The hip injury is irrelevant because Jackson was already almost 30 at that point. Bo Jackson would not have been a great baseball player if he had fully devoted himself to it. He was an ugly, fundamentally very flawed player.
You know Junior had a sweet swing when he made people forget about Will Clark.
Mariners well represented.,, almost makes me sad that they couldn’t win 😭
I would like to submit Rickey Henderson for consideration.
No one beats him in the speed and craftiness departments.
Seattle had a lot of great players named in this video.
I'd like to give Mike Trout and Andruw Jones a mention. Prime Trout made everything look so easy. And I never saw an outfield cover ground as easy as Andruw Jones.
Ken Griffey Jr excelled in the steroid era, and didn’t do steroids. He was out there with a bunch of science experiments and he fit right jn
I highly doubt that....as a big Griffey fan. You can see the juice effect after his big injury.
Haha and Albert pujols didn't either
Wrong, Griffey Jr was a steroid user. He played at the peak of the steroid era and there were the telltale physical changes with him, and his bratty, selfish, arrogant personality was also the perfect fit for steroids. A trainer for the Mariners has said that Dan Wilson was the only player on the Mariners who wasn't using.
Oops sorry, I thought this was a Bonds video. No reason to go on about him if it's not. Griffey was a phenom and the closest thing to Bonds probably.
Never forget “Ichiro threw something outta Star Wars down there!!!!!”
I have always been such a homer that it was and is incredibly difficult for me to get excited to see an opposing player. Bo and Griffey and Ichiro are very much on the short list and add Darryl Strawberry and Andrew McCutchen.
Ichiro speaks perfect Spanish. Can't say I'm surprised!
Quick-twitch muscles ?!? Wow. Point = THESE PEOPLE NEVER SAW SEVERAL PLAYERS PLAY BACK IN THE DAY. None of the players touted herein were switch hitters .... a FIVE TOOL player in any era has to be a complete player to be the best athletically ! Also of those mentioned in the latter day folk .... I still say Mike Trout is thee man. Unmentioned in this group by recent pro players is unforgivable ! GBjj
Deion Sanders is the greatest ever. He ranks over Jim Thorpe, Ashton Eaton, Daley Thompson, Bob Mathias, Bo Jackson,and Jim Brown.
Ricky Henderson comes to mind as an all around athlete .... as a baseball player he was a five tool player and had everything but, SWITCH HITTING as his many abilities ..... Mickey Mantle was that same player in the early to mid fifties .... and Switch Hitting as well. I believe Mick is thee optimal multi-talented Baseball player of all time. His stats and records (some today still unbroken) speak volumes in his favor. Griffey and others are really impressive and some others that used PEDs I refuse to honor with accolades ..... they dishonored themselves ! Your picks can make the top ten .... but, THEE TOP has to have several aspects and attributes / records to be above all others. GBjj
Bo Jackson. Enough said
The best overall ATHLETE? Come on man. That title is click bait and you know it. That's like saying Tiger Woods is the best athlete! lol
If you were born in the early 90's you know who our guy was. Lol
byron buxton so overhyped. hows chris young says hes good for 40 HRs or 40 SBs when hes been in the league for 10 years and has never even gotten to 30 in either stats ove rthe course of a season. his career BA is .239 folks.
Showing my age here, But Paul Blair of the Orioles was one of the best center fields ever.
Blessed with 5 hall of famers and the only team that never smelled a World Series!
Y’all know which team?
Hint: it’s the team I root for.
Young Eric Davis was the best athlete I've seen on a baseball field
These videos are great MLB. We need more fan interaction with the players
Griffey > Bonds
Mariners have had great players and zero World Series wins...
Shohei ohtani
It’s Griffey, Trout or Hamilton in the modern era
MIKE CAMERON is a shout... damn what a name and player.
Buxton would be god if he wasn’t made of glass 💔💔
Byron Buxton really…
Ohtani is a better athlete than
HAHAHA! No mention of Deion Sanders, likely the greatest athlete of all time. Ok. Deion Sanders is a better athlete than Bo Jackson. Deion Sanders could have gone pro in basketball as well and he even considered being a 3 sport professional athlete but the schedule wouldn't have allowed for it. Jackson was a terrible basketball player. 3 sport athlete (Deion Sanders) vs 2 sport athlete (Bo Jackson). In addition, Deion was a better baseball player than Jackson in every way except for HRs- despite the fact that Deion was primarily a football player while Jackson was primarily a baseball player- Jackson considered himself baseball-first, while Deion considered himself football-first. Unlike Jackson, Deion was only a part time baseball player, yet he was still better than Jackson in every way except for HR power. Deion also had the more impressive and better all around and more dynamic football career. With football, Deion was offense/defense/special teams, while Jackson was a single position player. Deion is a better athlete than Jackson, and it isn't even all that close when you think about Deion being a 3 sport athlete vs Jackson being a 2 sport athlete and Deion being so much better in general at both football and baseball than Bo Jackson. Not to mention the fact that Deion's body was built to actually stand the test of time of being a professional athlete, unlike Jackson. It really isn't even all that close.
That four homer Mike Cameron game is probably the single greatest game any baseball player has ever had. He nearly hit a fifth and he stole a homer from the opposing team. Absolutely insane game
Jake Peavy looks like he's apart of that motorcycle gang from Breaking Bad.
1998年までのバリー・ボンズは？
Rankers rank. They played well and gave us a good show. Players are as original as in one of one.
The sports science on Buxton is insane. He covers 20% more ground than any other outfielder in the game!
2:09
4:55
I still think Bo Jackson was the best athlete. Guy was a freak of nature
I’m surprised Vladimir Guerrero wasn’t mentioned.
Bo Jackson hands down the greatest athlete ever, Ken Griffen Jr to me os the greatest baseball player ever
Griffey Jr. #1 style points for days.
Ichiro because he never gets injured
he can't skate so no he is not the beat athlete ever.
It's never iffy if it's Griffy!
isnt carlos pena supposed to be in a boyband?
WHERES VOGELBACH!
M's running this list
Pujols
Alex Rodríguez
-Steroids
🌏🥎👍
Griffey Jr!
1st
外野でも魅せるねぇ
no ohtani???
The other thing is its a list of former MLB players and who they believe the best players are that they have ever seen.
Ohtani doesn't even play the field how can he be the best athlete?
@@Ohmagawdjroutfielders is not even close to pitching. You must be dumb from hate.
@@Ohmagawdjr exactly
Maybe not the best athlete but Ohtani is the best Baseball player of all time, right now he has a career average of .270 and a ERA of 2.90, and don't talk about Babe, I like him but I also like what Casey Stengal said in the 1960s interview, he said the players now are so much better bigger stronger faster (meaning Mays and Mantle and other's) then when he was playing in the 1920s & 30s. And no one knows Baseball better then Casey Stengal, Babe played against farmers and coal miners, and did'nt train 362 days and play against international worldwide talents like they do today.
Buxton????? Lol. Less than 600 games in 8 seasons. 1 gold glove, 106 hr, .243, and 79 SB. He is horrendous. What about Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Rickey Henderson, Lou Brock, Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds, Tim Raines, Bernie Williams, Alfonso Soriano, Andre Dawson, Steve Finley, Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Beltran, Reggie Sanders, Ozzie Smith, and Vladimir Guerrero.
Bo Jackson, Ken Griffey Jr., and Ichiro Suzuki definitely top choices.
It's best athlete, not best player
@Jozxyqk yes, and they go together. This is a list of the most athletic.
“Former baseball players”
* Shows Byron Buxton *
Read the title again.
@@billc7356 oh lol
The best athlete? One who can do the two components of baseball with only one person. End of discussion.
Still playing. After his retire this discussion ends.
ichiro my love❤
Seattle always locking up generational talent: Griffey, Ichiro, A-Rod, J-Rod... how?!?!?!
Ichiro was a poor man's Fumio Fujimura.....
Griffey was a notch below Bonds.. he whiffed too much... ie Bonds had season with more HRs than SOs. Griffey always whiffed 2-3X more than HR's.. and after age 30 Griffey never drove in 100 runs ever... iow the 2nd 1/2 of his career was borderline HOFer at best...
Bonds was 2x better than everyone.
