No one ever said he couldn't field. The dude was a complete 5 tool player. And to think he moved from SS to 3B to accommodate Jeter (who was a considerably worse defender than A-Rod), he did extremely well
Out of all the Yankees I grew up watching in the 2000’s the guys I miss watching the most are Arod and Tex. Amazing players with a killer instinct, never knew how much I’d miss watching these guys now that they are retired
A-Rod was the best shortstop and was in the top 2 or 3 third basemen in baseball. I can only think of Eric Chavez and Adrian Beltre, may have been slightly better defensively, but neither had to transition from shortstop. And he definitely was a better hitter than both of them.
His throwing arm is so strong and accurate-- and it seems that his sidearm style helps with keeping the ball out of the dirt for he 1st baseman- like a sidearm rising fastball
He was a great defensive player, and base runner, not just a great hitter. Never saw him get thrown out when taking an extra base. Also, many of his stolen bases were when team needed a runner in scoring position, late in game.
"And people say Arod can't field" really? He was always a solid third baseman. ABOVE AVERAGE. Made real nice play from time to time. Almost always made the routine plays. Always had a great arm. Took playing short stop to a hole new level. No ones says Arod can't field!
I don’t care what anyone thinks Alex Rodriguez is the best 3rd baseman of all time and a top 3 player ever. Idc if he used steroids, not like he beat a woman or committed murder
Nah the best 3rd baseman of all time is and always will be Brooks Robinson 18× All-Star (1960-1974) 2× World Series champion (1966, 1970) AL MVP (1964) World Series MVP (1970) 16× Gold Glove Award (1960-1975) most by any fielder except a pitcher Greg Maddux had 18 Roberto Clemente Award (1972) AL RBI leader (1964) Baltimore Orioles No. 5 retired Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame Major League Baseball All-Century Team
ONLY STUPID HATERS SAY THAT AROD COULDN’T FIELD. WHOEVER KNOWS ABOUT BASEBALL KNOWS AROD WAS A 5 TOOLS PLAYER. THE GUY WAS A GOLD GLOVE WINNER. But ofcourse most haters are ignorant.
I think Alex move to the DH position has not favored him play defense keeps it warm and active. Play as DH is not his manner toward and has lowered its pace
Buddy a guy older than 35 can't be at third. Cause his body takes a beating. It would of forced him out sooner. When a guy hits, 35 they ship them to 1 st base. Then? When he hits 37 38 39 dh. Cause the wear and tear on an older body is huge. 40 plus, pinch hitting, till he quits, that's only if they owe big money or, he was a great player. Jeter, Ortiz Rodriguez texeria. Average guy, 250 4 -7 hrs 20 rbi 35 36 37 released.
Who said he can’t field? Guy was the best SS in baseball and was forced to moved to 3rd by the diva Jeter, I’m a yankee fan and Jeter cost them many games with his “defense”
History will be kind to A-Rod.. for as everyone said he was self-centered, he was the best player in the world and moved positions. Lets not forget that. And he was FAR better fielder than Jeter.
Man was a beast you can't deny it !! Too bad that steroids crap overshadowed his talent and legacy. Great commentator as well, enjoy listening to him talk baseball. Hopefully the baseball community will forgive him one day
I stick to my guns I played third base too.and some are routine normal plays without the need to diving for the ball don't you know how to cacht a ball sideways or what.
Creo que mover a Alex a la posicion de DH no le ha favorecido, jugar defensa lo mantiene caliente y activo. Jugar como DH no es su costubre y ha bajado su ritmo
Let me question something do you know where you will go after you die? If not let me say you can have a choice to either go to hell or heaven see 2000 years ago there was this man named Jesus who died on the cross for our sins and rose alive 3 days later all because he truly loved us he died for us so I question you now do you truly believe in Jesus or do you live for the world turn to Jesus Christ trust in him Christ has way much more to give than the world he loves us turn to Christ
Roids don't help fielding a ground ball or making a good throw at all. Just like steroids don't help you make contact. Yes it gives him more strength and power but it doesn't help with making contact or mechanics. In my opinion he's one of the best to ever play the game and has over 3000 hits. He should easily be put in the hof.
you can say all you want did he cheated making it to the mlb did he cheated hitting 300 hits did he cheated hitting 700 did he cheated hitting 3,000 I dont think so pluse he apologize and asked for forgiveness and promised never to do it again also when he came back he stop cheating
A-rod was a top tier 3rd baseman. And to think he was an even better SS...
Enhanced by peds
just bc he was younger then
Yeah he was awesome with seattle
@@daviddeleon443 .Stop it. That doesn't teach you how to field
@@emiliarodriguez307 it helps your overall game.

Best 3bman to play the game.

@@kevinjewell1637 Nope heis not
@@thomash.l.9382 Is that a joke?😂
I can't say I'll ever really like A-Rod again, but I'll never get tired of watching his old highlights. Truly a talented man.
Same with Bonds. You know he was a hack but still an entertaining hack
"And people say A-Rod can't field" ... has anyone ever said this ever?
+Mike Miller I was wondering that...he was a awesome SS...took that position to another level...and 3rd base he was pretty good.
Mike Miller yes
Mike Miller MANNY PEOPLE ARE JUST STUPID HATERS AND THAT’S WHY THEY SAY THAT. AROD IS A TWO TUME GOLD GLOVE WINNER AT SHORT STOP HELLOOOOOO!!
A-Rod is one of the best players in the league
The Best PowerHitter of All-TiMe! Skippy...

My favorite player ever so good to watch him play, its like kobe i will miss seeing them both play 😭

Thanks for uploading this- arod has always been an incredible fielder
El mejor de todo los tiempo Alex Rodríguez
El mejor de todos los que usaron PEDs

Wish he would have ended with 700 Abombs and a .300
Huh? People saying A-Rod can't field...Said No one ever.
I see, it's an attempt at click bait-Wrong words though.
Best infielder in history got snubbed out of a couple gold gloves because of the hate , was even better at ss threw around 95
His throwing arm is so strong and accurate-- and it seems that his sidearm style helps with keeping the ball out of the dirt for he 1st baseman- like a sidearm rising fastball
A rod is one of the 5 best players to ever play.
el mejor latino de todo los tiempo A-ROD
This video is also a reminder of how underrated a first baseman Tex was defensively.
Love the Yankees jerseys at 1:00
Sexy huh!
One of the 🐐 s
He was a great defensive player, and base runner, not just a great hitter. Never saw him get thrown out when taking an extra base. Also, many of his stolen bases were when team needed a runner in scoring position, late in game.

That is just crazy arm strength to throw midair

Y'all talking like jeter wasn't good, he ws a beast. Both helped the team in a huge way. Go Yankees
Treshaun Hicks Jeter was a below avg fielding SS, be objective
40Wang+13A-Rod+2Jeter+22Cano=nice play
Lo mejor del juego Alex Rodríguez
A-rod is the best, in america everyone hate a-rod you go to latin america hes there legend
How A-Rod didn't get a gold glove as a 3B...He played a great defense....my opinion.
How come this whole video is of Alex and the Yankees?
It says 3rd base he only played 3b with the yankees
been a yankee fan all my life but a rod was always a better player than jeter
+Trunks yeah, he sure was clutch during the 2004 alcs... heyooooo
Clutch in 09 for #27
duh, way better
False
Killua he was a better defender than jeter and wasn't just a hit guy arod did everything
Arod had an arm dam
2:44 he was safe, but great play
hes the best
ya best ever
Future cuper tow
good point a lot of people think im stupid they should of moved Derek jeter at 3rd arod was freekian shortstop
Quiz: Why were the umps correct not to invoke the infield fly rule? 3:41
Cause it was a bunt attempt ?
Bruce Wayne
Sorry. See Don Pardo for a lovely parting gift.
ah damn was i wrong?
But who said A Rod couldn't field ??? He's always been pretty solid on defense.
RODRIGUEZ THE GOAT
No one has ever said that. Only an idiot or someone who hates him would even have the thought.
Were people saying he couldn't field? I watched the majority of his career and always thought he was highly regarded defensively
he is very good player dominicano de corazon!!!!!!!!!!!
Who the hell said Arod can't field lol? This guy is better than jeter in shortstop
A rod was the bomb
Nobody said that he can't field, he was a shortstop for a reason the guy CAN field
I think Alex move to the DH position has not favored him play defense keeps it warm and active. Play as DH is not his manner toward and has lowered its pace
Yea he isn't making those baseball moves with his body. It's a different game.
Buddy a guy older than 35 can't be at third. Cause his body takes a beating. It would of forced him out sooner. When a guy hits, 35 they ship them to 1 st base. Then? When he hits 37 38 39 dh.

He was worth 100 million a year.
So he settled for a 250 million multi-year contract....not bad at all
A-Roid socks now dude he is striking out more and more
Shut your MexicanFuckingMouth...
who says he can't field ? he won a gold glove at ss
Who said he can’t field? Guy was the best SS in baseball and was forced to moved to 3rd by the diva Jeter, I’m a yankee fan and Jeter cost them many games with his “defense”

I always thought jester was over rated... don't get me wrong jester was amazing though
Colton Rosser Jeter
el mejor
Fucking A rod! Hell YEAH!
His highlights are definitely better than Arenado. Definitely second to Machado (weaker arm, and less accurate)
I miss Arod at third
Whoever says he can't field don't know he's a gold glover
He was a better shortstop..he was aight at 3rd ..
Better then Jeter in every way.
5:49主播說好球
Jeter didn't have the balls or the talent to play 3rd, luckly A-rod has the talent for SS and 3B.
Well-Fucking-Said!...
stupidest thing I've ever heard
XoxoGirlXoxo Dumbest shit i’ve heard, maybe ever.
GIGANTES 19 jeter was beyond overrated
XxXxXxXx fn lie
A. Rod..
A-Rod is the best infielder in the game...Derrek Jeter is overrated garbage. Jose Altuve is better than Jeter
arod would be a better short stop short stop then jeter
Since A-Rod is the most hated can you please work with EAS sports and do the new game and whatever you need to do..you make me cry laughing.
Man, I can’t stand the way Michael Kay says Rodriguez. He says ROD-DRIGUEZ. Emphasis on the “D.” Now you’ll never not hear it. You’re welcome.
A-rod was better then jeter. Simple as that.
who said he couldnt field?
George Wallace Haters

What a ugly way. To field the ball Alex there's no need to dive all the time,a lot of them were easy routine plays without diving. ....
like u can do better
I’m sorry but he has no arm
I left Yankees because the cheater came back
you can say all you want did he cheated making it to the mlb did he cheated hitting 300 hits did he cheated hitting 700 did he cheated hitting 3,000 I dont think so pluse he apologize and asked for forgiveness and promised never to do it again also when he came back he stop cheating
2:48 safe.
Boo
A. - Rod
Steroids are better than Alex Rodriguez.
The most overrated baseball player to ever play the game
its called steroids !!!
