@BlueBlobfishGaming323 Freeman never gave signs of slowing down, it's just everybody liked to hype up guys like Harper and Trout who are on the list. I would argue that Freeman is better than both of them as well, maybe not then, but now.
I think the Ohtani projection is actually fairly good. You have to remember that we had very little to go on in 2019. So i think 25 is the good “this guy could he good or a complete flame-out.” Which if we are being honest, is where we were with Ohtani in 2019.
I remember around 2020, there was a large segment of the baseball card collecting community was selling Ohtani. His cards took a huge dip from where they were in 2018, and people were concerned that he was a bust, relative to the hype. Your assessment is right on. And their ranking is fair given the feeling in 2019.
@@snerdterguson exactly. Ohtani was like this Unicorn that could possibly be insane, but, was just a likely a bust. It feels like trying to project him in 2019 is just a no win proposition. If you put him top 5 and he busts you look like an idiot, and same if you put him under 10 given just how much he popped off.
I love how he says in the Syndergaard segment that he's "projecting good health for everyone" yet still puts Judge at 30 when at that point the only time he missed games was because a pitch broke his hand
100%. People act as if he is just brittle and keeps getting injuries. The last non contact injury he had was his oblique, and that was like half a decade ago. His injuries are all flukes. HBP, crashing into wall twice, diving catch, sliding into third.
Ok so I’m going to kinda predict why judge is low he has always had a huge problem with strike outs. Like for as brilliant a hitter as he is if you get him out it’s more than likely via strike out. That concern doesn’t predict well. Even now he still strikes out so much it’s just that’s really the only way he gets out these days which is why all his other numbers are still unreal
This was pre 2019. At this point Judge had injured his shoulder but played through it at the end of his rookie year,and gotten a broken bone in his wrist from a hit by pitch. Nobody was thinking he was a huge risk to lose time to injuries back then. Nobody should feel that way at all. What human being doesn't at least tear some ligaments in their toe when they run full out and smash it into a block of concrete? His injuries, outside the oblique like 4 or 5 years ago, was a fluke contact injury. Twice crashing into the wall, once on a diving catch and once sliding into third.
Off-season content I can get excited for - your yearly predictions and, eventually, reactions to previous predictions. Every year for as long as you do baseball stuff? Decade or two at least? Huh?
i dont even mind some of these predictions. Amed Rosario was a solid hits guy, and its not outrageous to assume he'd be a key shortstop to whatever mid team he is on, and Jo Adell mashes in AAA but just cant put it together in the majors (could get a full season with the state of the Angels now)
I think my Giants have a great example of how pitchers are nearly impossible to predict. Logan Webb. I don't think he ever made a Top 100 list. Now he's a top 20 pitcher in MLB. He will almost always give up 3 or fewer runs in 6 or more innings. Hes a "quality start" machine.
@@greatnessdelton1381 hes s top 20 pitcher in just about every measurable way. Obviously I didn't mean overall player. There's like 2 pitchers who might make that list.
Article writer’s takes on Ohtani almost totally wrong, which goes to show how brilliant Ohtani is; He pitched + hit in 2023, doing both incredibly well. Sure he’s had TJ surgery, but Shohei is definitely going back to pitching. And then of course the Angels couldn’t make the playoffs so Ohtani got out.
nick senzel is not a failure bc the reds played him in CF. He failed bc every time he would put together 1/2 weeks of really good baseball he would get injured for a month, and he never developed the ability to hit against right handers. He played in a team with league's of talented young players who are all stepping up and improving, so you can't blame the reds org on that.
lol judge at 30 is insane. Also, “one of the top 5, 6, 7 best players of the game.” You’re joking right? He’s the best hitter in the game right now hands down. If you want to give it to Ohtani bc of the unicorn factor I can’t fault you, but let’s see him pitch after his second TJ
Strikes out for a majority of his outs and was injuried in 2018 He is second best player in baseball easily right now and best hitter in baseball by far
Expecting the soon to be 35 year old 1B to still be a top 10 player in the league is a huge reach. You wouldn't have put him top 10 without the hindsight we have today and you know it.
This was at the start of '19. Alvarez hadn't even debuted and was just the #44 prospect in all of baseball. Freeman will be 35 this year, the smart money would be on expecting a decline that thankfully hasn't happened.
@@RyanSchilling-fg9qn In his "down season", he's hitting .286/17/71 with a .882 OPS and 3.9 WAR. He was an all-star again and is still likely finishing in the top 10 for NL MVP. Please be serious. 💀

Crazy to think Freddie Freeman isn't on here. That's probably the biggest miss of the article.
Freeman just turned 34 last September. The writer probably thought that he would slow down a bit. It is still a miss imo.

Worst prediction on this list is that he thought John Fisher would pay Matt Chapman

Watch every game that season, too many egos on the team
Life of a Padre fan 😢
All in all, the writer did a pretty good job imo. He definitely took some risks with the prospects but go big or go home. I'm impressed

On the Ohtani prediction, he said that come 2023 he would not be being pitching and hitting at the same time but look where we are now.

Honestly this dude's predictions are really good. Only a few bad picks on a 5 year prediction, with ALOT of spot on picks as well
This writer was predicting the "Darkest Timeline"; where the Yankees were a super team. Fortunately, that future never came to pass.
thank you for not talking about him, a lot of rays fans get a ton of shit from fans that shit on us cuz of it
Lol Marc said one of the most egregious calls was predicting Jurickson Profar would be good. Whaddya know 🤣🤣

Umm no he is back full to his MVP numbers this year (except for HRs) but he’s been on and off injuried this years so has barely played so def not
As a brewers fan, Keston Hiura being an honorable mention, absolutely shatters my heart. Wish that guy the best

Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.
