"Angels, get these guys in the Playoffs."
All Baseball fans agree in unison.
As a Mariners fan I condemn this.
We all agree and disagree at the same time because lord knows what damage those 2 alone can do in the big games.
The Angels have Trout, Ohtani and Rendon. The rest of the team is AAAA at best.
They need someone like Bruce Bochy to manage that team. Tommy Lasorda once said of Bochy that he could get 25 guys from Labor Ready and win a world series with them.
They will this year
@@hahahaj7117 Rangers fan here I agree fuck all that noise
Ichiro said at the retirement press conference that he wanted Shohei Ohtani to become the best player in the world in the future. Shohei has already fulfilled that expectation and achieved it.
Slow down kid
He has? He’s not even the best player on his own team lol
@@GoodOlCharlieBrown he’s better than trout u can make an argument but it’s just wrong
I don't care what others are achieving
@@falc6650 how many bad seasons has Ohtani had already in his short career? Now tell me how many bad seasons Trout has has lol
I played pro baseball when I was younger. I washed out in the low minors like most guys do, but I can tell you that the reason most pitchers can't hit their weight is because the skill sets for pitchers and hitters are completely different and take a lot of time and effort to master (hitters also tend to be terrible pitchers). I'm not sure that most fans realize what an incredible accomplishment it is to be a two way player in the major leagues. Ohtani is just an incredible talent.
Who doesn't love Shohai
ShoTime is just Incredible, My favorite team is the Mets of the 1980s, Ohtani is like Strawberry and Gooden as one player at their prime, those 2 were compared to Ted Williams & Gibson at their prime.
@@Sir_Bojangles556 those arrogant american racists pigs who voted judge as 2022 MVP hate shohei make them like fools, make MLB players like kindergarten level players.
@@Sir_Bojangles556 I don’t he’s overrated in my opinion
Nobody tops the excitement of watching bartolo colon in 2015 tho. Or 2016 I forget which year it was
And that's why Justin Verlander will not just be Cy young next season He will also get the Hank Aaron award and will lead mets to the world series.
Everybody says and that’s why
“And that’s why this joke isn’t funny anymore”
@@Baseballifyit’s still funny
@@Random-so8qp it’ll always be funny
@@Baseballify always funny
Idc what anyone says, Jose Ramirez is STILL the most underrated player in baseball. I’ve hardly seen him get much recognition when he’s an absolute monster
No Nimmo
Bro he gets mentioned too much
And Cole, Cortes, and Severino still own him lmao
That’s Kyle Tucker
@@fatdingo8251 as a Yankees fan thank you!!
Shohei Ohtani is an amazing hitter and pitcher, but look at this base running. This guy is a beast!! Did you see his fielding skills? He's truly magical.
And he picks up trash from the ground whenever he sees it.
@@superdonk1214 Truly a magical player
Love to see Ohtani at 1!
Please Angels don't waste of two talents
@@ablmjjjwtwm4454 that’s what the angels good at. Should have renamed the team as fallen angels
@@Iverson8811 笑笑
Othani make historic game last day .
Not sure how Andres Gimenez didn't make the top 50. Dude has 141 OPS+ and a great glove. He can play the whole left side of the infield. 7.4 WAR season. I'm not remotely a Guardians fan, but you put him on any big brand team he would be known as a top 30 player after last year. I guess you could say its only been 1 year, but there is no reasons he slows down, and clearly has been better then Bo.
He’s projecting for 2023 so he favours guys with a track record of strong performances. I’m not saying he’s correct just that’s how he views it
Yea Andres is a big snub cause its confusing why Franco is even on this list, Andres still probably needs to prove more but if Franco is making this list then Gimenez definitely should
yeah i agree, no shot wander franco is better than him
@Francis Han Better than bo 😂😂
@@ronmexico7256wander was 50, and i think andrez was better than wander
For those whining about Judge, just note that Ohtani was 3rd in last year's ranking while also winning MVP
@Timmy Johnston judge didn’t pitch a single major league pitch this year also
@timmyjohnston411 It's easier to be good at doing 1 then 2, and don't talk about judge defense over pitching, that's where Yankee fans lose aII creditbility, stand there in the outfield Iike a statue making one or two plays a game, and by the way pitchers play defense and their doing it 60 feet away.
Judge had a great season, though let's not forget the guy that currently bats after him in the lineup hit only 3 less HR with even more RBIs just 5 years ago. My point was that if he keeps this level of play over another season like Ohtani did then no reason to believe he won't be on top next year.
@Timmy Johnston imagine if ohtani only pitched
Judge played CF he didn’t stand out there like a statue. Plus he threw out a lot of base runners with his arm to save runs being scored. You lose credibility
“And that’s why Carlos Correa failing his physical was BS”
Not BS
@@mikeyposs3132 it was a joke
Shohei is literally a god no joke he's the best to play the game
He's in a window of dominance. He, like a few other great players, still need a few more years of dominance to be a GOAT. But Shohei has definitely pinned down a spot in history for his accomplishments this far. I just hope he maintains his health.
If Shohei can dominate as a 2 way player for another 6 or 7 seasons that'll be almost a decade, then Ohtani will be on the Mount Rushmore of the greatest Baseball players of all time ⚾️
@@trevorcarey3997 needs to make the playoffs and actually win something first. If he can do that, then we can start talking about him like that. Fair or not, winning matters when talking about legacy.
No
27. Scherzer
13. Harper
10. Turner
5. Soto
Imagine being a Nationals fan
What I think would be interesting would be an intro next year giving insight on things like “the players who had the biggest fall off of the list”, would be super interesting to see the players who saw a drastic difference from their slot from the year prior.
When I start a 2nd channel, expect to see this on there. Really cool idea
@@GiraffeNeckMarc awesome! I was thinking that while watching and really wanted to throw that idea out there! Long time viewer, keep up the good work and happy holidays, man!
Personally, I think it'd be a neat idea if the player was on a different team the previous year, you put that team's font for the previous year's number and ranking. I just think it'd look cool lol. Great list as always, Marc!
That's a cool idea
I thought he had done that last year. I’ve seen it somewhere,it’s pretty meaningless but it is funny to see when it happens
Very good idea, 100% will do it next year
@@GiraffeNeckMarc A man of the people!
Awesome, can't wait! Hopefully Nathaniel Lowe has crept his way into the top 50 by then.
I really do agree with most of this list! Well done, Marc! I’ll be curious if Judge is able to pass Trout this year but if Trout is healthy I do think he’s a bit better still. Ohtani is just nuts lol
When did trout pitch like a Cy young caliber pitcher too ? Love trout and he is correctly placed at #2. But really over Ohtani.
@@broman74dude95 He agree's with you, you misread when he said Ohtani is nuts, he means ShoTime is beyound superhuman great, no doupt he's # 1 on the list👍🏻
I agree with most the list but a few big misses, one is andres Gimenez, All star team, gold glove, 6 in mvp voting but some how not top 50
@Marvelfan I respect that Yordan’s offensive value is tremendous but he provides little to no defensive value which drops him on this list (and rightfully so in my opinion).
I don’t know how Judge got lower than Trout. Haters gonna hate.
An amazing job, Marc! Thoroughly enjoy every single episode and can't wait for next year already!
P.S. I agree, Ohtani is just a straight up alien
The Angels better get things right next season. They can´t waste the prime of two generational talents, while you also can easily argue that Ohtani is even above generational, but I don´t know the term of that...
A once in a century type player, so... centurial? If that's even a word lol but I agree
@@SolRose5 You´re onto something there. I had to search up some definitions and if you´re 100 years old you get called a centenarian and if you´re 70-79 years old you get called a septuagenarian. So he´s without a doubt at least a once in a centenarian or septuagenarian type of player :P
Pipe dream but I hope Atlanta shatters their farm and their luxury tax to obtain and sign him. Anderson, Soroka, Fried, and I'd throw in Ozuna AND pay for 50% of the contract, plus a top hitting prospect, whoever they want. Angels immediately have 3 great to above average arms, a questionable power hitter who needs a different team. Braves have Fried replacement and another outfielder.
I don’t even think words like that can really describe him because we’ve truly never seen anything like him before… Maybe Anomaly??
My dream is that Ohtani gets CY Young award and home run title in a same year or grabs the two titles in a different year, possibly back to back in his prime time🎉
He’s the only guy can possibly achieve winning the CY, MVP, silver slugger in the same year. 😅
So weird seeing Trout at no.2 😱
ohtani is just better than trout
@@Thatguy_99 Trout is a far better hitter but Ohtani brings so much to the table
@@Thatguy_99 Ohtani still hasn't put up a season better than Trout's best though.
@@Thatguy_99 trout is a far better fielder and hitter
its just that ohtani pitches too
@@Thatguy_99 Im an angels fan so i want them both 1 and 2 either way on Marc's list again next year 😂
Why is Verlander 42? He was arguably the best pitcher in baseball last year and it’s not like it was an insane outlier season/he couldn’t do it again.
If I had to bet on better Cy young voting finish for next year Verlander vs. Cole I’m picking Verlander.
And that is why Jeff McNeil will hit 74 home runs in 2023.
Jokes aside he should be in the list
This vid also kinda illustrates the sadness of the Angels. Having arguably the best two players in all of Baseball and still missing the play offs.
Thanks for all the hard work, Marc! Been watching these 12 days of Christmas series for a few years now and I always look forward to them. Keep having fun covering baseball, we need more people like you making this game we love fun to watch. Appreciate ya.
Glad you like them!
@@GiraffeNeckMarc no Jeremy pena the disrespect
And with that 869 slugging, that makes Pete Alonso the greatest player of all time
Nice little “and that’s why” remix lmao😊
Amazingly, the alien is still evolving. He has turned down all the offers from many Japanese TV stations, no matter how expensive they are, and is just working hard in training. The next time we will see him in the media is at the WBC, and I can't wait.
Ohtani will strikeout Trout in the WBC! Mark my word
I’m so excited to seeing Ohtani vs Team USA.
@@ian0903 this is CRAZY
@@levikamara3069 haha it is. Didn’t think it would really happen. Was just hoping they would face each other.
@@ian0903 damn. you were spot on LMFAO
Steven Kwan ranked # 1 at left field is left out of top 50 players, surprising
This list is all over the place. Mets suckoff parade for the most part.
Agreed.
How are we going to rank Gerrit Cole over Verlander 😂.
I’m a Yankees fan btw but this made me laugh.
The sheer amount of quality to above average to great talent in terms of players across baseball is great and unfair man. As a baseball fan I love it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥⚾️⚾️
When JT Realmuto was up forgot to mention 2nd ever catcher to get a inside the park home run
Nimmo at 36 😭😭😭😭😭😭 what a Homer good lord
Shohei is literally the Jesus of modern baseball
he plays for to Angels so your right
No
@@matthewstaffordsburner1040 bruh, you blind?
Yessssss I love the ohtani rating. Iv been saying that he’s gonna be the goat and people think I’m crazy
Unless he actually gets to the playoffs and wins something, he’ll never be the goat. Fair or not.
@@gdo3510 that’s true
@@gdo3510 Judge has gone to the postseason and hitting only .210 , it's like he's never in it, can't blame ShoTime & Trout if their team is bad
Im not ready to live in a world where mike trout doesnt have a 1 next to his ranking……but I get it😢
Get sho and trout to the postseason PLEASE
Bryce at 13 is crazy. Only a Mets fan would try to justify that
And that’s why the list is just the Mets roster
Trout 3
Judge 2
Ohtani 1
This didn’t age well with acuna at 21
Julio Urias is underrated
They screwed Ohtani last year. Give the man his flowers. He's doing two things together that nobody has done in 100 years of baseball and they want him to do both of them better than anybody to win MVP? Judge was great and yes, the homerun record chase doesn't come that often but they hyped that whole thing up in my opinion.
Great great video! Subscribed
I think it’s funny that when talking about Pete you say “led the league in RBI” and when talking about Judge you say “tied for the league lead in RBI.
Great video, just a small, funny bias nugget 😅
It really is a Greek tragedy that the two best players in baseball - two of the best in the history of baseball - are on a perennial 4th place team.
Great list. 1. Ohtani. 2. Judge
From a Braves fan to a Mets fan...I hope you have a very Merry Christmas Marc and I continue to look forward to those Braves / Mets matchups during the season. Its gonna be a fun one
Framber Valdez. How do you not include him?
I wish Kyle Schwarber was on this list
I just wish that Ohtani is at least 5 years younger so we can see him be an elite two-way player for way more years. He's already about to be 29 and I can see him being able to be an elite two-way player on both sides for 5-6 years max. Hope he can prove us all wrong and at least be able to be an elite two-way player for at least a decade more. He's the reason I started watching baseball for real about two years ago now.
Did I miss something? No way anybody with knowledge doesn’t include Julio Urias. He could have easily won back to back Cy Young awards!
I love these rankings, but I think yordan deserves to be in the top 10
Yep! If I had to pick one player at the plate with the World Series on the line, it's Yordan.
@@josephnewman713 emphasis on “at the plate”
@@thisaccountexists5545 Yordan’s defense is extremely underrated, don’t over look it
@@ghostknight7901 yeah i feel like if he even played OK defense and played a full 150+ he would be an MVP

Final Day!! Top 50 Players In MLB, it feels nice to have 3 players from my team!!
Biggest Rise, Yordon Alvarez 🤮 50 to 12 (38 spots)
Biggest Drop, Marcus Semien 😭 16 to 39 (23 spots)
Well that’s the end of the 12 days of MLB rankings!! I hope I helpt y’all with my information throughout this series this year, I might do it next year (it’s hard, I takes a good 30 minutes gathering this) but Merry Christmas Happy New Year!! GO RANGERS!!!
You’re a legend, hit me up on Twitter or Instagram
@@GiraffeNeckMarcoh wow, thanks! I don’t have twitter or instagram, but I can find something to do!!
Merry Christmas Giraffe and thank for you the content!
Personally, no clue how Nimmo is a Top 50 player. Feels like a lot of biased there. Plus you put a guy like Harper at 13 because he’s gonna miss games but then rank guys like Buxton, Scherzer, Nimmo, deGrom etc normally even though they miss games regularly. Not to mention the lack of pitchers on the list. Guys like Urias, McClanahan, Manoah, Fried, Gallen, Gausman, Strider, Bieber, etc deserve recognition. Just my thoughts. Appreciate the work put into it nonetheless
Love this comment so much, couldn’t agree more
This is a great list for the most part. I don't understand how Andres Gimenez doesn't make your list. I understand he had one good year, but you put a lot of guys who weren't on this list last year, that had worse years than Gimenez (Springer, Smith, Harris) or at least were compatible (Adley and J-Rod)
Love gimenez! But not a top 50. Especially after 1 year good year. Adley and Jrod were true rookies. Gimenez seems to be putting things together after being in the league for a couple years. I didn’t see McNeil on this list and McNeil is better than gimenez. Just too many good players in the league rn
@@dannovikoff8454 he made the all mlb team hes 100% top 50
Ohtani's 15 wins with the Angels meant other strong teams won 18-19. Ohtani is also a player who can hit 40 homers and steal bases.
The 2022 MVP is Aaron, but I personally think Ohtani is the top.
But I think the reason the Angels with Ohtani and Trout can't win is because of the pitching staff. I think the Angels will become a strong team if they strengthen their pitching staff.
The angels had the 9th best staff ERA in the MLB last year. And a bottom 5 offense. Which is why they went out and got 3 solid bats this offseason, and with Rendon returning and hopefully a full season of Regnifo's 2nd half production, nevermind bounce back candidates in Walsh and Stassi, or O'Hoppe having a good rookie season, this could be a really good team.
@@noahmcdaniel4920 Yep, Ohtani, Saurez, Sandoval, and Deitmers all had ERAs under 4. Can't ask for more from starters. Their relief pitchers were also on par. Any one that watched most of those games know they had a lot of 0-1 run games, at least way more than I've seen any of the other teams. They need bats for 2023 to have a chance, especially with the Rangers making a lot of moves too.
The hitting staffs excluding Ohtani and trout are all terrible.
Health and availability is a skill. Can't rate DeGrom that high - he's great, but NEVER healthy.
Merry Christmas Mark. Thank you!
Great video as always Marc, love this series
I'm waiting to see Marc's vid about Correa failing the 2nd physical with the Mets
OHTANI THE BEST BY FARRRR
Trout still better.
@@abelbalboa552 🤣 🤣 🤣 can he pitch oo ok yeah you lost
This year judge was better. Overall, Ohtani is best
nope
@@abelbalboa552 trout has been dethroned and all it took was a guy who could pitch and hit at an elite level
“Like a fine wine, he only gets better with age” literally everyone when they talk about Verlander.
I get it’s hard to rank pitchers with position players, but the best pitcher in the league last year at 42?
Big respect for getting this recorded, edited and uploaded today...hope u had a great Christmas
Thanks, you too!
My Top 25:
1. Ohtani
2. Trout
3. deGrom
4. Judge
5. Tatis Jr
6. Goldschmit
7. Machado
8. Betts
9. Trea
10. Verlander
11. Arenado
12. JRam
13. Freddie Freeman
14. Yordon
15. Burnes
16. Harper
17. Acuña
18. JRod
19. Vladdy
20. JT
21. Correa
22. Riley
23. Kershaw
24. KTuck
25. Edwin Díaz
I like the list I would probably bring Goldy and trea down and replace j-Rod with devers
I just can’t get through that He put Juan Soto over Mookie Betts
Same 😂😂😂
Solid picks. My baseball card collection confirms it all. While most of the card prices are down, I have realized that with good picks like a lot in your video, you can still be ahead of the pricing game in this down market. Thanks for your video series. It was very enjoyable to watch it all. Got to get ready early for Fantasy Baseball season. Giraffe Neck Marc videos is a must watch for serious players.
I never thought the day would come where Marc put trout lower than #1
I promise Kyle tucker will move up to top ten list next year
It’s gonna be really hard for American League to win mvp bec of shohei ohtani
0:40
Ngl should’ve put him at 14
Amazing how Jram is STILL so underrated
How is 8th best player in baseball underrated?
@@dannovikoff8454 do you not know what underrated mean
Degrom showed it last year? He completely choked down the stretch. It was basically all his starts because he doesn’t pitch a lot anymore.
Verlander "is literally the fine wine." Figuratively, actually.
I 💗 Ohtani
Marc loves guys that don't play. Franco, DeGrom, Robert, and Buxton
best players in the game
@@Austinfought 😂
did i miss him or was DeGrom off the list
@@KalenAlmeida degrom is on
ive been watching your videos since long ago and i like them a lot, i cant belive i wasnt subscribed until now lol
As a 30 year Padre fan, if you told me 5 years ago that we would have 3 players that could be considered top 5 in MLB (obv Tatis has to prove it again) multiple $300+ million dollar contracts, and just knocked LA out in the NLDS, I would have laughed in your face.
“And that’s why Brandon Nimmo is not only the most underrated player in baseball, he will channel that underratedness and turn it into anger to lead the Mets to win the 2023 World Series, Win a gold glove, MVP, Silver Slugger, and Home Run Derby Champion.”
As an Astros fan there’s not much to complain about and although I miss having guys like Cole, Correa, Verlander etc. I really miss seeing number 4 in center field. George springer is still one of my favorite players in the league.
Love seeing JRam in the top 10. What I'd love more is to see him over Machado. It will happen next year.
I love how Dansby Swansons numbers at Shortstop were equal if not better then Lindors. With the sa.e level of defense and lindor was ranked 22 spots higher.
This guy is so bias he can't even hide it anymore 🤣
Could we get a manager rankings at some point?
Check back during the season. Hard to rank guys who have never managed a game before
Oh man, despite my love for Julia Rodriguez, I really think you still have to put Acuna ahead of him. Also, why is JV so low! He literally won the Cy Young, he should be up with Sandy in the mid 20s. Also, I don’t understand how Luis Robert and Wander Franco get on this list, they’ve been good for spurts, but have not done it consistently. Maybe a homer pick, but I definitely think Luis Castillo deserves to be on this list for sure as well.
Nicely done. Ty for putting in the time to put this video together. Lots of time had to go into it. Personally, I think Vlad is underrated. To me, he is a top 10 player.
Impressive rankings. Great job keeping this short
Bartolo colon not at 1 is abismal
Ohtani🎊🏆THE ONE and ONLY MOST VALUABLE PLAYER!
Best and MVP are two different things
@@JBullock54 we all know who the mvp is.
@@suika197 Yeah the guy who won it
@@JBullock54….the guy with Goldilocks MVP….🎉
I like the list although I would find a way to put Yordan in the top 10.
Imagine having the 2 best players in the world on a professional sports team and that team doesn’t even make the playoffs that’s the baseball (team) effect
Steven kwan was you’re number 1 left fielder and DIDNT make to 50?!?!
Love the Marcus Semien respect. After being horrid in his first two months for the rangers he was one of the best players in all of baseball in the second half. Dude still had an over 6 war season despite being barely above average with the bat
I don’t get how people have Trout ahead of Judge going into the 2023 season. Trout can’t stay on the field and ever when he was on the field he wasn’t a better player than Judge in 2022. People have this unreal bias that no matter what a hitter does that can’t eclipse Trout and it’s simply not true. Ohtani of course should be 1 because he’s ridiculous but there’s no argument for Judge to not be 2.
I'm glad Acuna bounced back
Shohei is so great if he does this for like 15 year career he’ll be undisputed goat of baseball
Last 2 years he got 80 HR and 24 wins. Multiplied by 7.5, 600 HR and 180 wins. Half of these number is probably good enough to be in HOF.😁
Need Spencer strider in here
20 career starts
Shocked to not see Fried on here.
I think that Dylan cease should be in this list I mean he was in the top 3 candidate for the AL cy young award
Devers is criminally underrated
He'd be higher if he could just play average defense. He should be a full time DH.
he would be higher if he did not fall off in the 2nd half
@@angad1290 he fell off but his numbers were still comparable to Jose Ramirez
@@JoeyZero123 There are two problems with your view firstly is one you thought about which is the stark difference in the ability to defend. The second and less obvious reason is the offensive output in a stadium, jram home stadium is less friendly to hitters than Rafael devers home stadium.
plus jram is a significantly better on the bases
Can't wait for WBC🔥
Yes, maybe number 1 vs number 2, Trout never faced Ohtani even as teammates batting practice, we know they'll be pumped like me to see the ultimate matchup
Not sure how you could knock Buxton that far down by playing the injury card and give Trout a pass.
