I love that EVERY time Marc mentions Arenado he always talks about the people that said he couldn’t hit outside of Coors
everytime bro 😭
It’s true St. Louis is a hitters park too
It’s actually one of the worst hitters park in baseball
@@jandy608 simply not true
@@jandy608 STL is definitely a hitters park if by a hitters park you mean hitting the crack pipe and by STL you mean you
Nice to see Machado get some respect. One thing no one talks about is how when we lost Tatis last season him and Kim really stepped up and were the glue that kept the team afloat. Without them there would have been no playoffs.
And now Kim has no place 😢
@@buelmore9784 Kim is most likely going to second base
@@gojiram9571 replacing jake?
@@ashboy131 Jake going to first for now
@@gojiram9571 cronenworth? Whole season at first?
“And that is why Eduardo Escobar is the best third baseman in baseball”
“And that’s why this joke is getting old”
Actually surprised that he ranked him at 21
This joke isnt funny anymore
Get original nobody laughs at these anymore
Get a new joke lil bro
Watching Chapman play day in day out, his defense always looked great
Chapman should have been the gold glove winner last year
bohm has really improved on defense after like the first 2 months of the season so id say bohm is really top 20
Yeah like in the World Series he was making some plays
He really turned things around after the "I fucking hate this place" incident.
I’m tired of people hating on third basemen who “ aren’t good defensively” Rafael and boom aren’t even thst bad
Yea I’d say he’s in the 16-19 range … think he has potential to have a really good year with improved defense and maybe hit around 300 with 20 bombs
his ratings on the Phillies players are usually extremely harsh unless you're JT lmao. Kind of expect the bias at this point even if he won't address it lmao
Top 3 is insane how good all three are
Yeah you could literally have them in any order and it would be respectable
Alec Bohm at 23 is absolutely ridiculous. The Phillies hate/ Mets bias is really glaring
“Chapmans glove wasn’t good in Toronto”
Are you crazy! Hes a beast!
It was still good, just not Platinum level like it was in Oakland
Without an in-depth understanding of the stats, I'm convinced the Jays defensive shifting made Chapman look much worse analytically (OAA, DRS). Dude pretty much covered the left side of the infield alone half the time, and having watched quite a few Jays games he passes the eye test with flying colours (aside from some higher than usual error rates)
I can't disagree with that
@@noahd-7132 did you watch the Jays games? He was crazy, saving runs left, right and centre. Maybe he wasn’t as good but he definitely deserved higher on the list.
@@ryan-ym8lt I 100% agree
At first I thought Devers at 6 was a disgrace, then I seen the top 5. 3B has the elite of the elite
even with an injury plagued year, he is definitely better than riley and bergman
Yeah thats a low key loaded position in the MLB right now in terms of elite talent.
Bohm being a bad defender is a take I'd accept for the first half of the season. Bro has really tidied his shit up in that aspect and was good in the postseason
Fr he has been able to make some nice plays, especially in the postseason. Off the top of my head he robbed arenado of a hit and made a few really off balance throws for some big oits
@@ct-xh3ur I distinctly remember a big play from him in the World series as well. And came up clutch with some timely hits.
Ik Phillies fans r delusional but come on he’s one of the worst fielders in the game he had -17 drs and -9 oaa this year nothing about that is good
He’s a Mets fan, what do you expect
@@pfr9750 He had -8 OAA in just May. The whole rest of the year he was fine, if a little below average.
You gotta remember, machado played through a gruesome ankle injury which ended his insane start to the season. He was leading the MLB in WAR prior to the injury as well!
And after
@@OughtaBeBrynn machado was robbed of the silver slugger. He had better offensive numbers than nolan. He was also ranked 2nd in the MVP voting and carried his team further in the playoffs
@@OGTirpleOGNolan had more war and way better d
@@KevinS.1415 manny had better fWAR so whats your point? Way better D? Are you using those Defensive stats that contradict each other? DRS judges range, difficulty, and errors. Some how manny is negative in DRS. However, OAA judges range and difficulty. OAA doesnt really take into account errors. Manny is ranked third in OAA right behind Nolan who is second. Manny’s fielding % is 0.966 and nolans is 0.968. Manny also has less errors. So if manny’s fielding is basically identical to nolan, he has less errors than nolan, he is ranked third in OAA, how is his DRS negative and his defense WAR (according to baseball reference) average? Nolan is better defensively but not way better in the same way manny is better than nolan offensively. Baseball reference is also a terrible site that is always changing their defensive metrics. They gave matt chapman a negative defensive WAR rating when he won a platinum glove. They redid their grading and chapman magically had a great defensive year.
When you have players that are this evenly match, you go watch the playoffs. Nolan had 1 H and had a error in game 1 that made the potential of a Cards comeback low. Manny had a way better playoff performance and played elite defense.
MACHADO!!!! Well deserved. He was carrying the whole team for a good month when others struggled. He has been awesome with the Padres!
matt chapman actually being fairly rated for once?🤯
Chapman so overrated, at third base u would rather have a guy like Jose Ramirez who is serviceable in the field and hits top tier than a guy who is top tier in the field and average hitter
23 for Bohm is extremely harsh imo
Yeah, his take on his defense was pretty bad
@@brandenp1187 it’s almost like he didn’t watch a single Philly game after may
Use me as the Arenado > Machado comment
Alec Bohm is better than 23 💀
As an O's fan I appreciate the respect for the kid but Gunnar at 10 for a guy that played a quarter season is really high
fr.
Is their 2022 gold glover Ramon Urias not their 3rd baseman anymore?
@@naytex1 highly unlikely as he was a hindrance at the plate
Never clicked so fast🔥🔥🔥Baseball season can’t come any sooner⚾️
I agree, I miss watching the Astros
I'm honestly surprised Marc ranked Josh Donaldson as high as 14th. It feels generous, and I'm a Yankees fan. With the bat, Donaldson was horrible this season, but yet his defense was spectacular. Here's hoping the offense comes back a little bit, because we the fans don't like him much.
I think you may have forgot the Tigers 3rd baseman? As of now I believe it’s projected to be Justyn-Henry Malloy, the high ranked prospect we traded for. Although there still is a chance they sign someone this free agency period as well to platoon time at 3rd
he put candelario
@@satchel2009 he is on Washington, signed with them a week or two ago
As of now they don’t have anyone
@@theredhood028 they do, Justyn Henry Malloy. Who would be a rookie but is projected to start for them, as of now. Unless they sign someone else, which admittedly would take some of his playtime if not a lot of it.
This video isn’t about next season. It’s about what we just saw.
That Top 3 is so disgusting both offensively and defensively. Sheesh. 😅😅🔥🔥🔥
Agree but he stud
i know being a mets fan it’s hard to put bohm inside the top 20, but you gotta put bohm somewhere there. he had a great year. he spits line drives everywhere and hits right around .290-.300. his defense also isn’t even bad anymore. he is a solid defender now
I don’t have any real problems with this but there are definitely a couple things I would change. Like I would probably put Riley at 6 devers at 5 and bregman at 4. Also I would probably switch Arenado and Machado. But those are all small things that probably more matter on how each person ranks certain aspects of the game
Nolan and Manny had the same numbers. Manny played a season on one ankle, and played without protection from April-August. Manny still played elite defense too, despite the ankle injury. There is no debate. Nolan had Goldy for protection
I love how Jose Ramirez won a silver slugger yet he’s third but Nolan Arenado wins a gold glove yet he’s 2nd and then manny machado who didn’t win anything goes 1st?
Exactly also the fact Rameriez was on pace for 170 RBIs until he got hurt and had no protection in the lineup and still managed to led the second youngest team in baseball history into the postseason. Yeah ok the two he had above where better😂😂😂
Quit the whining guys, bc as Marc stated, they are really all #1. I personally would put Ramirez at #2 behind Nolan, but like any of these guys could be and would deserve to be #1.
Arenado > Scumbag Machado all day everyday. Busch is a way harder park to hit in so his numbers would be better playing at petco. Arenado much better defense. Plus Arenado didnt end a should be hall of famers career. J Ram should also be above Machado
Loving the daily drops my guy, good stuff. Chapman’s glove being off is just not true though. Baseball savant and advanced stats aren’t doing him justice. Watched enough Jays games to know that his glove is still elite
Very dumb of you to not mention Bohm’s defensive improvements as the season went on
Bohm’s defense is still dog water. Very dumb of you to comment that
@@ghostknight7901 🤣
Love papi Suarez won us so many games and defense was nice
FINALLY MACHADO GETS THE RESPECT HE DESERVES
IKR
We've known that he's been one of the best players for a while. Idk what you mean by "finally." I may not like him, but I will admit that he's a damn good ball player and is easily a top 2 3rd basemen, tied or lower than Arenado
Prove with stats that he's better than Arenado.
@@radish1972 yeah how
@@radish1972 you be and because it’s not there. I actually like Machado but no
Just got a machado city connect jersey, feelin good
15:49 that person is wearing a Myles straw jersey 🤣
One thing I think most people forget about manny, he was hurt almost all last year with a bum ankle. And still finished second in MVP. With half a season where he was without any protection. Machado’s defense was only “bad” because of the ankle. Dude’s just all around the best
Oh boy, if there needed to be a Twitter space for any of these rankings this is the one. A fanbase is gonna be angry at who did or didn’t end up at #1.
But as a Pads fan, I’m not mad lol
I can’t be mad at manny #1 but I think he’s identical to Nolan at the plate and a little worse defensively
Arenado is better than machado
Tbf Alec Bohm’s defense has improved tremendously
Good to see Ryan McMahon getting recognized and do you think if the Mets keep Baty he will play 3rd over Escobar
Nado is on a different planet. He’s 1 fs
Definitely
Fun fact, Brandon Crawford was very forward about the off-season. He could never get himself going the way he would like to the entire time he just never got in the rhythm the end of the year if you can keep that going next year you'll be all right but he won't be there but he started. I can guarantee you we got Schmidt on the way.
Alec Bohm is better at fielding than Eduardo Escobar and he deserves way much more love than he actually gets
Escobar has better OOA and DR'S than Bohm. He has quite a bit worse UZR but not convinced you can say Bohm is better and even if he is its like comparing 2 piles of poo
@@jonathansibert8079 technically we have 3
baseman Alec Bohm Bryson Stott and Trea Turner and combine all of their Ba Way better than Eduard oh Escobar
@@thebestgamer3293 Turner has NEVER played 3B in his career and Stott has a total of 14 games there between college, minor and last season at majors... So classifying either of them as a 3B is a MAJOR stretch
And regardless if they even have, the argument wasn't about 3B overall or what team had the better depth there it was strictly between Escobar and Bohm defense so bringing in other players is completely irrelevant
glad machado getting his flowers
That’s why Brett baty will be the best third baseman of all time
Man, Miranda at 24 is criminal
I don't know how you think Chapman's glove was not good, I watched every game & he was elite, he saved so many runs
Bohm really picked it up after the first 2 months of the season I’d say he’s a top 18 player
Miranda at 24 is insane
Usually I'm on board with some of your takes, but you can tell the Mets bias with that Bohm description there. First half of the season, yeah. His defense blew. But he got much better throughout the year. Probably 19, honestly.
Me complaining because Morel is a CF and only played a handful of games at 3rd:
Gunner Henderson was fun to watch in 2022.
Bregman hits 20 home runs and Giraffe melts. No way he’s better than Devers.
Remember when, "Manny being Manny" was Manny Ramirez's thing? We should start using that for Machado.
Riley ranking is spot on, however he is the best ceiling of any player here offensively, now that Chipper is back and able to work with Riley again watch out, Chipper says Riley could be a 50 homer guy
This was actually a really good list - I usually don’t expect that from a list like this
I will NOT let JOSE at 3 slid… He led the league with 44 doubles, had a 6 WAR, 126 RBIs (3rd in MLB), 20 SB… ALL WITH A BROKEN THUMB 😂 not to mention he was 1st last year and really didn’t do much to slid down.
3:25 Astonishingly the first person who improved in Marc's vid...!!!???
Bad take on Devers! Easily top 5 and not as bad at defense anymore. People may say that he’s a bad defender but he’s not. He made highlight reel plays all season and ranked 9th among all mlb 3rd basemen in fielding percentage. He may not be the best fielder, but he is average at worst, could even argue he is slightly above average.
Just to put into perspective, Devers had a 964 fielding percentage and Arenado had a 966 fielding percentage
Thank you for giving Manny the long overdue respect. He’s definitely #1, the numbers don’t lie.
The numbers say he's worse than Machado I checked
well he and arenado had identical offensive seasons, and arenado is a far better defender, so the numbers definitely say that arenado is better
@@nicholaskea8693 Machado had better offensive numbers. Arenado also had another MVP in Goldy, while Manny carried the Padres into the postseason. Please log off.
@@edgyanole9705 manny had better offensive numbers. Arena do was a better defender. Manny was an mvp too
@@nicholaskea8693 Errornado had Goldy for protection all year and Machado played a season on one ankle. With no protection til the deadline.
Marc if you do a DH ranking, J.D. Martinez will be the Dodgers full time DH and if JT leaves then Max Muncy will be the new Dodgers 3B.
Putting Nolan at #2 is a travesty.
I thinks he's easily 1
Putting Manny at 2 would be a tragedy
@@imwinningbxch you're right, he belongs at #3
@@bingbung agree
@@bingbung na it's 4.arenado
3.riley.
2.jram
1.machado
Marc doesn’t get Bohm ever. His arm is never the problem, and even his glove was above average towards the end of the season. He was actually ranked as a top 8 defensive third baseman this past session. He is a top 15 third baseman at least, and easily better than a guy like Escobar
the top 3 guys you could put in any order and you'd be correct all are future hall of famers
Ke’Bryan outside of the top 10 with his defense is a real Mark with a C take… lol
It feels wrong to put Riley below the top 3, but J-Ram is insane and Arenado and Machado are too good. It looks very very wrong to have him at number 4 since he's been in the MVP conversation since 2021, but it makes sense once you look further into it. I'd personally have him above J-Ram, but below Arenado and Machado
Hayes actually had better defensive metrics than arenado but people don’t like to hear that
Marc doesn’t get Bohm ever. His arm is never the problem, and even his glove was above average towards the end of the season. He is a top 15 third baseman at least
Honestly. Idk if you’ve been watching but devers defense was VERY MUCH improved last year.
Thanks for this Marc. It a lot of work.
Devers was playing hurt after the all-star break
What makes you expect regression out of Miranda please explain
I like it. Machado is the best 3rd baseman. Really the last 5 or so are all very very good and ANY would want anyone of them.
Actually Arenado is better
@@edgyanole9705 you can’t quantify that. No complaints about either in my book.
Alec Bohm has the most upside out of anyone outside of the top 10.
I hope Longoria comes back to the Rays
In your top 5 I'd pick Bregman over Riley and Arenado over Machado. Machado was a beast though
As a White Sox fan and someone who has constantly been tormented by J-Ram, he’s gotta be 1. Respect to the other 2 guys but J-Ram is the king at 3rd
I watched every Jays game this year Chapman's glove was elite don't speak on what you didn't watch
Love the rankings
Nolan Arenado is my favorite player so I would put him at #1, but Manny Machado isn't a bad choice at #1 either. I always viewed them as on the same tier
Machado is not better than Arenando. Arenando is better defensive than Machado. Hitting is close but Arenando is better.
With Swanson signed in chicago, hoerner likely slides to 2nd base instead of madrigal. Where would hoerner likely fit into the 2nd base list?
Pie Traynor has to be number 1 second best pirate of all time besides honus Wagner man witching them Las year was a dream come true
Thank you for respecting Manny!
this guy put every mariner's player at the number 8 spot. cal, ty and Suarez all at 8
J-Ram should always be #1. The guy wears a chain with a pic of himself wearing a chain. Cmon.
Bohm should be higher because his defense after May was actually really good.
Comerica park really isn’t nearly as bad of a park for hitters as you always seem to think. Huge gaps allows for tons of extra bases and down the lines is like average for an MLB stadium. As long as you don’t hit it to dead center it doesn’t affect how well a hitter does as much as you make it seem
Yandy Diaz is top 5 I swear to god if this man is outside the top 8 I'm gonna lose it.
Machado supremacy, you love to see it
Walsh belongs higher. He was terrible last year, not because anyone figured him out, because he was hurt. They finally shut him down for surgery. he had compartment syndrome which is an ailment pitchers get. Walsh was a two way player until he got the majors. The injury definitely affected his swing. If he comes back healthy which is expected you his swing should return and he is an elite defender
Wowwwww great rankings brother!! Agree with you 100%!!!
Manny machado is so good
I couldn’t agree more on 1A, 1B and 1C. As a Padres Fan I’m going to say this MANNY MACHADO #1!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regarding Chapman; the glove was good. It was very, very good. But for whatever reason I don't understand, that wasn't reflected in the defensive stats.
10:28 Was that "In da club" playing in the background?
it's crazy how Anthony Rendon used to be one of the best 3rd basemen in baseball if not the best 3rd basemen in baseball in now below average in your rankings if he plays, he mashes just he can't play man is injured for 99% of the season
Love Manny Ranking Frier Faithful
Good list but Bohm at 23 was shocking
It's honestly peculiar that Witt's defense is so much worse at shortstop than it is at third base, seeing as how that's his natural position
Love these vids, keep it up man
Aranado is better
Day 4!
Biggest Rise: Yandy Diaz 24-11
Biggest Drop: Jeimer Candelario 15-29
Having moancada above anyone is wild - Sox fan here
