You put starling mattes stats for ketel
Where it says “last year” can u put the colors of the players team last year instead of the same color
Thank you for the video every Christmas now I look forward to this video
wrong stats for marte
@laf7337 great job on this list!
Putting Javier Baez at #1 is a bold pick, but I respect Marc's opinion
Javier Baez is not good at all he is not in the top 50 at all he will never be in the top 50 at all
@@user-sz4ze5vu5r bro it was a joke 🤦
If Biaz played for the Mets u can bet your ass this guy woulda put him in the top 50! Don’t forget he still ranked Mets closer #1 which is an absolute joke considering he didn’t play A SINGLE INNING LAST YR!
Acuña
Bro Javier sucks
Marc saying “dropped him down a few” for Goldschmidt when he went from 9 to 42 is so funny to me 😂
Cole Eagan’s needs to be on this list smh
He did Goldy dirty!
He said "quite a few", not dropped him down a few
@@debeshhalder7137 okay but regardless that’s not a few that’s a whole lot. It doesn’t matter to me what he said, I just thought it was funny because that’s not a few.

And that’s why despite a down season, Brett Baty is the best player entering the 2024 season

Not so fast says MLB THE SHOW 23 ‼️🤣😂😅😆
...And that is how Brett Baty Slayed the Jabowaki, and became prince of Narnia
Who’s Brett Baty?
Lmao😂
Hey Marc, just to tell you when you talked about Ketel Marte at #33 I think on the bottom you put Starling Marte’s 2023 statline instead of Ketel’s statline. 😅
Yeah he did
Hearing Marc rave about a dude with a -0.8 WAR confused the shit out of me lol

I just saw that, I was like “I don’t think that’s number 33 worthy😅”
I love #50, Royce Lewis. Im 100% targeting him in fantasy. Overall I didnt have any huge gripes with the list. Of course some players I thought were too high or too low but thats normal. Great job bro. Also you put up the wrong stats for Ketel Marte. :)

Thank you for doing these every year, Marc! Love your content!
no bo bichette is wild
Had to make room for Brandon Nimmo!
Love and appreciate this series as always mark. You do a big job in growing the game, and I have to tip my cap to you for that. Merry Christmas!!! PS: Julio WILL be top 5 next year.
Julio going to win mvp
As a Blue Jays fan, I can easily see why Vladdy isn’t on the list but how is Bichette not on the list. I know ur probably gonna say it’s because of his Defense but he improved drastically this year. He is just like what u said about Devers where whatever he doesn’t do defensively makes up for at the plate. This guy offensively was incredible. He like never strikes out he always puts the ball in play. I am in shock he isn’t on the list.
Edit: I was not expecting to get this many likes. However, there is something else that I found strange that I want to address. Bichette was on this list in past years and for some reason he doesn’t get put on the list after his best season?
When it reached top 10, I kept waiting to hear Bo Bichette's name. Come on now....
Agreed. I would have BB around 40. Vlad? Hard one with his drop in production last year, honestly not sure where I'd put him.
@@willzsportscardsvlad is better than most of these guys. He still gets pitched to like one of the most dangerous hitter in baseball. I think his weight management has caused problems for his hitting the past few years. When he adjusts he’ll be back to his 900+ ops seasons
“He like never strikes out” do you even watch the games? He strikes out a ton
@@probablysam2744 not really when you compare to league average which is about 25% he was at a career low last year of 19% which is decent
Thanks man look forward to this series every year
“And that’s why despite not playing last year, Edwin Diaz is the best closer going into 2024.”
Oh wait…
I love Frankie Lindor. He’s so fun. A 6.0 war last season? Damn.
I like that you included Adley, and Michael Harris too. Totally agree
Shout out to you for admitting you were wrong about Ozzie Albies. Guy’s a killer
he underrated all the braves and i hate the braves lol
New to the channel but glad I found it for Christmas! Love all of these
Great job putting these together, Marc! 2-4 is very tough. You could argue any of em
Dodgers
#1 Ohtani
#3 Betts
#7 Freeman
#39 Smith
When you add the upgraded pitching staff with Yamamoto, Glasnow & Buehler. I'm feeling pretty good about 2024.
I honestly think Matt Olsen is a bit underrated in this vid but if he does something similar next season then I’m sure he will move up a good margin. On a different topic! JRod is quite a bit to high on this list. He’s great and I love him too it’s just he hasn’t shown the highs that a lot of people behind him on the list have. He hasn’t shown the same consistency Either only being in the league for 2 years now and having a down first half this last season. And that’s why Francisco Alvarez will be a top 50 player next year. ….. this isn’t a joke….. and I’m a braves fan.
It’s Olson my guy.
i think marc ranked Jrod so high is because of what he showed in the 2nd half of the season
the entire braves team slugged better than j rod
Julio was arguably the best CF in baseball in 2023. 30 30 season with Gold Glove defense in CF is not as common as people seem to think it is. Judge will never be a true CF in my book. Lacks the range of a true CF
He said it when he was talking about Harper.. he really does think Harper/olsen will finish top 10.. it’s just the way he does the rankings., I’m pretty sure he values the “athletic” positions at a higher value than just hitting alone
Banger Marc, good to see Cole, Soto, and Judge in the Top 20 🔥
Great rankings Marc keep up the good work
Final Day! Top 50 Players in the MLB (I don’t agree with a lot) but here you go for the last time
Biggest Rise: Luis Robert Jr: 48 to 20 (28 spots)
Biggest Drop: Paul Goldschmidt 9 to 42 (33 spots)
Lots of BIG differences and those are the biggest. Hope I helped you with this information over the last 2 weeks and I’ll see you next year! Merry Christmas!
Thanks! Merry Christmas
Actually, likely the boggest drop off is guerrero jr. he said in a comment reply that the last spot was between Kim & Lewis. Then he also ranked Walker over Guerrero. Which means he is at best 53(which is a 33 drop) and id assume guys like Bichette/Swanson are above him
Austin Riley deserves to be higher but as a Braves lifer I’m obligated to say that. Ohtani may or may not be better than Acuna. Entertaining as always brother. Keep it up. And that is why….lol.
Hey Mark, I'm a Cubbies fan, I was curious where you think, roughly, the next cubs player is outside of the 50. I know we are more of a solid lineup that doesn't have as many superstars, but I'm curious where you would put a Justin Steele, or Dansby Swanson, or even Nico Hoerner. Thanks! Love the content, keep it up
Thank you for showing so much respect for the players on a team you hate, the Braves. I was starting to worry that you might have overlooked Austin Riley, but then you got to the top 15. 😁
I pretty much agreed with your picks. I'm pretty biased as a Braves fan, but overall it was a great season and I appreciate all your work.
Thank you!
You can hear the pain in his voice !
“And that’s why despite already being retired, Jabari Blash is the best player in baseball”
Good rankings Marc. I think K-Tuck is the most underrated player in the league. Idk why Astros players don’t seem to get the recognition they deserve but I think this dude has all the makings of a future hall of famer. Only 26 years old too
Bravo dude. Thank you for all your hard work. Piece and blessings to your channel. Because you were a met fan. How near Sited Of me.😂😂😂 If I haven't said it before now I will you are second to none bravo. Keep doing what you doing. Bless you in the new year and much success.
It would be cool to see a top 50 for some random year from the past (ex. 1993) 🤔
Love how he put up Starling Marte stats for ketel marte and thought we wouldn’t notice
Was just about to comment this
Literally didn’t even realize, my brain is broken hahaha
😂😂😂
heres where tha mets bias always shows up 😂
@@GiraffeNeckMarcyo no Bo bichette is a little crazy isn’t it? 4.9 war with hitting over 300 and 20 bombs playing better d then he has before
really enjoyed the video. great job!
let’s go marc love watching these every year brother
Personally, I think it's time to start dropping Trout in the rankings. Last full season was 18 or 19 (not counting 2020 though he played a "full season"). He's not getting younger and his inability to be on the field has to be taken into consideration. Would like to see him stay healthy, especially with a freed up DH spot, but it's just going to be harder and harder for him to put up top 10 numbers
Having him top 5 was absolutely insane. No GM or manager is taking him over any of the top 10 even if it was just about one year
He’s falling off. He’s probably going to drop to top 35 by next year.
Snell slept on even after winning his second Cy Young.
Imagine if he could cut down on his walks
@@tomglavinehof1 At this point I'm starting to believe that his lack of control somehow works in his favor and that he would be a worse pitcher if he changed his approach. Pitchers are obsessed with limiting walks for very valid reasons and he's a total anomaly as a starter and I think hitters don't know what to do with him
One doesn’t simply get lucky in his later 20 starts. He found a glitch and exploited it.
great list, it's tough to do. Expected to see Arozarena on there! And Witt over Gunnar was a bit surprising, love them both though
I think you were a little to aggressive with Bobby Witt, but other than that you made a great list. Loved this series keep up the good work!
You will learn.
William Contreras not in the top 50 is a crime
I love William Contreras! I miss him wearing the Braves jersey! Brewers are so lucky to have him as your everyday catcher.
And that’s why the Mets bench players are the top 3 players in the league
Merry Christmas Mark!
Great list all around. I think u coulda found a spot for arraez but idk who youd take out this list is great. But as a marlins fan watching him do what he does with the bat is special
Idk why...but Ohtani focusing on batting might bring about steroid era numbers😭😭😭😭
As an Astros fan, I agree with Tucker Bregman and Altuve in the top 50 but you absolutely should have included verlander
Sold iiin the postseason, and didnt play well at all compared to his cy young self last year, he doesnt deserve to be in the top 50
Verlander has stared to decline
JV's talent isn't top 50 quality anymore but his experience on the mound and the way he maximizes his experience I think puts him in the top 50 in baseball
@@cartoonclips3711he didn’t play too well with the Mets but he was decent with the Astros. Sure nothing compared to 2022 but it’s hard to beat 1.7 ERA. I think he had a pretty decent follow up season
Any Astro being above Adonis Garcia is blasphemy, Kyle Tucker should be 40-50 at the most
awesome video mate thanks
Great list!
After only seeing Boegarts at 40, if this follows the SS rankings, no Bichette is absolutely wild…..
I think we are gonna see some shifts from #10-20 to top spots definitely! Good list though!
Merry Christmas Marc
Ohtani hasn’t had any protection in the lineup. Can’t wait to see how he does this year in the Dodgers.
I imagine his stealing is gonna shoot up next year too, especially since he doesn't have to pitch
Huh? He’s played with Mike Trout since he started his career. He’ll be incredible, to be sure, but he’s had Trout hitting ahead or behind him him since he joined the league 6 years ago.
@@andrewarnold9751only trout and he can’t stay healthy, now he has mookie and freddie
Picking Othani for being a two way player when he is not going to be one in 2024. This guy can't deny being a Mets fan. Also he is coming back from an injury that very likely will affect his power numbers next year. Acuna will be the MVP again next year. Putting the home run leader at 14 makes these rankings an even bigger joke
@@Gutibra2388 what does Ohtani being number 1 have to do with being a Met’s fan? Most people are predicting that as a one way player next year he’ll he even better because he can focus on just the one thing. But I’m not sure what that had to do with proving he’s a Mets fan. He admits to being one.
I imagine Olson is so low because it was just one season. The guys higher than him have proved it multiple times. If Olson does this again, he’ll move way up the list.
And that’s why Brandon Nimmo will bring about world peace in 2024 and is by far the best player in baseball
Great video bro 🤝🏼
Really good list!!!
Arguing to move Jose Ramirez up a couple spots. Best right hook in baseball since Rougned Odor
That was a straight cross.
And that is why Jeff McNeil is the BEST player in baseball
Im a Twins fan so I love you putting Royce in the top 50
I can’t wait to see which spot Yoshinobu Yamamoto will take next year.
No Bo Bichette is a joke dude is a top 5 SS in baseball but Merry Christmas and love ur content as always also how the heck is Vladdy not on here if Tatis is they have the same potential same stats and Vladdy didnt use PEDs
IDK about top 5 SS.
@@elevatorelliot714 Top 2 hitting SS and improved a lot defensivley
@@elevatorelliot714definitely top 5
@@Toews1247 Seager, Lindor, Witt, and Henderson are all definitely better rn. So at best he’d be 5 but then there’s still Turner and Xander who are right there
@@elevatorelliot714 Bougaerts stank at the plate and Turner is way worse than Bichette defensivley 5
The Adley Rutchman glazing is beyond crazy
He’s a great player don’t get me wrong, but he’s not top 25
Also Tatis didn’t rlly play that great. Idk how he’s 19
not glazing lol
@@toastedbread909 agreed, and Jonah Heim not on the list is crazy
You know you have a good bat and speed when a DH is # 1. Love this series every year! Merry Christmas to all.
1. Lindor
2. Nimmo
3. Edwin Diaz
4. Baty
5. Francisco Alvarez
The only jays player being Gausman and having him below 30 is a crazy list
I can understand not having Vlad on this list after last season, but Bo definitely should have been on here
Not that crazy lol
The jays are actually wildly mid and no one really talks about it
@rthraitor I mean gausman was #2 in pitcher on his pitching list, but then was ranked 34th in this list. If it's for next season, it's crazy to rank people that had down years in 23 on this list, but not rank Bo or Vlad
He was 3rd, behind Cole and Strider.
Mookie Judge and Ronald might as well all hold the #2 spot together
judge is very obviously better than both of them
@@shawndibiase hes not

I'm Japanese. Your videos help me to improve listening to English. Thank you. By the way, you and I met at the City Field on this May when Senga won the game. I hope to meet you again.
Good list marc.
So Yordan can’t be top 10 because he’s a pure DH, but Ohtani is going to be a pure DH in 2024 yet somehow he’s above everyone else (including Judge who’s probably a better hitter than him)???? Makes no sense man
Okay buddy now your stroking it a bit😭
@@aJules07. I’m literally a Yankees fan, I hate the Astros 😭 Yordan deserves better is all I’m sayin
That herman munster lookalike shouldnt even be top 20...runs into walls...loser alert🤣🤣
That's what I'm saying bro. You take the pitching out of ohtani and you get yordan.
I honestly expected Lindor to be ranked higher. As a Braves fan, he's such a beast. MLB is just loaded with talent right now
Respect
It would be interesting to see in the future Spencer Torkelson for the Detroit Tigers on this list if he gets better!
are those starling martes stats for ketel 😂😂😂 merry christmas marc
Man I’m hoping Nolan Arenado bounces back
I think him and Goldy will! Last year was sooo bad it can only get better!!! Let’s Go Cardinals!!!
@@ryanchoate9146 🔥🔥
As a Mariners fan, J-Rod at 10 feels crazy but I love it.
I feel like a few other mariners shouldve been on there too, Like cal or kirby.
Homer glasses
@@poluticonMust not be familiar with Kirby’s game. Cal is a stretch but is still a top 5 catcher.
@@charliesarver and kirby finna be better if he uses that knuckleball
@@liamcorrigan176 Lmao, if Kirby can get his k% a little bit up his upside is the best pitcher in baseball. His control is so freakish I don’t think people comprehend it.
This must have been a tough video for you to make.. with all of those Braves players in the top 50.. I could hear it in your voice the pain talking about them… lol good stuff
Biggest rise: Corey Seager from 34 to 8 (26 spots)
Biggest drop: Paul Goldshmit from 9 to 42 (33 spots)
“And this is why Francisco Lindor is not only the best shortstop in the league, he’s the best player in the league”
Oddly, he likely ranked Lindor too LOW, shockingly. (Put him at 25)
My Top 5 Ohtani Acuna Judge Trout Soto
Did I miss Bo Bichette in your list or did you?
Who do you think he should replace?
@@elevatorelliot714he’s better then Gunnar
@@meadalofhonor1234 I disagree they had around the same OPS while Gunner was better defensively
@@elevatorelliot714Average matters Bo has basically been consistently getting the most hits for years other then I think this season
@@meadalofhonor1234 Average doesn’t matter as much as you think. Average does matter but it doesn’t matter as much as OBP, SLG, and certainly OPS. Because Bo doesn’t walk there SLG and OPS are around the same which means there really isn’t an offensive gap. And Gunner is the better defender
Hey Mark, makes sense but sucks that Vladdy or Bo didn’t make the list, were either of them close?
As a White Sox fan, I really hope we can build around Lou Bob. Has a great glove in the OF and a pretty good bat… been waiting on a season like this from Robert
I feel he gonna leave first chance he get
Matt Olson left the chat
As an Astros fan, Justin Verlander, Yordon Alvarez, and Jose Altuve need to be in the top 50. If even 1 of these players aren’t than this list is wrong
Verlander being top 50 is very bold of you to suggest
Looking pretty good just thought Gerrit Cole would be a bit higher but I understand it isn't a very big sample size.
I think he should definitely be higher lol. Amazing season and he’s been dominant for years now
Can you do a top 50 worst players in MLB so I can see some of my Pirates in a video
Love Ohtani, but no way Ohtani playing only DH is more valuable than Judge playing CF this year.
As a DH he's not better than Acuna or Betts.
What if bro hits 70 HRs this year tho
@@dillonmackay683judge more likely to hit 70
We will see, normally I would agree but being able to concentrate on batting alone and not worry about pitching is a huge deal, he also won't be able to get pitched around with guys like betts and freeman insulating him in the line up. But ya it is unlikely he'll lead war as a DH but who knows.
@@Brett733 I don’t think that will make a difference I would need concrete information that he could be more capable of hitting hr then judge
Give me Judge over Betts and maybe even Acuña. He put up those numbers in a terrible lineup; just imagine what he could’ve put up if he was in a loaded lineup like Acuña was. And I don’t care that he got injured it wasn’t his fault that Dodger Stadium has a bad fence.
Pathetic no brain guy... How was Ohtani at his line up. Not even worth discussing. Your are the worst kind of person who only cares about yourself.
Judge or Acuña? I mean, Judge is pure power but Acuña has the power, speed, SB threat (causes disruption), and his arm keeps base runners honest.
@@jeremiah_12 give me judge all day. Judge is a better hitter and he’s a much better fielder than Acuña with almost the same arms. Also just imagine if judge was in a better lineup with some protection. He’d have insane numbers.
Totally agree with your top 50 for 2024!!! Loved seeing Ronald rise to 2 after his jaw dropping season. His 2023 ranking is history just as head made History !! 40/70 . Dude is from another planet just like number 1 Shotime Ohtani!! Enough said⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
Marc, this was a solid video but I do have an inquiry, my favorite player Randy Arozarena. He just arguably had the best year of fine fine career, but you did not inc,use him in this video, which I think is poppycock. I hope you fix this, or I’ll be sad for the next year. Thank you for your time.
Ohtani, let's go another MVP
Royce Lewis earned that spot
It’s interesting all the focus on individual players in a team sport.
When you said "Please don't trade this guy" talking about Alonso, I laughed you sounded like such a Met's fan at that point. I am sure there are a few arguments, but good list.
Surprising to not see Ha Seong Kim on the list, wonder how close he was to being in the top 50
It was literally between him and Royce
@@GiraffeNeckMarccuriously, where were Bichette and Guerrero? I personally have Guerrero 45 and Bichette at 34. I think you undervalued bo’s defense, he was actually average at worst this year and seems to have been making constant improvement year over year
He also decreased his errors from 23 in 2022 to 8 in 2023. If devers makes the list then bo should make the list
@@benjaminnie3162 exactly, Bichette was a league average at worst defender last year, with his offense, if a guy like Turner makes it, Bichette should make it
who?
I don’t get why Ohtani is 1 and Alvarez is 11 when he said yordan was at the 11 spot because he is a DH, but Shohei is too
Because Ohtani somehow just gets better year after year. Like wth, where is the ceiling.
Because Ohtani pitches

@@Deerjason I do not care. Ohtani not being 1 would actually be ridiculous
Mike Trout is awesome..!!! BUT ....how many games did he sit out becuase of his injury last year and you have him in the top 5...?? I know you don't like Atlanta...but you can't deny Ozzie Albies....and All star ...maybe I missed him in the top 50 ....if I did ....sorry for the comment....but I didn't disagree with to much of your list....looking forward to starting the season on Sunday ....can't wait ..!!! :D
Imagine if Arenado had a down season that he wasn't a finalist for the Gold Glove for the first time in his career.
Acuna is my #1.
Harper at 16 WTFFF, maybe the best hitter in baseball
Harper should be higher, but he is NOT the best hitter in all of baseball...
Bo Bichette has similar numbers to Bogaerts even a higher WAR at the same position but isn't on the list. Has greatly improved his defense as well. No love for Canada
seager is a top 5 player in the league but i think for the most part most guys are around where they should be, anyone have some hot takes for the 2024 season??
