Fallen off the list from 2023:
#50 Justin Verlander
#49 George Springer
#45 Jeff McNeil
#44 Wander Franco
#43 Will Smith
#41 Byron Buxton
#39 Xander Bogaerts
#38 Max Scherzer
#37 Brandon Woodruff
#36 Brandon Nimmo
#35 Shane McClanahan
#28 Carlos Rodon
#25 JT Realmuto
#16 Sandy Alcantara
#12 Carlos Correa
#9 Jacob deGrom
This is the analysis I needed
6 of those almost all because of injury
@@noahepstein5090and Wander Franco because… well you know
will smith is the biggest snub of this list
Bogaerts being left off is kinda interesting
Requested the day off so that I could watch the Foolish 50, and my boss said that I never have to come into work again 😀 thanks for your help Bailey 👍
Subtle, yet brilliant. LMK if you need work!
500 iq move
The only way tryt
Based (get it? Baseball pun? Ok I’ll go now)
@@MovingBlanketStudio is this an open invitation?
“He hit 24 homers and 1 Tim Anderson” had me rolling 😂
this is why we love bailey
Tatis crashing his motorcycle into a pile of steroids got me good too
22:35 😂 it is gold
@@moistnar18:01 also gold
It was the gambling line about Ohtani for me😂😂
"Crashing a motorcycle into a pile of steroids" never change 😂
I feel like Jose Ramirez has been the 11th best player in baseball for like 5 years now
He has, cause he’s just great at everything and consistent, so all the down years drop under him and all the huge years rise over him i guess lmao. But ur right it feels like hs always 11
Not 5 years, 7 years.
Jose Ramirez is goated, he took a huge discount to stay in Cleveland. Only making 17 million this year… feels like the guardians are stealing from him
Not anymore lol
@@quaidwilburn9373 wdym
And that's why Edwin Diaz is the #1 ranked player in-
Whoops wrong channel
Lol

In order to get to 50, you have the 26 Mets players, plus the best player on 24 of the other 25 teams not named the Phillies, Braves, Nationals, or Marlins. My guess on the excluded team would be either the Yankees, Giants, or Cardinals.
This stupid bodybuilder
Wow. I did not expect to see Kim Ha-Seong to not only take up every spot in your top 10, but also be your favorite for the NL MVP. Bold take, even coming from one of his biggest fans.
"Fabled Chad plate appearer" is my new favorite way of referring to a hitter
It’s a reference to baseball bits’ “Chad Innings Eater”
literally just luis arraez
Forgot Jung Hoo Lee at 1 I'm afraid
Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jung Hoo Lee, Yariel Rodríguez, Matsui and Shota Imanaga are not here because they didn't play last year.
New Jersey Legend Jung Hoo Lee
Kerry Carpenter number 1 wow Bailey you are so smart
Didn't have a "No More Parties in LA" reference on my Foolish Bingo card today
seems like a kanye fan, going back to “Here’s Another Hit, Barry Bonds” being the header for a graphic in Bonds in 4
@@tubbyidk1474you don’t really have to be a Kanye fan to know either of those songs
@@CStheoneandonly yea u do, only kanye fans know about barry bonds
@@CStheoneandonlythere's no reason to have multiple references of Ye unless u at least tolerate his music
teams without players here: A’s, Tigers, Marlins, Nats, Reds, Pirates, Rockies
Elly please 🥲
If only Alcantara were healthy...
@@peterstedman6140if Elly can improve and get back to how he was during his monstrous first few months he’ll no doubt be on the list next year. I like the dude a lot, he’s a 22 or something year old who doesn’t look a day over 40, what’s not to like?
@@BendyDHmonstrous first month. He was good the 21 games he played in June when he debuted but was pretty bad thereafter from July-September.
Great to see Bailey posting to his third channel again. :)
Fun fact: Buttercup Dickerson had a 6 hit game.
I would love to see where you found this info, because I've done some digging and so far have been unable to confirm it
@@dominicpancella3012 Wikipedia list of baseball single hits leaders or something like that, he did it in 1881. This info can also be found on baseball almanac.
@@dominicpancella3012 June 16, 1881 for the Worchester Ruby Legs vs. the Buffalo Bisons. Perhaps you were looking at the 21st century's new Buttercup Dickerson instead of the 19th century OG version.
the ha seong kim phobia is crazy
Even the official mlb listed him on no.81 😂😂 a legit 5 war player on 81 is crazy
22:36 absolutely terrific joke
I had almost given up hope of getting this video
"He was given the physique of Prime Albert Pujols but just wanted to be Dustin Pedroia"
“Crashing a motorcycle into a pile of steroids” is one of the Foolish quotes of all time
I swear I have been waiting forever for this. It will be interesting to see Gerrit Cole's ranking, if he's ranked at all that is, since he is gonna be on the IL to start the season for 1-2 months.
I wouldn’t put him on this list at all. Not sure he’ll have enough time to accrue WAR and counting stats.
He’s at 50
Nola, Fried, Goldie and Swanson are all quite low on this list and can see all of them having significantly better than average seasons, and I say that as a Mets fan…
@@vtvt0133my thing is that Cole is so good he could very well be top 50 while missing 2 months
@@java8619 agree, but he would need to come back strong, which is certainly possible, and I am hopeful for.
Wasn’t expecting a blonde boys reference, made me very proud
William Contreras in the top 40 and Will Smith not on at all is an absolute crime Bailey
Cuz Wild Bill is a G and Will Smith isn’t
@@justintemprano5875 Got no beef with Contreras really but he had one good year, and that year isn't as good as either of Smith's last 2. Math aint mathin
Corey Seager being a top five player in the game is a world I love living in
Get used to it. Ohtani's gone, it's Seager's league now.
He's been elite for 5+ years now. He's just now getting credit for it. Especially now that Bellinger and him are on different teams.
I love these main channel video premieres Bailey!!!
no Ha-Seong Kim and no Snell is kinda wild Bailey, I guess we'll see
yknow i didnt expect you to put yourself at #34 as a dh but honestly, you made some valid points. rooting for ya this season!
We should have seen this coming, Bailey's xSubs and XWOBACON (quality of content) point to a breakout
Top 10 in Great Piece of Hitting and Great Piece of Pitching.
“Boy Zach Wheeler is good. should he be higher on this list? Am i dumb? Am i big dumb dumb” … chuckled loudly after that one 😂
Love these main channel videos, keep up the great work 👍
Splitter go BRRRRRRR is the kind of analysis we need
i really like this channel, i'm getting back into baseball and your commentary this video really helped get me caught up. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for including Trevor Bauer as an honorable mention! I think people are overlooking his stellar performance against Dodgers minor league players a couple weeks back
Also Yankee misfits in Mexico
Another great main channel video! Keep it up!
Seattle doubled the number of players on the Foolish 50 (it’s now two)
judge at 1 is so real
I’m a firm believer in Bo Bichette Crash Theory. This is the idea that you can’t sustain a .360 BABIP, K/BB ratio above 5:1 and linearly declining power for more than three seasons before the bottom falls out of the tub. It was formerly known as Tim Anderson Theory, and before that the Law of Juan Samuel.
Bichette has reached his allotment of three such seasons and will thus see a dramatic fall from grace in 2024.
24:09
“Ohtani needs to work on his gambling issues this year.”
Bailey knew…. Somehow he knew!
The video just came out, days after the whole ippei situation. So yes, he knew?
the fact this comment got so many likes reassures me that people on this page are as dumb as rocks and that’s why a lot of their opinions suck
So glad to see another great video on the Foolish main channel!
This video is an excellent addition to the main channel
Luis Castillo not making the list but George Kirby does, interesting take.
Where is Ozzie, he hit .280 with 30+ HRs, 100+ RBIs, .849 OPS, .510+SLG, and a .336 OBP
He's predicting their outcome in 2024 not using their outcome in 2023
Ozzie never gets any love man. Not only is he the most lovable dude In baseball (ok, maybe tied with Freddie the traitor), he also loves fish. I live in close enough proximity to him that I’ve seen his tanks a few times, and he’s as cool a person as you could hope to meet.
Oh yeah, he’s also a world class athlete. History will remember him in more ways than one, and I’m happy to have him around.
Im happy to see Judge still recognized as the best player in the league. I do think you're selling him a bit short as a hitter by considering guys beneath him as better hitters with holes in their game.
I do think that Shohei deserves a top 5 spot though, even without throwing a pitch.
This is clearly Braves bias on the part of Bailey. How else can you possibly explain Bailey accurately reflecting reality by putting so many Braves on the list? /s
Been waiting PATIENTLY for this
🔥🔥 Great list as always!
Bro i needed this a week ago before my fantasy draft
So glad to see you owning up to your snubbing of Logan Webb from last year's list Bailey. Also the Ohtani gambling comment was brilliant
Great list and great one liners. Never change lol
Needed this about 2 weeks ago for my draft 😂😂
Always love these. Great to see you respect Lindor with that ranking he’s really earned it. That Tatis line got me🤣
"until morale improves", made me think of that spoof Andrew Luck civil war twitter account - great stuff.
MLB teams by amount of players on the list:
ATL: 7
PHI, HOU: 4
LAD, NYY, TEX, TOR: 3
STL, ARI, NYM, SDP, SEA, BAL: 2
CHC, KCR, MIL, CHW, MIN, SFG, CLE, LAA, TBR, BOS: 1
OAK, COL, DET, WAS, MIA, PIT, CIN : 0
3 for BAL - Henderson, Rutschman, Burnes
@@jfmatt8067 good catch
always good to see another video on bailey's main channel
13:25 - BlondeBoyz reference. Cyndago is still alive
Betting on Judge to stay healthy is kinda wild and Acunas season is more repeatable additionally the on base value from Acuna makes up for any defensive slack.
glad to hear you recognize whomps per whiff as a real stat
i think you nailed it this year pending any more injuries. i think mookie at short is gonna be disappointing until at least mid season. it’s funny considering the elite defenders theyve had at that spot and just let em go lol
Witt might have been the first Royal on the 50 but next year don’t be shocked if there are 3. Witt, Ragans, and Pasquantino all on the 50 next year
"The Atlanta Braves will continue appearing on this list until morale improves."
Preach brother.
13:24 this Blonde Boys Cyndago reference made my day. thank you foolish
Amazing as always
We love our high OBP catchers!
Like the list. Surprised Snell didn’t make it
Great list. I feel like this is the year for Pablo Lopez to really come in to his own as an elite pitcher.
oh boy i'm always so excited to watch some content on Bailey's main channel
Wow! So happy to see Orlando Arcia get the recognition he deserves in the Top 10!
I was pleasantly surprised when Édouard Julien was ranked ahead of him
Bailey: Now you know who my number 1 player is
Me: Finally Tommy Edman is getting the respect he deserves
Very nice of Bailey to give us another video on the main channel
I loved this main channel upload
Wow actually including Adolis Garcia is bold, but I like it. Even discounting what he said in the video, Adolis is also surrounded by the absolute best lineup that he ever has and hes almost surely going to *need* to score to win with the “meh” pitching of the rangers. Hopefully he should benefit from the rangers lineup and the absolute hell that is seager-semien-langford-lowe-carter tearing it up, but who knows. Even as a ranger fan I might not be convinced that he puts up a WAR in the top 50 again, but hopefully the consistency and improvement in the rangers dugout push him even further.
I’m glad Bailey’s main channel is doing well 👍
Also. Buttercup Dickerson.
Love the Kirby at 39 ❤️
Gleyber Torres snubbed, u will regret this
This is a great main channel vid
Bobby Witt proved me wrong. I really wasn’t sure. Didn’t think he could hit enough. I was wrong. Hopefully he keeps it up cuz he’s fun to watch play
"He hit 24 homers and 1 Tim Anderson" is an all time line
“He hit 24 homers and 1 Tim Anderson” 😂
Can’t wait to see a bunch of these comments getting flamed when Bailey reviews his rankings after the season
8:23 did not see that reference coming, honestly thought you listened to classical music or something like that
Good list overall, I think Ozzie Albies deserves to be there, but the walk rate hurts him.
I feel like the Austin Riley ranking will either be a kick in the ding dong or will make Bailey look like Nostradamus…there is no in between.
Searched the channel earlier today because I was like “haven’t seen the foolish 50 yet this year”
“Well now you know who number one on this list is gonna be”
“Ernie Clement” they all say in unison.
I love ernie
George Kirby mentioned. Monumental W baseball man
No reds, Pirates, A’s, Tigers, Brewers, Nat’s, Rockies. Am I missing any?
10:19 Bubble Butt Sean Murphy 😂
Top tier cyndago reference there Bailey
Lets go Rutsch! Even though i’m generally a Red Sox fan, Rutschman is the first jersey I’ve ever actually bought. He’s my current favorite player not named Ohtani
Freddie freeman weeping openly being something he is known for is perfect and made my day.:0
This list is beautiful. I will say, putting the guy at 20 ahead of the guy at 21 is a slight hot take, but I'll eat my words if 20 guy really pops off again.
24:06 ...Oh ffs
You just know ball Foolish Bailey. It’s beautiful thing to see
Interesting choice of words for Shoheis season 🤔🤔
Im a big fan of the George Kirby love also known as the 2024 Cy Young Winner
BIG shocker for number 1.... and you know what fooly? I agree!
I get why Tarik Skubal wasn't included but I feel like he'll definitely be a player you bring up at the end of the reaction video as someone you should've included.
I don't have many disagreements here. I still think RAJ is more rounded than Judge due to all the base swiping, but, nice list. You're one of the best guys putting out baseball content these days.
A note on Rutschman:
Last year he had the highest called strike rate, with more outside pitches called strikes than any other qualified batter. His plate discipline is elite, but he was unlucky in 2023.
Tuckers 30/30 season came down to the opinion of the official scorer. Inside the park home run or triple? Depends who you ask.
10:40 god that was nasty
That gambling line about Ohtani was insanely smooth and straight poetry 😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
JP Crawford snubbed again
