- Who ya taking? Troy Tulowitzki or Nomar Garciaparra?? Both right handed, power hitting shortstops who were maybe the best in the game during their respective primes...
Well what if I told you that there isn't a right answer... Because by the numbers, these 2 had almost identical careers. Seriously. 44.5 to 44.3 Career bWARs... And whether it's their beginnings, their Primes, or how each of their careers were derailed by injury way too soon, the similarities are a little creepy... But they were VERY DIFFERENT players, picking one of these two? Now that's the challenge!
So buckle up, baseball fans as we walk through and dive into the numbers, the eerie similarities, and their career trajectories! It's....Tulo vs Nomar!
Thank you all! Who are you taking? Nomahhh? Or Tulo??? Let me know in the comments. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE if you haven't!

If NOMAH stayed healthy, he would’ve been a Hall of Famer no doubt in my mind. That three homer two grand slam game he had against the Mariners in 99 is still one of the greatest games by a player ever.
IF my lottery numbers hit i’ll be a millionaire….
its name isnt nomah
Great video. Nomar was an absolute monster at the plate when he was healthy. What doomed him was that wrist injury he got in 2000 after being HBP on his wrist. That injury never truly went away. Even though he was able to get back to producing for several years after, it zapped him of some of his power and kept being aggravated. I think all baseball fans (and Red Sox fans in particular) got robbed of seeing one of the best hitters of all time thanks to that one injury.
I watched it he is 1000% correct never had same hand speed he noticeable change his approach an swing after this.... he still was a above average batt which is truly incredible... but before that only aqulinea lopes an God could get him out. He once hit a hr on a slider that was clearer going to hit him. Best hands I've ever seen quicker inside on fastball then Tony Manny An maybe even Jim Rice.. teddy ballgame may be only other person to have that kinda plate coverage an power
I got season tickets 2010 Rockies. Tulo had an awesome stretch that season, Cargo, and Uboldo!
Keep uploading and grinding. Seems that CZcams is tossing you into the algorithm more, now. Good stuff. Glad your channel was dropped in front of me.
Is this a joke? I’m a Yankee fan. Saw every second of Nomar’s career. The man is a baseball legend. Even if history won’t remember. The fans will never forget. Nomar is an icon.
In my opinion Nomar from 1997-2003 was very impressive in the six seasons he was healthy before his second injury (which in my opinion ended his prime).
He’s essentially a peak player without longevity. Similar things could be said about Tulowitski.
In both cases, they should be considered players who could have been consensus Hall of Famers without injuries, and in my opinion deserve to make the ballot and get 5% at least once.
there is nothing tragic about professional athletes who have received a hundred million dollars who got or who gets hurt. players not winning champioships isnt possible or capable of being tragic
Yo good stuff keep up the work
Hey man, shocked to see that I’m one of your first 1000 subscribers. Looking forward to watching this channel blow up 🤘 keep it up
Thanks so much @yerts! You are too kind; very grateful to have ya aboard! Cheers! ✌🏻
Love to see a nee high-quality baseball channel. Keep it up!
Loved the video. Earned yourself a subscriber :)
Nomahhh my favorite player all time
great video man, quality level feels like a channel with 100k+ subscribers. keep grinding out these vids and they'll keep finding new baseball fans like myself. got yourself a new subscriber with this vid. also, gotta love nomar! nomar over tulo any day lol
I got Nomar but it’s very close
Great video love the content
Would’ve been nice to have the healthy 97-03 version of Nomar for the Cubs in his 2 year stint. Add a healthy 03 version Prior and Wood and 04-06 would’ve been less traumatic.
yo great job on this video. baseball fans are spoiled with great baseball content creators, guess u all are picking up the slack of the major networks lackluster coverage😂
This is good
If both are healthy give me Nomar. Easily a top 10 pure hitter I’ve ever seen in his prime.
Tulo, especially with the DH and looking back he should have moved to 1st/3rd base as early as 2013 - 2014, so he would at least to offset the injury concerns. However especially when he got slower speed wise, I would have preferred if he had been DH'ing instead. But it's all speculation
NOMAR ALLLLLL DAY!
As a Yankee fan I would take Nomah
Im taking defense.. So its troy for me..
John Henry can't even afford the waterboy!!! I'm done with a crappie team!!
Tulo will never get respect cause he hit in Coors.
And it’s not just the ball flying more/the thin air it’s the pitchers stuff not moving as much too.
I'd say Nomar, but he quit on us the day Jeter went into the stands.
