shoutout to the Dodgers for passing on Clemens to take a relief pitcher in the FIRST ROUND
hahahahaha
Dawson Wright that’s wassup
I am heart broke for hearing that
ahhhh ss
@Dawson Wright don’t think for a second that I haven’t noticed the fact that the quality of ur videos has significantly increased. can’t wait for more content my guy ⏰ 🔥
Every team: Mike Piazza
Lol
picked in the 63rd round and a hall of famer
Colby Hunter and just because Lasorda did it as a favor for Piazza’s dad. 😂😂
Piazza wouldn’t have even made it if it wasn’t for Lasorda, I bet that’s what mad Piazza so great, he wanted to strive to prove the whole MLB wrong. He took every chance he could to make it.
You could easily point to every team passing on Piazza, or Greg Maddux, or Albert Pujols numerous times, or any HOFer who was not a first round pick. But that's not the point of this exercise.
Man Frank Thomas and Chipper Jones in the middle of a line up would have been murder.
I’m not even a braves fan but that would have been sickening to witness in the 90s
And Atlanta STILL would have blown the WS.. Most overrated team in the Majors....
Kershaw doing bad in high school playoffs? Where have I heard that before?
Oooooooooof
Damn, you beat me to it
🤣🤣
Nice pfp
He's also got a mental block against any batter wearing a Cardinals jersey. Idk what it is, but even the subpar teams we've had that last few years eat his lunch.
Fun update: Mark Appel actually made his debut this year with the Phillies and pitched 10 innings in relief work. I belive he was released anyway but still he finally made the dream happen.
He still on the Phillies roster in the minor leagues, he made his MLB debut on June 29,2022, 0-0 record 1.74 ERA 5 strikeouts that’s his current stats
That _is_ a fun update.
In 1968, the Houston Astros had the third overall pick and took a catcher from Buffalo NY named Martin Cott. Cott never reached the majors. The New York Yankees had the fourth pick and they, too, took a catcher. This one was from Canton, OH and his name was Thurman Munson. The Astros had the first overall pick in 1992 and one of their top scouts *pleaded* with the top brass to select a kid named Derek Jeter. Houston took 3B/OF Phil Nevin instead, thinking the college prospect would be easier to sign and couldn't use college as leverage. The scout that wanted Jeter resigned. If an infield of Altuve, Bregman, Correa and Kris Bryant seems formidable, how about an infield of Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Ken Caminiti and Derek Jeter?
Jeter could count as a miss for the Astros as well. They had the number one pick in that 92 draft and they passed on him for Phil Nevin.
Rumor has it Jeter wanted 750 grand and Astros would only go 700 and a top Astros scout quit after passing him up. Even funnier would be Jeter going 3rd to Montreal.
HOFer and scout Hal Newhouser told them Jeter was the best player in the country and to draft him and after they took Nevin, Newhouser quit.
The Giants passed on Sabathia due to "weight concerns". And later would sign Pablo Sandoval not once, but twice.
Different management at the time..
Thrice, now haha
Oh god I wouldn’t be alive if the Cards took Utley
🤣🤣🤣
You’re 12 and you know this? Weird
Andrew Bees still got to see him play for a bit
Can you imagine a prime chase utley playing in St. Louis on those 2007-2011 teams Jesus Christ
I still can't believe we drafted Beckham over Posey, massive L
Especially a team that can build such a great farm system too
you’re the gm?
Lmao what up Kolt
Dioner Navarro at the time was an All Star catcher for the Rays in ‘08 and they felt he was the catcher of the future.
Taking a college catcher wasn’t the biggest priority of need.
Thank you!
11:43- “The Yankees rarely miss with their draft picks!”
Me: *Laughs in Brien Taylor*
I believe true yankee fans try to forget that lol
That’s 1... we’ve also got guys like Derek Jeter... but angels fans... so I guess I’ll forgive you
Anthony Baratta oh I’m not an Angels fan. That was my semi-pro team cap. I’m actually an Orioles fan. Which is worse... so much worse 😂
Tracy Hudson oh wow... yeah... I’m actually from Maryland... so I apologize for the misconception... my dad is from Jersey so my bedtime stories were all Yankees stuff... I did meet Cal Ripken Jr. once... nice guy
He might have turned into a good major leaguer but he got into a bar fight and hurt his shoulder.
As a Rays fan, I knew Buster Posey would be our mistake lol
Not only did the Braves miss out on Frank Thomas, but he also missed out on them. He was definitely one of the greats, and deserved to make the playoffs more than just 3 times. Playing for Atlanta would've assured that.
honeslty ever since the new dodger's ownership, own farm system and draft picks have been getting better and better every year
Facts
Kershaw struggled in a high school playoff game? I guess some things never change
💀💀💀
Still a top 10 pitcher of all time
And now a champ
That aged poorly
You can officially delete this comment as Clayton Kershaw is no longer the postseason choke artist he is made out to be!
The Yankees lost the draft pick they could have used on Trout because they signed Teixeira. However, Teixeira helped them win the 2009 World Series. The lost draft pick was the penalty.
This list is exactly why you always go best available and not based on immediate team need, especially in baseball.
Imagine Luis Robert Eloy Jimenez and Mike Trout in the same outfield 😭😭😭
😳😳😳
Plus Tatis Jr at short.
That would never even possible. I’m fairly certain that Trout would have done quite well and their record would have played out to get an even lower # pick with some other franchise staking their claim for Trout. So no.....I cannot image that scenario....at all. Thanks for playing though.
@@OlinKreutzRules It isn’t out of the realm of possibility, Luis Robert was picked up as international free agent, and Eloy was traded for Quintana (signed as a free agent after being cut from two teams). Yes it is, unrealistic and unlikely, but nowhere near out of the realm of possibility.
The reds did not need Jeter they had larkin
hall of Famer. queen city born and raised. one of the best to ever do it. in fact, in '92 when the reds passed on Jeter, Barry was coming off his 4th straight all star selection, and in the prime of his career. man, I miss reds baseball. this is the weirdest summer ever..
Matt Gibbs Could've played Jeter at 2nd base.
they were considering putting Jeter in the outfield if they drafted him
It usually takes years for even top prospects to make it. You don't draft for need.
@@TheSpiderTre if that happened we wouldntve had the Jeter throw
"Passing on [Roger Clemens] the greatest pitcher of all time"
well the steroids definitely helped.
Yeah I was gonna say, I don’t think he’s held in that high regard anymore.
Nolan Ryan is the greatest pitcher of all time.
@@bananaman4589 Randy Johnson was better
Um, no. The Diamondbacks had the chance to draft MIKE TROUT with the 16th pick in the 2009 draft. WE COULD HAVE HAD MIKE TROUT. That's our most painful mistake.
As an orioles fan who watched both our 2014 and 2016 teams fail because of starting pitching, the Lincencum/Scherzer one hurts a lot
I'm with you on that and who knows how the Orioles would have done if they had drafted Scherzer and kept Arrietta and he pitched to his potential
9:12 look at the dodgers man, so inspirational😭
Us mariners fans just neeeeeeed something to cheer for
Your boys need some wins - I agree. I want to see y'all win a World Series. Love, an A's fan.
You are a top ten team that has been no hit in the last 2 years
Y’all have like the best future in the league
You had it 2001 ichiro Griffey I can go on
You guys haven’t lost a game yet
I doubt the Royals 2011 draft is something they want to remember either, Bubba Starling! They left Rendon, Lindor, Baez, Springer and Fernandez on the board
Wow what a great video. I thought it was going to draft busts not missed picks. You had a better idea and a more difficult theme to research. Thanks.
The Mets mistake has to be passing on Reggie Jackson to draft Steve chilcott
Nailed it
Dawson Wright being a mets fan turns out to be good finally
Haha
Arizona State standout Reggie Jackson was considered the best amateur ballplayer in the country heading into the 1966 Major League Baseball draft. The team picking first that year was the lowly, awful New York Mets.
According to Jackson’s new tell-all, “Becoming Mr. October” (Doubleday), in which he details feuds and resentments toward his old Yankee teammates, the New York media and especially his old manager Billy Martin, the only reason he did not become a Met was because his girlfriend, Juanita Campos, was Hispanic.
Jackson recalls how his coach at Arizona State, Bobby Winkles, broke the bad news.
“A day or two before the draft, Bobby Winkles sat me down and told me, ‘You’re probably not gonna be the No. 1 pick. You’re dating a Mexican girl, and the Mets think you will be a problem,’ ” Jackson writes. “ ‘They think you’ll be a social problem because you are dating out of your race.’ ”
Jackson was especially baffled because he’s part Hispanic - his grandmother is from Puerto Rico and his middle name is Martinez. But that didn’t matter, even to the perennial cellar-dwelling Mets.
“No, you’re colored, and they don’t want that,” Winkles said.
@@Jose_Hunters_EWF_Remixes That's wild considering NYC is the most ethnically diverse city in the US if not the entire world.
Honorable mention, though he was mentioned for the Orioles, Tim Lincecum getting picked 10th by the Giants also followed his hometown team the Mariners taking Brandon Morrow from UC Berkeley.
Concerning the Blue Jays; I know that they were one of the many teams that passed on Mike Trout; there was a Sports Illustrated story on that very issue.
Think trout was the only player to turn up to the actual live draft and was sat there watching team after team pass him up he sure showed them all up
The Angels were going to draft Mike Trout with the 24th overall pick, which was their own, but since the pick they got from Teixeira was consecutive to theirs, they drafted their second choice, Randall Grichuk, before Trout in order to knock Trout’s slot value down and make him an easier sign.
People act like if the Yankees never went after Mark Teixeira that the Yankees would have drafted Trout. That’s simply not the case.
This dude called Roger Clemens “The Greatest Pitcher of all time.” Bruh, do you even baseball?
I mean, you could make the argument. I dont think that he is myself, but I could see why someone could.
One of the best, sure. The best, nah...
He got a thumbs down from me for that comment lol
@@Jacobthekid28 totally agree
@@bidenistrash6574 Personally, I think that Pedro Martinez is the best starting pitcher of all time. I get that he obviously doesn't have the career value that other guys in his era do like Clemens, Maddux, or Johnson but Pedro's peak is probably the best ever.
Damn I want drink what this guy is drinking to be calling Rodger Clemens the goat 😂👌🏻
Good vid. David Cylde is a hell of a story. Seasons in Hell by Mike Shropshire is a great book about him and that era of Rangers. You should do a vid on the 90s Mets never being able to make it past the Braves, and the dominance of John Rocker.
Well I’m a Met fan, the Mets fell from their throne in the 90’s, we were losing great players
@@davidward9733 Err, no. The Braves had one of the greatest pitching rotations in baseball history: Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz & Avery.
@@soupdragonuk Don't forget the braves had some great offensive players. Pendleton, Justice, Gant, Klesko, Lopez, both Jones, Mcgriff, Galaraga, Giles, ...
@@jmillshobbies6344 Indeed. Chipper's addition to the squad made one hell of a difference. When Andruw was patrolling CF he was like a god.
"Roger Clemons- greatest pitcher of ALL time..." ??? that's the funniest sh*t I've ever heard... 🤣
Nolan Ryan ....Hold my beer
As a Pirates 2004 draft pick, this list is hilarious. Lincoln was only ok and they only drafted him because he didn't need as large of a signing bonus.
Lincoln cum Travis Snider, cum Steve Brault is better than a lot of picks. Neil Walker was 2004 1st rounder, Lincoln 2006
Although there was no draft then, the Cubs passed on Joe DiMaggio in the 1930s.
The Cardinals passed on Yogi Berra, a native St. Louisan, and instead signed his best friend and neighbor Joe Garagiola.
I think DiMaggio got injured and the other teams passed on him. The Yankees realized he was the best minor leaguer injured or not.
@@df5295 you are right. They were too worried about his knee and passed on him. It certainly benefitted the Yankees.
Got to see Jared Mitchell play on Independent ball when he played the New Britain Bees. Bet nobody knows what team that is
Max C I work for the Somerset Patriots
He was a beast at LSU. It sucks injuries hampered his pro career, because he had the talent to play in the big leagues.
Getting Mike Trout is a blessing
Overrated Trout is overrated
I still have dreams about what David Clyde could've been had he actually gotten a change to develop.
The Rangers might actually have become a real franchise. If there was a need to shrink the number of teams and you went solely on team performance the Rangers are gone. Outside of about 5-6 good years they historically are out of contention by April 15.
Definitely not a disaster. A high school legend done in by the Rangers rushing him.
You’re damn right it is June which mean Flight Take over 💪
FTC
I wish the Nationals would have picked Bumgarner. Speaking as a Royals fan, 3 WS looks much better than 2.
Still think the yankees would picked the signing of Teixeira and win the world series than drafting anyone with the 25th pick in the 09 draft
It's crazy to think that Max Scherzer and Tim Lincecum were drafted the same year yet Max is still pitching well while Lincecum hasn't been in the league since 2016.
LOL @ Roger Clemens being the best pitcher of all time. I’ll take koufax, Nolan Ryan, randy Johnson, Bob Gibson, Greg Maddux, and Clayton Kershaw over him and I’m probably missing a few
Steve Carlton.
Lol Kershaw was a choke artist in high school too.
Every October that scout is telling his family “see there! Look I told em he wasn’t worth pickin’”
Kershaw's resume says otherwise, one of the best pitchers if not the best in the last decade, one of the best lefties in history, 3x cy young, MVP, low career era under 3, 3 times he had his era under 2, Future Hall of famer. I bet the pirates are dumb to pass on him.
@@kevindodgersguerra2927still a chokenartist
I got to see Trout play for the Arkansas Travelers. I knew he was gonna be good.
you should do a list of best players each team drafted, but failed to sign. Like the Jays drafted Bryant deep in the draft , but he went back and was drafted by the cubs 2 years later at second and for actual bonus money. To be fair, i think everyone knew he wouldn't sign, the jays just took a shot..I'm not sure every team has a significant player to list tho.
Was surprised at the Jays with Gooden. Thought it would be Tulo.
"But do to weight concerns the Giants passed on CC sabathia." Yet they drafted Pablo Sandoval
It would have been cool if they got C.C, but hey, I’d say that Sandoval was a good pick.
@@benwise6517 me too but i just don't see the giant's logic here
@@ej3981 Yeah, it kinda slips from time to time. Yet they turn torture into titles.
Pablo was not a draft pick dude, he was an international free agent signee when he was 16 yrs old and was a catcher in the minors and when he first came up.
@@philobeddoe8342 he was still fat and still not in shape so there is not much of a difference but your right
Let's be honest, given their track record with pitcher "development," the Orioles would have screwed Lincecum and Scherzer up anyway, so best to just avoid that
I can’t even imagine how great those Braves teams would’ve been with Thomas. They could’ve been a dynasty. Maybe he was the missing piece that would’ve made them an all time team
If we're talking about all-time, passing on Barry Bonds was easily the White Sox's biggest draft blunder.
Over 20 teams whiffed on Trout. That takes about half the teams of the board right away
As a Mets fan there is a lot to choose from for us lol
Just cause the Yankees would’ve had the pick didn’t mean they’d take trout
@@valonadili7031 True, because their scouting system is ass.
Oriole's fan here, same goes for the O's. For a few decades now the O's haven't really churned out too many draft picks that go on to make it as stars the majors. Or even just as decent every day players for that matter. Our farm system, scouting/drafting, and overall player development have all been garbage for as long as I've been alive. Hope this "rebuild" brings some much needed changes on the field and behind the scenes.
The worse for the Tigers was drafting Matt Anderson #1 overall..
Love how you describe Clemens as the "Greatest Pitcher Of All Time" even though Greg Maddux won more games 😎
I have nightmares about trout getting drafted to the Yankees
THANK GOD!!.. That never happened. From a redsox fan
I don't think it was going to happen, though. I believe I've read in years past that people from the Angels have said they would have drafted Trout if they'd only had their own pick that year.
The Reds were not the only one that screwed up by passing on Jeter....... My neighbor ran a card shop & had a rookie Jeter card that was autographed. Since we lived in Michigan we had all heard of him , but he had not played a game in the MLB yet. He had the card available for sale for 75 bucks. I passed...... That was dumb......
@breadandcircuses8127 I'd hate to look it up..... got to be around 4-5 hundred.
Lmao I live across the street from angel stadium and that intro for them had me dying
Fernandez would probably still be alive if the brewers drafted him
When it's time to die it's time to die.. stupid statement here
@@dwaynehoward240 Not really, Miami gave him easy access to boats, which he eventually lost his life on.
@@DaddyHackAthletics and cocaine
@@DaddyHackAthletics Milwaukee isn’t exactly very far from water either
Meh,...was kind of out of control himself, he though the world had to turn on his account...
If Jason Hayward is Cleveland’s biggest miss, then things aren’t going too bad.
In the 5th round of the 2011 draft, they picked a pitcher from UVA, Will Roberts, who never got AAA. Mookie Betts went 14 picks later.
@@mpc91 5th round is pretty hit or miss tbh. It sucks they missed out on Betts, but it’s not as though he was setting the world on fire as a prospect.
@@medguy12 The entire draft is hit or miss. And this is just one example, by Cleveland or anyone else. This is another "every team's worst mistake" which ignores the vast majority of baseball history.
Betts was just the first name that came to my mind, but I could have gone for 1974, when the Indians took Tom Brennan with the 4th pick, and Dale Murphy went 5th.
Or 1984 when the took Cory Snyer, with Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Al Leiter and Mark McGwire still on the board.
And this isn't to pick on Cleveland, you could do this with every team. Pick a random year, and they're just about always there.
If the Cubs had drafted Ventura, he wouldn’t have charged Nolan Ryan. Worth it? Totally!
If the brewers had Fernandez he never would’ve died. Let that sink in
He still could have gotten high and died in a boating accident on Lake Michigan.
InvisibleTeeth true forgot bout the Great Lakes
Sink in?
@@henrymarks2237 .......Wow.
I knew the Phillies' one had to be Frank Thomas. By the way, they didn't have a shot at local boy Trout because they gave up their first round pick to Seattle for signing Raul Ibanez, and that pick would have been two spots after Trout went anyway.
Oh man not even sure if the 2006 draft was the Pirates worst. You can certainly make a case for the 2002 draft when they were to pick first overall and decided to take Bryan Bullington whom I remember even at the time people said was at best a number 3 pitcher. He had an overall win-loss record of 1-9 with a 5.62 ERA for his career. They passed on Zack Greinke among others to take Bryan.
Bartolo Colon is the greatest pitcher of all time, please get this right in future videos
Funny how the Pirates based their decision on Kershaw in the same situation he notoriously struggled with. Postseason games. Even funnier it’s a situation the Pirates have rarely seen.
Loved the LA Angels introduction. 😅🤣
You have been doing a great job Dawson. My further proof that your generation thinks the world began in 1985 because you seemed you didn't know who "Robin Yu(mumble)" is!
YOW-NT.
I umpired his son at Chaparral HS Scottsdale AZ. Super nice guy! Only two-time MVP at two different positions shortstop and Centerfield and yes before....1985.
My theory proven. There WAS a world before 1985, kiddies.
Man Frank Thomas in Atlanta Fulton county stadium would have been nuts
He might have hit 73 home runs without being juiced.
@Dawson Wright don’t think for a second that I haven’t noticed the fact that the quality of ur videos has significantly increased. can’t wait for more content my guy ⏰ 🔥
4:15 same can be said about the Astros the scout retired after they passed on Jeter
Makes you want to bang a trash can, yes?
Imagine a world where Lincecum plays for the Orioles and Kershaw for the Pirates, what weird world.
Needed Mad Bum, Pirates lost too many playoff games
If Kershaw had played for the Pirates he wouldn't have been Kershaw, the Pirates were notoriously awful at developing pitchers back then and still aren't great.
@@TheShinyFeraligatr Pirates were good at fixing old guys like Burnett and Liriano, but were ass at young pitchers with electric stuff.
I’d make the case that the Tigers not getting Cutch was good bc he would’ve just filled Maybin’s role in the Miggy deal and then it wouldn’t be such a good deal for Detroit since Cutch would’ve planned out
I would offer the 1971 draft as a bigger disappointment for Tigers fans. With the 11th pick that year, Detroit took light hitting shortstop Tom Veryzer. Four picks later, Boston got Jim Rice.
As a Phillies fan for all 67 years of my life, where do I begin? Just recent years....
2016 Mickey Moniak, 1st OA - Passed on Nick Senzel, Ian Anderson and Cal Quantrill
2017 Adam Hasley 8OA - Doesn't matter who we passed on, kinda lousy draft so far
2015 Corneilius Randolph, 10 OA -Passed on Josh Naylor, Walker Buehler, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Austin Riley
2014 Aaron Nola - definite OK on that one
2013 - JP Crewford, 16 OA - Got us Jean Segura but passed on Tim Anderson (next round), Aaron Judge (I33!!!!!)
2012 - Shane Wilson 40 OA and Mitch Gullers 54 OA - Passed on Lance McCullers, (41)
2011 - Larry Greene 39 OA - Passed on Jackie Bradley Jr., Andrew Chafin, Michael Fulmer, Trevor Story, Joe Musgrove, Blake Snell,.
I guess it could be worse....
Over the decades, the Phils made more draft blunders than you could shake a stick at: Jeff Jackson, Trey McCall, Chad McConnell, John Russell, Lebo Powell, etc.
Jays passed on Clemens for Matt Stark.
The Indians choice of Beau Mills over Heyward is even more perplexing because Mills had flunked out of Fresno State and ended up at an NAIA school,a much lower level of competition.During that season he injured his throwing shoulder to the point he wasn't able to really play third base(like his father Brad Mills) anymore.Mills was just another in a series of really bad first round picks by the Tribe in the aughts.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cleveland_Indians_first-round_draft_picks
Damn Kershaw's struggles in the playoff happened in high school sheez...and Trout all those teams that could have had Trout....smh how the hell does a Mike Trout fall into the 20's
Any team that passed on Mike Trout
GamerTag97 all of them
Ryan Carroll trout was picked 25th
And for further context, two teams passed on him TWICE!! Both Washington and Arizona had multiple first round picks and let him slip by.
The Yankees resigned Mark Teixeira but had to give away their draft pick which the Angels used to get Mike Trout.
(Just saying, could’ve put Trout in the yanks jersey like all the others in the thumbnail)
Remember the Angels had the 24th and 25th picks. They took Grichuck 24th cuz he would be cheaper to sign than Trout even tho the angels saw Trout as the better player.
Who originally had that 24th pick? The Mets. They lost that to the Angels by signing K-Rod
As a Mariners fan, I can say getting rid of Adam Jones and David Ortiz (I believe after their rookie seasons) was worse than Tulo. Not by much, but a little.
The Chicago Whitesox, with a pick they got from the NY Mets. Mets loved giving away draft picks back in the day.
The new York yankees could have had mike Lowell but they traded him
Yea but David Wright is better
All teams that passed trout
I'm a Texas Rangers fan and that draft mistake of there's is INSANE.
That's most Rangers drafts. They're one of the worst franchises in all of pro sports. 1996-99, 2010-11, and 2016-17 are aberrations from their normal trends (outside of those years the only other times they were really in contention were 1974, 1993, and 2004).
I can live with Longoria not being drafted because Arenado probably wouldve never been a Rockie
Jayson Heyward, with a mod in his swing, could end up one of the best hitters in the game. He has too many moving parts in his swing.
Wow I wasn’t even subbed and this video only has like 6k views. A pleasant surprise :) Great video.
I’d love to see a video of all of Scott Boris’ busts!!
Funny finding this video after Mark Appel finally did make it to the majors this year lol
We may have missed out on Utley. But we beat the breaks off of philly his entire career there and we won 2 world series and appeared in 4 after he was drafted. So he's truly the one that got screwed. I would have loved to seen him in a cards uniform though.
Please do a video on the pittsburg pirates draft and what if........I would love to see the team they could have had. thank you
The Orioles made a number of bad draft picks, including selecting an overweight HS pitcher Matt Hopgood who never came close to the big leagues, while passing on Mike Trout
Every team in baseball passed on Johnny Bench until the Reds took him in the 2nd round in 1965
14:22 YOU FORGOT TO ADD AN ASTERISK TO THAT PICTURE LOL
Should rename this to Every MLB Teams WORST Draft Misses
🟢 THIS ... was a standout vid, Doss; the RESEARCH ALONE was outstanding, and to see someone your age goin this deep into ball history is really impressive. Excellent work here. Take yerself a bow on this one, good sir. 👏👏👏👏✌️
This video just shows how much of an absolute crap shoot the MLB amateur draft really is. For every top prospect that turns into a star you got 5 more that end up as crap to mediocre major leaguers and 5 more that never even make it to the majors.
The white Sox not drafting Mike trout pisses me off would could be in the playoffs already
