The crazy thing about Judge is that he was one of the unluckiest hitters in baseball last year if you look at the stat cast batted ball data, and he still put up on OPS over 1.000. Dude is an absolute freak
Even crazier? The fact that he was unlucky in his MVP year, as noted by his xWOBA being higher than his wOBA
@@ryanclark1450he was using juiced balls so it evened out
Not in the playoffs but yknow
I’m pretty sure he was the unluckiest
Go Phillies we have it
I’m a Braves fan and Nimmo is definitely my favorite Met. The way he interacted with the fans and kids when I was at Truist last season made me a fan. Pisses me off how he sprints to first when he walks though haha
Marc, please do some research before you say someone is a "product of Coors". Doyle's OPS was over 50 points higher on the road, and he hit .261 with a .752 OPS in September after making swing adjustments. He also has the hardest recorded outfield throw in history
I agree with this take. Marc acts like anyone from the comments could go hit .250 with 20 homers and 60 RBI’s in Coors.
Brenton Doyle will be a star in a few years. He hit a lot better in September when he changed up his swing. And he’s one the best center fielders I’ve ever seen play defense.
It's like a created player with his defense all the way up and you don't have enough for his hitting.. yet lol
Tommy Edman was elite with the glove in CF last year. 5 OAA in 40 games is crazy
Was just about to make this comment. His defensive metrics were absurd in the relatively small sample size in CF.
I can’t believe how good he was last season in CF but he struggled on offense while playing there! I’m still really excited to watch him next Season! Also Victor Scott should arrive this year and everyone is praising him for his elite defense and elite speed I think he has a cannon for an arm too!
Bro plays 2B elite too😂
I agree with the excitement around Alek Thomas that the projections are showing. We got a glimpse in the playoffs and I really believe he has star upside, especially with his glove being so strong already
If judge and seager had kept there production up for a full season this year, the mvp race would’ve been sick
If judge didn’t hurt himself he was on pace for another elite year
Ohtani would have still ended up having an offensively comparable season to Judge and Seager, all while posting a 142 ERA+ and leading the MLB in K/9 and H/9, the race for runner-up would’ve been sick tho
I don’t think so tbh hell judge shouldn’t have even won MVP the previous year in my opinion as long as Ohtani does what he does every season, it’s his MVP until he stops we will not see a player like him again for maybe ever so he should be rewarded for it I know he is not pitching next season so it’s the rest of the leagues chance now
Watching all of these rankings and seeing the stats brings even more into focus how ridiculously historic the Braves offense was. Look at the slugging of all of these players and then think about the fact that the 2023 Braves slugged .500 AS A TEAM. The only team in baseball history to crack .500 as a team.
Time for Center Field!!
Biggest Rise: Cody Bellinger 20 to 7 (13 spots)
Biggest Drop: Byron Buxton 3 to 9 (6 spots)
Wrong. Biggest drop were whoever the blue jays are projecting to have as their centre fielder because they ain’t even on the list. 😂
kevin kiermier maybe? he likely won't come back though @@candian75
13 spot jump is crazy
@@candian75kiermier?
belli should be wayyyyy higher
As a Ranger fan who has seen some terrible seasons it’s crazy that this is the lowest ranking position for them so far and he’s still just above the halfway mark at 15, feels really good to see what a great team we have finally and I’m still on a high from that World Series win.
That's was some great content!!!
I’m surprised at edman at 16, he is a light hit super utility player and is a problem as an everyday player at 1 position. His value is versatility
Yes but this isn't a ranking of most versatile and useful players, it's strictly a ranking of center fielders. As a center fielder, he's about average. As a middle infielder, he's a good bit above average
@@wingracer1614I think he was saying Edman should be lower saying he isn’t good enough to play any one position every day which I disagree with he is one of the best defensive middle infielders in the game
@@lordquenntillieusiii9250 ah yes, you are probably right. And as I said, I think he's well above average as a middle infielder. Maybe not quite Swanson level but not that far off.
Don’t tell me you rather have Brandon over Michael Harris
It’s not a “Who would you rather have on your team” ranking, it’s a ranking for who they are right now. And right now Nimno is the better player.
While I don’t typically agree with Marc all the time, and I don’t think Nimmo has more talent than Harris, he did outperform the latter. I can’t argue about the placement. Literally Judge being considered a CF is the only reason Harris and the rest of the guys got bumped down. Harris will be a Top 2-3 CF for most of his career. He’s only 22. He’s not even at his peak yet.
literally just look at the stats. nimmo clears harris it’s not close
I think at this moment in time, Nimmo over Harris makes sense, but I think the ceiling is higher for Harris. In a year or two, he could break out and hit 30HR with an OPS over 900. He's still so young and has a lot of development ahead of him.
@@bobataco210 True but Harris had a couple small injuries followed by a massive slump to start the year. I'm not sure how to look it up so I could be wrong but I bet if you compare from the point just after Harris got pinch hit for in a close game, he stomped Nimmo statistically after that. That moment not only won the Braves the game, it lit a serious fire under his ass, LOL
I have a feeling Harris is going to have a monster year though it will be interesting to see. I suspect they are going to move him up in the order so he will no longer have Acuña hitting behind him. That could drop his stats a bit instead.
The best list I’ve ever seen.
Thanks for putting some respect on Suwinski's name. I get he's a lower average bat, but I'm constantly arguing with Pirates fans who think he's not a starter. Near 30 HR's with a good on base plays on nearly any team. His problem is that he looks at a lot of called third strikes, he has a pretty good approach at the plate and if he starts swinging at some of those, his numbers can take off further.
I like this series, keep up the good work even though this is coming from a phillies fan.
Tommy Edman criminally underrated (as usual).
I disagree, I definitely think Brenton Doyle can and will develop with the bat.
absolutely not
Pretty spot on Marc!
I hope the White Sox build around Luis Robert and it’ll HOPEFULLY WORK THIS TIME
Love these
Judge #1 I have so much respect for ya Marc
Ask any Mets fan who they’d rather have…
Michael Harris II or Nimmo?!?!
Harris II had back and knee injuries which had something to do with him hitting .174 with just 2 home runs, a 45 wRC+, and .526 OPS through his first 34 games.
From June on he was one of the best hitters in baseball, slashing .326/.352/.535 with a 136wRC+ and .887 OPS to go along with 16 home runs.
His barrel%, exit velocity, max exit velocity, and HardHit% all remained very strong in 2023 compared to 2022. His HardHit% actually went up over 3 percent. Also unlucky as well because only 17 of his 41 barreled baseballs left the yard
Batted .238 against lefties in 2022, he hit .301 against them in 2023 (better than he hit against righties)
Barring injuries he’s gonna have a huge breakout
True true
plus MHII is only 22 rn
Marc, as a nats fan I’m so excited to see crews up, do you think he’s gonna be top 10 center fielderafter his rookie year?
Yankees fan here... I would love to see the Mariners grab Bellinger. Of course they won't because that would require spending money. Something the most profitable team in MLB does not want to do. I loved seeing Cody bounce back! Wouldn't mind seeing him in pinstripes but he will cost too much for the bombers. Especially if we land YOSHINOBU and come to terms with SOTO and a long term deal 😯 the thought of all that money scares me!!! I think Soto is going to have a monster year too!! Stanton will have a bounce back year too, now that he finally realized this off season to calm down with the weights like Judge did a few years ago.
Bro the mariners aren’t spending they been salary dumping all off season smh it’s a hell hole I hate it
@@coolbreeze4249its litterally a chore to be a fan of the Mariners.
@@davidzitterkopf4383 I just want to go outside n play 😤
I’m a Mariners fan and Bellinger is one of my favorite players in all of baseball so I’d love to see it happen, but I doubt it since it sounds like that would take up all of our pathetic budget this offseason.
Drew waters is the royals CF
nah isbel is
Myles Straw's home run this most recent year was our World Series
I just really hope Mullins is healthy next year. He missed about 45 games this year, and wasn't really 100% the entire 2nd half of the season. I still believe, that if he's healthy, he can be a guy who can get you 20-25 Homers, 75 RBI's and 25-30 stolen bases.
as a dbacks fan there is very few people that i would want over thomas in cf (like less than 5)
he is so good defensively and his numbers dont show that he struggled and was sent down but then tweaked his swing and raked, hell of a guy
Everyone in the top 7 would easily without question be better, I like Thomas but that’s crazy to say lol
Alek Thomas is criminally underrated
Im a yankees fan and i wasnt expecting judge at number 1, but yeah it makes sense.
Man thanks for the vids everyone sub.
Giraffneckmarc the best baseball youtuber
Hoping he forgot the jays CF because he is listed at #7 and they haven’t announced it yet
Lee at 11 is absolutely insane wtf
Leody Taveras is definitely one of the more league average players for the Rangers, solid defensively, decent at the plate, he did hit that home run off of Justin Verlander in game 1 of the ALCS that ended up being the winning run for the Rangers in that game but he didn’t get a hit in the World Series although he did get some walks that ended up being huge. With Wyatt Langford coming up soon Evan Carter will probably be playing center field most of the time and Taveas will probably be more of a backup role but still solid.
Any chance you can put the names somewhere on the video
the luis robert name take is a W
That’s my. Boy throwing some suspect on judge fainally
Edman was elite in centerfield defense
At 6:30 Why would I wish I had that random the Mets have out in center when I already have judge?
ceddy seemed like he was holding back this year. when he came back from his groin injury you could tell he was trying not to overexert himself. i think he’s capable of a lot more than what he showed this year.
btw tommy edman is very good in center defensively, he was making highlight reel catches all the time
My boy Aaron Judge 🔥
Huge Marc W for pronouncing Luis Robert’s name properly
Is there a blue jay? I couldn’t find one 🤔
guy put our actual CF in varsho in the LF list so...
@@alberttang6947 yah, he should’ve put one of the rookies in left and Varsho in CF
No Guardians one either
Aaron Judge is a legend
I swear it doesn’t feel like this many skilled positions in baseball when can we get the pitchers 😂
Jarren Duran at 18 is CRIMINAL!!! Dude hit 295 with almost 40 doubles... your high bro.
Edman played elite defense in CF!
Cedric Mullins should be a top 10 center fielder
No matter how good Nimmo is, judge will all ways be much better.
Said by a Yankees fan who despieses the Mets
He is a better hitter than ohtani also. Take is carrier WAR and compare it to ohtani. Yes, judge has been around more. But he also hasn’t pitched. 4years 4 years of a good players wars. Should be very high. 8 years of a really good player, but judge has been around 7 and has ten higher war than ohtani
Wow what a take Judge is better then Nimmo lmao
Nobody's saying Nimmo's better than Judge
We're just saying he's a great player that deserves much more respect than he's getting at the moment
An above average defender at CF with a career ops+ of 130 never being an allstar sounds ridiculous and you know that
Suwinski is due for a monster year next season I like the placement at 14
honestly this is probably almost spot on for what i would've had. Swap nimmo for harris just because harris has alot more ceiling versus this is peak nimmo. Next one will be fun. RF is Stacked lol
I'm really curious to see how Harris does next year. I could see him having a monster season. I could also see him getting moved up in the order and without Acuña hitting behind him, he could regress a little.
@@wingracer1614

Barring injuries he’s gonna have a huge breakout
@@SWWonders Exactly why I'm picking him to have a monster year but like I said, could be interesting to see how he responds if they move him up in the order. He should be hitting like 6th or 7th in this lineup instead of 9th but 9th seems to suit him.
Dubon needs to start
Preach
Real
After that colossal choke job in the alcs, no
Meyers can’t hit though dubon can and he plays plus d fence
@@jjflo5147Meyers would have came through with the bases loaded in game 6.
Julio Rodriguez is going to be #1 soon. I've never been so impressed by such a young player. The numbers he has put up in just 2 seasons is remarkable and his attitude is amazing
cant blame Trout on the injury bug when Judge has been more injured since 2018
I love how Robert is all the sudden some Cuban word 😂
It actually originates in ancient Germanic
Buxton at 9??! You said you bumped Trout down for not being able to stay healthy but Buxton is the king of injuries. I know he has upside but even so he is very streaky up and down. Career .239 BA and .300 OBP and 106 OPS+.
9 years and Always injured and mediocre career numbers. His “potential” doesn’t justify that high ranking
He was number 3 last year he bumbed him down 6 spots
@@RyanSchilling-fg9qnhe had him 3 last year because he was coming off a career high 51 RBIs lol
TJ respect❤️❤️
I feel like duran could be johnny damon with a good arm
Thank you he is the best son centerfield 18:37
2:51
WOW 5 RBIS IS CRAZY
it’s 48 dingus
ONE MORE! ARE YOU GOING TO PUT VOGELBACH #1 AS DH OR 1ST BASEMAN?
I think Taveras would be lower on the list if he were in a different team, but him hitting 9th and being asked to do the least on the team works in his favor.
Rojas over Alex thomas is crazy
Hi once again
Shouldnt it be Soto Left, Verdugo Center and Judge Right?
Jazz at 12 is nowhere near being too aggressive
If he can stay healthy I can see top 10 for sure he really can be electric
TJ Friedl and Bellinger’s underlying numbers were far worse than there results so I think there going to regress next season
Yep!
Some team is gonna give Bellinger a 200+ million contract and are gonna regret it pretty quickly
Trout should be below jrod, guy doesnt even play baseball for a half a season anymore
I think after a healthy season 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Mike trout Will claim his crown as mlb's top Center fielder
Tauchman over pca for the cubs??
Not seeing trout in first on these lists feels weird
And really putting him at #2 is a stretch.
@@cody0010how’s that
@@bradyerkerboth were injured last year career stats for Trout win but I get the drop in rank it’s been frustrating as a halo fan he does feel more unreliable with injuries these days
@@bradyerker He's not really even good enough now to be #2 he should be down around 5 or 6. He can't stay healthy anymore and he strikes out too much. J-Rod is easily better and several others are somewhat better.
@@cody0010 yikes
Hoping next year Jasson Dominguez will be in the top 10
Your right on Harris, wrong on Albies... I could go either way Olson. Stop hating on the Braves dude. I love the Mets
Blue Jays CF is likely to be Varsho. You didn’t list anyone for them, here.
Kiermaier
@@jrdonaldson2053 he’s a free agent, not a blue jay.
@@andrewarnold9751He was a Blue Jay in his most recent season. Which the video was based on!
@@jrdonaldson2053 nope. It’s specifically not based on that. It’s based on the rankings for 2024. He based on the players current team and he includes Kermaier
@@andrewarnold9751 No excuse, but I was just on a 15 hr night shift! I didn’t catch that then!
Arson Judge is pretty good...
Bruh, before watching this we all knew who the top 5 was, and if they weren't there, we were boutta rage
Trout is a beast but needs to play a full season this year ….
Am I crazy? Are the jays not on this list? No mention of our projected centre fielder. Maybe I missed it.
I was thinking the same thing
Seems like he considered Kevin kiermaier the jays center fielder
🤔As a Braves fan. I think it’s a coin flip on Harris and Nimmo. But a Met is doing the ranking so, I already knew which way this would go. But I don’t disagree on this list. 👏🏿
nimmo is actually so much better than harris
@@bobataco210 If you say so 🤷🏿♂️
Top 3 favorite players: JRod, Ohtani, Judge. So glad I got to see Judge play in person. A generational talent.
There’s video of him saying that the ‘t’ gets dropped. But he didn’t say Ro-BEAR, he said ROB-ber.
21=RESPECT MARC
It’s crazy to me that the Astros are just, “fine” with rolling Meyers out in Center as a starter
Langford (or Carter) will push Leody out right quick in 2024. And then the Rangers will have the best outfield in baseball--offense+defense.
No way luis Robert is number 4. He's number 1 or 2 for sure
No way he's ahead of Judge if Judge actually plays center. You could maybe make a case he should be ahead of Trout if Trout can't stay healthy anymore.
He has one of the highest strikeout percentages in the league
Saying Kiermaier "can't hit at all" is funny when he had a 104 OPS+
For Real
So he’s league average lol
This is why I was mad you didn't have varsho in center where he belongs, he's a borderline top 15 cf and now you don't have a jay in center, should have just ranked Lukes as one of the worst LF where he's currently projected
no blue jays??????
He hates the blue jays 😂. Forgets that we’re a team.
Someone gets it with lui bob
Brenton Doyle gets his bat going and he’ll be a superstar!
Thank you for not letting your Yankee hate cloud your judgement!😢 I love BAJ in the #1 spot.
Ughhhh hated seeing Trouty drop a spot but a very fair decision
Tauchman is not starting over PCA next year
So no Yoshida on this list Also. Totally missed him at all 3 positions
I'm sorry. Orioles fan here. I think most, if not all of your O's rankings have been accurate or at least understandable to this point. Let's even call some generous for where these players are in their career...... However, I am deeply offended by the Cedric Mullens ranking. CF rankings defensively are so important, and he has set a new standard for making incredible plays look routine out there. And idk what the standard metric is for "hits/RBI's in the clutch", but I'd be wiling to bet Mullins is top 5 in that category for CFs. Cedric Mullins is a star, please treat him as such.
Think about how insane it is what Ronald Acuna did. Ruiz who has one thing in mind, steal bases stole 67 on the year. That is his game only hit 5 homeruns. While Acuna stole more bags all while hitting 41 bombs! It still doesn't seem real.
The problem for Ruiz is he just didn't get on base enough. Acuña had a higher average and more walks so he had way more opportunities. Also Ruiz missed a couple weeks to injury. Ruiz was actually 1 or 2 bags ahead of Acuña when he went down.
