2023 MLB Second Base Tier List Ranking 

Can’t believe Marc brought Matt Olson for this video

How many of you clicked on this just to see where he would rank Ozzie

Dudes actually insane ozzie literally hitting 27 hr and 88 rbi’s which lead all second baseman. Mets bias is unreal

Bro hates Bryson Stott 😂😂😭

I think Marc’s anti-Braves bias is actually worse than his pro-Mets bias

You are off your rocker if you don’t see how good of a hitter Bryson Stott is 😂 most two strike hits in MLB

The Bryson Stott hate was low key wild lol

It's crazy that you don't believe Stott can be a good player in the long run, but thought the Mets could win the World Series at the start of the year.

Ozzie is elite. Also 21-3

Today Ozzie hit 3-6 with 6 RBIs and a HR against the Mets. He is elite.

Marc: Atlanta is kinda a boombox Albies: *has 7 more home runs on the road*

Stott and Hoerner in solid is laughable but doesn't surprise be one bit from a salty Mets fan

Not having bryson stott in all-star is criminal

Arraez and Ozzi not being elite is honestly such a bad take, I get your a Mets fan but they’re VERY elite. Arraez is hitting 365 with very good defense and is lowkey carrying the marlins and even at. A slump he’s still excellent at hitting, while Ozzie is basically excellent at almost everything he does, the bias is insane bruh.

Albies is an above a average defender. Definitely not average and he is a top 3 hitting second baseman. He is easily elite !!!

Bryson stott should be in all star. He’s been absolutely killing it this year for us

You see what Ozzie, is doing to you for not putting him in that elite tier 😂! 5/9 2 hr 8 rbi today 💪🏿

Love seeing the love for Ha-Seong Kim this year. He keeps getting better and better and he’s earned it

Put some respect on Whit. He adds alot of value to the Jay's. He hits for avg hes solid in the field and not to mention hes a absolute demon on the basepath. And hes been going crazy as of late. In July he slugged .622 hit 7 hrs and had 20 rbis. He 100% deserves to be in the AS tier

If Gorman or Gleyber belongs in All-Star then Stott definitely does also

Ha Seong Kim is elite 100 percent

The Nico Hoerner disrespect is wild

Mets bias crazy against Stott. Leads all Phillies players in WAR, league leader in two strike hits.

Hoerner should be a all star his defensive is a top 3 2nd baseman and then his hitting is insane may not be power but you can always count on him getting 1-2 hits per game great player needed for the cubs

Ozzie just demolishing the Mets as we speak..... can't wait for game 2😏

I can't believe the Nico Hoerner disrespect. Dude is elite

Kim was terrible offensivly his 1st year, had a 73ops+ but even then he put above league average bWAR at 2.1 in just 117 games. His teammate's dumb decisions meant he got to play pretty much full-time last season and his barely above league average offence, 106ops+, paired with his defense gave him a 5.0 bWar making him one of the most valuable middle infielders last year. In fact he was so valuable that he took Tatis's job in the infield and made him move to the outfield. This years he's been good offensively, 134ops+, and has added base running with 27/33 in stolen bases, and oh I don't know does 2nd in mlb and 1st in the NL in bWAR at 5.9, yes even above acuna's 5.8, sound good? Glad you kept him in elite but it shouldn't have been a conversation after how good his year was last year and the fact that's been the most valuable player in the entire NL by bWAR.

Average Ozzie just hit one upper deck in NY. MUST be a bandbox. 😂

I love that the same day Marc posted this video, Ozzie and Braves absolutely destroyed the Mets and then Ozzie said in an interview that they take pleasure in beating them

Albies not in elite might be the funniest thing I've heard all week.

“And that is why Jeff McNeil is not only the best 2nd basemen in Baseball, but also the best player in Baseball”

Posted the same day Albies goes 3-6 with 6 rbi in a 21-3 win against the Mets. Sweet sweet irony.

There's no way I'm watching you not put Albies in elite on my first monitor and as I look at my second monitor he hits a 420 foot BOMB against the Mets.

I told myself "as long as Marc puts Ozzie in the all-star list at worst I'll be fine." You did and I am.

Nico hoerner is so underrated he has to be at least a all star

Stott I think is all star caliber

yea thairo as a giants fan is really really promising for the future. He was hitting at a allstar level until he got injured he has struggled a bit to come back but he is the full package. He will be a allstar next year guaranteed

Dude it’s ok to admit Ozzie is elite. Just ask Jose Altuve.

“I don’t believe in him one bit as being a good baseball player…” then continues to explain how Bryson Stott is a good baseball player lmao.

Yea Ozzie not the elite is definitely wild…

Stott is a former first round pick who in his second year is hitting over 300 and has been the Phillies best player on a team filled with amazing players, having him in solid and saying you don’t think he’s that good of a player is why I will never take what you say serious anymore🤣

Brandon Drury's been a really good defensive 2B for the Angels this season actually, feels like people just think the opposite because he's always been more known for his bat. Dude is just really underrated overall.

This video didn’t age very well 🤣 As of this comment: OZZIE ALBIES HIT A HOME RUN TO THE SECOND DECK OF RIGHT FIELD AT CITI FIELD!!!!! Ozzie has homered in both games of today’s doubleheader!!!

Bro the Hate against Arraez is deep!! Back to Back batting Champ, super clutch, and his defense is very good. Maybe the metrics don’t show it, but seen him play every day, he makes all the plays and then some. Definitely an ELITE second baseman.

Bruh. Ozzie Allie’s hit 28 home runs this season. Dudes elite

Ozzie Albies ranks among all 2nd basemen… HRs: 1st RBIs: 1st SLG: 1st Runs: 2nd OPS: 3rd Hits: 5th He’s also a 3 time all star and 2 time silver slugger. And yet he’s not an elite 2nd basemen???

Turang is at least average, even though he was struggling early on, he's been hitting well recently and his defense has always been amazing, he has a chance to win a gold glove this year and this is if first year.

ozzie has been awesome his entire career defensively but you wanna use one down year to condemn him just to make an argument lmao he’s significantly better than every other player in the all star tier

“And thats why Jeff McNeil is the best second baseman in baseball”

All you gotta know is Ozzie is not in Elite and Stott is in the same tier as McNeil. List instantly invalid.

You won't find anyone that loves HSK more than me, but come on; If HSK is elite then Ozzie Albies, Marcus Semien, and Altuve all need to be on their own tier above elite. Literally the three best second baseman in baseball right now. Also, how come when it comes to Ozzie defense all of a sudden plays a big part of him not being elite? Even though in other rankings its usually "I don't care about how bad defensively he is, he hits at an elite level." Because Ozzie is doing exactly that, while playing AT LEAST average defense. We all know Ozzie is better than average defensively, this season has just been weird because of the shift restrictions. Even gold glovers are having a weird defensive season.

i didn’t know bengal was a baseball guy too 😭 i love bengal

And of course Ozzie hits two more home runs against the Mets the day this video comes out

That Bryson Stott take was certainly something

Nolan Gorman 2023 WAR - 2.3 Nico Hoerner 2023 WAR - 3.5 You have Gorman in Allstar and Nico as solid? Guys, wtf is going on here

Of course a mets fan can’t see that Stott: Leads MLB in two strike hits Sees a fuck ton of pitches Knows the strike zone Plays GG caliber defense at 2B Bats over .300 Marc, all is forgiven when you give him the Chase Utley comp

Marcs anti phillies bias was seething through his Bryson Stott pick. Kid is the TRUTH!

Are you insane? Bryson Stott "isn't a good player" is one of the worst takes I've ever seen. He hits to all fields, is great defensively and has some pop. Not only is he bordering on elite, he's gonna win a batting title or two by the time he's 30

I love these videos. I wish the categories were just a little different though. I feel like you could keep elite and all star since elite definitely is a step above all star. Elite being like the guys you immediately think of when you think about the position. I feel like instead of solid it should be starter and average should be platoon while keeping backup. I don’t know man. Regardless these videos are great, but I feel like the the category shakeup would be cool too!

as a cardinals fan i love gorman if he can cut down the strike outs and walk a bit more he’s gonna be so good.. and he’s only 23 which people forget

Gorman has 24 homers, also in regards to his defense it looks way better watching it. It’s a little raw at times given he’s a third basemen by trade but he has made some incredibly plays at second this year

Showed my boy Ha-Seong Kim some respect! Awesome

Two former Rangers in Backup, and the current one in Elite. Sad to see where Ibáñez and Andrus are, but excited to see the present at the top!

That guy is for sure Marc long lost smarter cousin.

Luis arraez and Ozzie are elite

Your arguement for ozzie albies was absolutely unreal. Wrc plus doesn't matter when you hot 28 hrs and 80 rbis. He produxes.more then the whole Mets team.

@GiraffeNeckMarc As a Dodger fan, where would Gavin Lux rank if he was healthy this year?

Brice Turang has actually picked up the bat a little bit and he plays gold glove defense.

How is Brandon Drury a butcher at 2nd base? He is elite with the glove bro

For my fantasy, I picked up Gorman right in his slump days. I was sad until I picked up Arcia.

Bengal saying ‘BABIP luck’ threw me for a loop

Nice vid

Bengal jumpscare, but love it

I mean, the Ozzie hate goes without saying :p……but mad respect to moving your boy Jeff McNeil down 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. I know that Mets bias is hard to shake.

I was literally just wondering when this would drop

You really know how to get Braves fans to click on your videos! 😂

Turang since getting called back up has been great

Looking at marc and bengal together made me realize that bengal looks 16

i have to hear ur reasoning on the stott hate bc it honestly makes no sense with how amazing he’s been at hitting the ball hard stealing bags and playing solid defense

Bryson Stott not in all star is WILD and Arraez not in elite is again WILD

Zack Gelof going all the way to solid is crazy

Albies is obviously elite. 21-3 btw

Mark only brought bengal here so he wasn’t the only one getting hate

marc quaking in his boots as he faces the reality of needing to finally rank ozzie

Why does mark shat on Ozzie? He’s a switch hitter that hits bombs from both sides. His energy alone is elite. Must be the Mets in him

As a Braves fan I love watching Tommy Hunter throw a 91 mph pitch down the middle TO OZZIE

more collab content with Bengal 😮‍💨

As a Twins fan, I’ll agree with Solid. Not enough data to say he’s amazing. He hasn’t barreled the ball much and has a lot of batted ball luck

Bryson Stott criminally underrated

The turang disrespect. Come back to this in a few years and it’ll be real interesting lol

We are seeing progress Marc is slowly getting Ozzie right soon he’ll have him as elite

Well Ozzie did hit #27 and 28, since you put this video out.

i bet edwin diaz has been the best pitcher in baseball this season

If you wanna put Kim in elite solely for defense, then you kinda have to put Ozzie in elite solely for offense. And putting Marte and Kim ahead would f Ozzie And Arraez is criminal… But a Mets fan showing anti Braves bias, I shouldn’t be surprised 😂😂😂

Hilarious, but you got me to click Marc. Co-host says of Nolan Gorman 'will get 25 home runs this year, and I don't know of anyone else besides Mookie that might do that'. Err, Ozzie _already_ has 28. Ozzie is clearly head and shoulders better than Gorman - more HRs, much higher OPS, 90 versus 67 RBI, oh, and he's not a "butcher" at 2nd base that you admit Gorman is. Yet you insist in putting them in the same tier! Love your vids Marc, but you should try harder to park you bias at the door.

Marte finally getting some love

As long as you know mcneil couldn’t hold Ozzie’s jockstrap we good

Kim is best of the best right now no doubt

I’m starting to think Marc has a Jays bias. Whit is much better than solid tier. He is hitting .300 with tons of doubles, not massive HR hitter but nothing to scoff at, 20 SB, above average defense both 2B and LF. He’s been massive for the Jays and as always you’re undervaluing this teams players

So on the topic of Ozzie Albies; I’ve read plenty about advanced metrics, I understand the Utility and use of them. To that end, devaluing someone’s counting stars because you don’t think someone’s metrics are elite feels like a really weird use of metrics. Like why when someone has great counting stars but decent metrics, every constantly harps on them falling off, but when someone has bad counting stats but good metrics they’re given they’re given so many chances to break out? It’s overcomplicating a very simple fact that Ozzie Albies is an excellent baseball player
