Are These MLB Players OVERRATED or UNDERRATED? 

This Trevor Story analysis comes as he's having a 6 HR series.

Paul Goldschmidt might be the most underrated player in the MLB.

Devers defense has been amazing this year. An unexpected step up but he’s taken a huge leap

I think you understate Devers defense at the moment. Yes, in years past he has definitely been at the bottom of the leaderboard when it comes to defense, but this year he has made some big changes, and hasn't dipped below top 15 in OAA among all third baseman. currently playing slightly above average defense at third and is easily top 3 at the position so far this year.

Devers and Bogaerts have been sick in the field this year, this is coming from a sox fan but they’ve genuinely both taken huuuuge steps defensively

its crazy how 3 years ago everyone thought bryce was overrated now they know now he's one of the great players in todays game

Paul goldschmidt is so underrated he didn’t even make the tier list at all :)

Gotta disagree that Kershaw is just slightly underrated, I thinks he’s very underrated at this point. I find it wild that people think his career is done when he still is one of the best pitchers in the league still. Yeah, he gets injured more and he isn’t prime Kershaw but past prime Kershaw can can headline most teams rotations today and not just because of past performance

Can't believe Stanton isn't here. He's a perfect example of someone who is underrated today.

Marc, you’ve seriously gotta watch some Red Sox games. Raffy isn’t as horrible at defense as you describe him lmfao

Devers showed hints at being a good defender in 2019 and is one of the best defending 3rd basemen so far this year

Devers has been playing half decent defender this year

I live in Germany. Being a baseball fan here is hard. Almost nobody knows about the sport. But today I realized that it is also an amazing chance. I can go from door to door ask people if they want to talk about baseball and then tell them about the one and only GOAT. ❤️

Cole has had one bad playoff start, it’s insane to say that he’s bad in big games. If anything he was probably still dealing with an injury because it was a really bad month for him heading into that game.

bro you clearly havent watched any sox games this year, to say that "Devers has no clue what hes doing at third base" is actually one of the more embarassing statements to come out of your mouth

"And that's why Brandon Nimo is the best player in all of MLB."

Story is underrated.

Do a One player that you forgotten about on each team

As a Mets fan, the I can say that the Mets have two of the most underrated players in Nimmo and McNeil

Nice rankings, love every ranking vids you do

Live the video’s and content. Good on the merch Marc

Devers' defense is way less damming than you think. He's been very solid at 3B this year, top 15 defender at the position. That narrative is dying fast. Xander though... that's who you should advocate to be the next DH in Boston.

How can you label Mike Trout underrated? No one mentions his name without comparing him to every hof centerfielder in history

Nimmo has always been one of the most underrated players in baseball. Elite OBP, great glove, above average power. Since his first full season, his bWAR/162 is over 5. He'd be an improvement to most teams.

This Trevor Story slander feels weird after he went Barry Bonds on the Mariners.

the hate on xander and devers defense is insane Marc. they are not as bad as you say. your takes would be right if we were talking maybe 2017 but we’re in 2022 their defense is average at worst. the improvements they’ve made over the years goes unnoticed

Great video I would like to see some more like this

Absolutely love how knowledgeable you are when it comes to the MLB. Best reactor when it comes to the MLB(knowledge wise)

A very agreeable tier list. Brandon Nikki and Jose Ramirez are two of my favorite players in the mlb

We need more of this

Marc: Puts story in overrated as he’s hit 6 hrs in 5 games Me: 🌚

Trevor Story was really struggling at the plate at first, but now he’s heating up, I’d put him in the properly rated because of how he’s been hitting the last few weeks!

Man, TA7 not even being on this list hurts. He's the best player on the White Sox no questions, dude puts up career highs almost every year and even if he isn't the greatest defensively, he makes up for it with his consistency everywhere else.

I was waiting for Gerri cole to be up the whole time

Baseball is a crazy sport man. Last year MVP candidates turn overrated. The game gets to ur head. That’s the hardest part ab the sport.

Story has been improving, would give him an imcomplete.

Stanton is underrated

Obviously you don't watch Red Sox games...Raffy has turned his defense around he's a complete player

Haha I also use to pronounce Robert’s name like that, but I think that’s the French way of saying it. He’s from Cuba which definitely pronounces it as Rah-burt rather than row-bear unfortunately.

the fact that Paul Goldschmidt isn't here just shows how underrated he is

Max Kepler is EXTREMELY underratted.

Love the content Marc, but I am struggling with you not judging Bobby Witt Jr and Julio Rodriguez on their first few months of the season yet ignore the last year or 2 of several players and judge them solely on the first 2 months. For example, Lindor has to be at least slightly overrated because, as you say, he hasn't performed like in Cleveland and in my opinion that's how he needs to be viewed. Would love to see this done again later in the season and judged based on your top player rankings coming into the season and how the player performed this season.

Agree on Bellinger. I think he can be great but his batting approach needs drastic change. Also, the Dodgers should trade him while he still has some perceived value.

Mariner fan here. I saw the jacket in the thumbnail and gotta ask, are you Milanisti? I'm a big fan and super happy about breaking the 11 year drought for #19. If you don't know what I'm talking about, all good. It's an Italian futbol thing that just happened Sunday. You are wearing some of their merch in the thumbnail so I figured I'd ask. Forza Milan 🔴⚫ Go Mariners ⛴️⚾

I saw your Facebook advertisement for editors, are you still looking?

Hey Mark, I’m at a St. Paul Saints minor league game and just saw Oneil Cruz go yard!

the fact Ty France isn't even on this list tells you how underrated he is lol

Gerrit Cole: Finishes #2 in Cy Young voting. Overrated. Frankie Lindor: Hits .230 with a 101 OPS+ on a 340MM contract. Perfectly rated. Certainly a take, Marc. Shockingly none of the Mets are even slightly overrated. Truly shocking. Good list otherwise buddy!

Seager is a .300 hitter with pop and good playoff performer. Slightly Underrated.

Hey Marc was this recorded before or after his 5 HR series?

If you are a rookie that performs well the first 50 game: “still too soon, he is not that good” If you are a rookie that performs bad the first 50 game: “he is trash”

You lost me at Brandon Crawford. Seriously, the man has more post-season games than all of the Mets combined. His last season was amazing. He is struggling, but we're still early in the year, and he hit a grand slam just the other night. The level of disrespect towards the guy, shameful.

Pretty good list overall. I won’t mention my disagreements cuz who cares it’s your list. But on the whole you nailed it I think. Keep up the killer content

And thats why Jeff McNeil is that most underrated and best player in mlb history

I don’t the get whole “Cole can’t pitch in big games” like the guy was insane in the 2019 playoffs with the Astros

Yikes Marc how do you feel about Story now?

You should do one of these for all the big contracts

As a Yankee fan who sees a lot of Mets baseball due to living on Long Island, Brandon Nimmo is absolutely one of the most underrated players in the league

trevor story came back to life

Really like the video! And of course everyone has their opinions and is going to agree and disagree. Most underrated not to be on this list is Goldy. Overrated is your top catcher Grandal. I hope you do more this is fun!

How did he put Mike Trout underrated? Everyone know he is the best player at the moment he is properly rated

The fact Paul Goldschmidt isn’t in this tier list means he is criminally underrated

Wait I had no idea that you and Mullins had Crohn’s disease, I do too! I doubt we could but I’d love to talk to some time about what has helped you because I’ve really been struggling with my health from Crohn’s.

“And that’s why Francisco Lindor is the most underrated player in baseball”

I might be a tad biased because I’m a diehard Braves fan but Ozzie Albies I would put in the properly rated category became of his defensive consistency and his clutch hitting. To be fair, I do agree that the Mets have two of the most underrated players in baseball in Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo.

Completely agree with your assessment on Altuve. Kinda think he will be underrated for the rest of his career just because everyone likes to hate on him more than any other Astros player. But he is still a beast, and even if he falls to an average player in the future people will still underrate him just because of 2017.

Brandon nimmo is definitely underrated because he has value beyond just stats. His plate discipline makes him a great lead off hitter

I’ve been watching the Mets this year Bc they finally don’t suck and Brandon Nimmo is an excellent all around baseball player and if the Yankees had him instead of Aaron hicks they’d probably never lose a game ever

Hey Marc who do you think is gonna win tomorrow South Carolina or Florida? As a huge gamecocks fan my self I’m rooting all the way for the boys in garnet

let's do a ranking on the mispronunciations of Luis Robert. I think I've heard about nine different ways so far. The great mystery in baseball right now

Underrated: Genesis Cabrera, Drew Smith, Luis Guillorme, Jose Urquidy, Jared Walsh, Brandon Nimmo, Ryan McMahon, Jeremy Pena and Colin Holderman

I hate that Strom left the Astros, if anyone did not realize how great he was before they certainly do now.

Did not know u were a Chrohns Brother, IBD gang 🤞

And also Xander is soooo criminally underrated

Bryant is in the Jeter tier. When 50% say overrated and 50% say underrated he ends up averaging out to just right. Even if very few fans are accurate.

“Devers is awful on the field,” I don’t think so. He’s kinda figured it out now and he’s honestly not that bad. Acuna should be slightly underrated. Shohei should be slightly overrated if not overrated seeing how good he was last year and that he’s the cover of the show 22.

Devers has been great at 3B this year! Put some respect on the name

Jazz if you see this, I need an auto bro. Just got your topps rookie short print card!! Let’s go. Ps thanks for the content Marc.

I think these are pretty accurate! Only thing id disagree with is mookie not being slightly underrated. He has somewhat of a “down” year last year but currently has 10 hrs, with a 154 ops+, leads the league in runs and the ridiculous defense in the outfield, i think its hard not to call him a top 10 player and fully expect him to make another mvp run this year

Got Aaron Judge right. People look at some stats and ignore all the context. For example, his strikeouts. Look at his at bats for a week and you will see he gets about 2 ridiculously low strikes called against him ever 3 at bats. Now there's no way to know what he would do with that extra strike, some of them came with a 3 ball count and should have been walks. I honestly believe his strikeouts would be lowered by around 25-30% if we had a computer calling balls and strikes. Then there's him being "injury prone" which may be the biggest myth in modern baseball. His only "recurring" injury is the oblique. Other than that, he's had a broken wrist from a HBP, A rib injury after landing weird on a diving play and the shoulder injury he suffered crashing into the wall. He gets hurt by flukes and because he plays all out. Then there's the people who say he's a strike out or a homer, which if true, based on his batting average, he would have roughly 190 or so home runs every year. He bats around .280, has monster power, can run the bases well, has above average speed, one of the best defensive right fielders, fearless going after the play with not just a cannon for an arm, but one that is as accurate as any I've ever seen. Aaron Judge, is really, Really, REALLY great at playing baseball. Easy top ten, maybe top 5 and in any given season he may be the best.

I find it to be such a weird anomaly how only a couple years ago there was this intense MVP race that was so cool to watch between Cody bellinger and Christian Yelich , two young studs taking over the league with insane stats.. then they both fell off right at the same time and aren’t even considered mvp candidates at all anymore. Super weird.

I am sorry marc, but to say that Rafael Devers is a terrible fielder is just wrong, he only has 2 errors this season has increased his range, he makes the crazy plays and has taken better routs to the ball. if u want to watch him field then go check out some highlights. He is still young but everyone around baseball is saying how much of a better defender he is so before u call him a terrible defender and a DH, just look at the 2022 stat line. all love ❤🔥

What happened to the mic at the end

Carlos Rodon: What respect should he have? He is 48-42 with an era of over 3.5, several injuries, he is from my hometown in case you think there is any biased opinion.

Ngl, I was one of the people who didn't think that Trout is the best player in the Majors coming into this season, and boy I was wrong. I'm happy that I'm wrong tho. About Mookie- maybe it's me being a Dodgers fan, but I still do think Mookie is a top 10 players in the league. In fact, in the beginning on the season I said he'll bounce back to be a borderline top 5 players, if not a sure top 5 players. So I do think he's slightly underrated and he's probably the best player on our team rn. Guys like Trea Turner, Freeman, Walker, and even Kershaw are still up there of course

Cardinals Have the Most underrated team in baseball. Goldy+Oniel+Arenado+Wainwright+ Gallegos Not to mention the insane Leadership on that team. People be sleeping on Albert also. Don’t forget about Juan Yepez potential NL rookie of the year

Talking about Arenado, “Take it easy on the Mets this week”. He listened to you. :/

I cant describe to you how thankful I am that somebody finally agreed that Judge is underrated

If we’re talking about how good a players value is we have to bring availability in like Byron buxton is great but he’s injured half of the season just not fair to players who 140 games a season

(In regards to Bobby Whit)"This isn't really fair." My brother in christ you made the list

After the first month of the season, Wander Franco has been HORRIBLE. Hate to say it but he might be looking even a little overrated right now. He has dropped from a top statistical player in the early goings to about average. Which means his last 15 games have been dog

I would consider wander to be slightly overrated. He’s hitting 260 with a 700 ops and people we’re acting like he’s the next coming of Tony Gwynn. I know it’s early but he’s really not that impressive

Usually like the quiz content but Marc can get super biased in these ranking types of videos.

Man I really love how much Harper and Machado have matured three years ago Harper and Machado would be at the top of the list and overrated now they are both underrated

Good list. Only things I disagree with are, Ozzie (slightly overrated) , Seager (overrated) , Matt Olson (overrated) , Mookie (overrated)

You must do this at this point in the season!!

Think you should compare Pena to Franco. You will see Pena is out performing him in just about every category. Maybe I am misunderstanding the list. Are you basing it on what players have done this season and the last couple or on what you think they can do?

Every top SS conversation rips Bogaerts for his defense but glosses over just how bad Tatis is in the field. Makes absolutely no sense…

That Brandon Crawford slander will not stand

I’m a Cardinals fan and two things 1. My team is the hottest RIGHT NOW (As of May 24, 2022) 2. So hot that it is the first time I’ve seen the catcher pitch
