MLB's TRAGIC 10. Where are they now? 

Jose Fernandez' death still really hurts me, what a huge loss for baseball.

Jose Fernandez' death really challenged my love of baseball tbh, but then I remember watching their first game back and that clip of Dee Gordon hitting a home run still gives me goosebumps. Possibly the biggest "What if" in baseball history.

I got to watch the Skagg's memorial game combined no-no live... Man... That was a huge tear jerker... One of the most memorable moments in baseball for me.

Man, I still can’t watch that Dee Gordon homer without getting choked up. Just absolute cinema and what everyone needed after such a horrible tragedy.

Sometimes, I wonder what happens to the MLB if Jose and Ventura were still around, especially with how the league has become more friendly towards their personalities.

When I was 11, 2011, I saw Oscar Tavares play in Springfield. We got there late and I was having a rough day honestly, but when the game ended I caught him signing some autographs in the corner for staff and he was super kind, made my night, and even waited for me to find the card I had of him to sign. Was one hell of a player too, definitely would’ve been an all-star for years. RIP to a great man and his girlfriend Edilia🙏

I miss José so much man, we played as teammates and as opponents in travel ball and high school, the dude was so incredible and a really good dude. I even practiced a little bit with him and his pitching coach it just hurts to this day seeing some of those humble beginnings and watching them bear fruit to just have it be gone in a blink of an eye.

The Oscar Taveras death still hurts to this very day. We never got to see him live up to his true potential.

RIP VENTURA. Kansas city misses and loves you. I especially do. You were the man and I loved the fire in your arm and in your heart.

Nobody talks about how much gerrit cole was absolutely the reason the Yankees barely survived the guardians in last ALDS. It was so devastating getting carved alive twice

I'm not a marlins fan but man when Jose died it hit me. I loved him as a player.

Jose Fernandez made a huge impact on me. It came at a time in my life when I was questioning my own baseball future. Seeing this kid who for a handful of years before was my favorite personality and talent to watch (even as a dodger fan), to watch him pass. I just remember crying on my couch, tears streaming and I couldn’t understand why I was so upset. It felt like seeing your favorite artist die, never to make another painting again. Leaving us to reminisce the beauty of their life and effort in the game we used to play. Long Live Jose.

RIP Tyler Skaggs, Yordano Ventura, Jose Fernandez, Oscar Tevaras. Sadly, this is just the most recent names on the list of active MLB players that have died. Since the year 2000 there's been 13 players, the 4 named above, as well as: - Greg Halman 24 year old outfielder Mariners 2011 - Nick Adenhart 22 year old pitcher Angels 2009 - Josh Hancock 29 year old pitcher Cardinals 2007 - Joe Kennedy 28 year old pitcher Blue Jays 2007 - Cory Lidle 34 year old pitcher Yankees 2006 - Steve Bechler 23 year old pitcher Orioles 2003 - Dernell Stenson 25 year old outfielder Reds 2003 - Mike Darr 25 year old outfielder Padres 2002 - Darryl Kile 34 year old pitcher Cardinals 2002 The decades of the 1970's and 80's also had a combined 13 deaths. But other than that, you gotta go back to like the turn of the century, when there was multiple players dying every year from things typhoid fever and tuberculosis, to find comparable numbers of active players dying in a similar timeframe. And unlike the previous instances, all but 2 of the guys from the recent group were under 30 years old, and more than half were 25 years old or younger. In such a short period of time so much young talent gone, and often for reasons that were completely preventable. It's tragic. It's been a few years since an active player died, hopefully that keeps up for a long time to come. RIP to all the guys i mentioned or even alluded to.

Great video, I hadn't followed baseball in the last decade and didn't even realize a couple of these guys had died. Baseball is filled with so many what-if stories.

Could you imagine the Marlins with an offense headlined by Yelich, Stanton, Ozuna and Realmuto and a rotation headlined by Fernandez and Alcantara? That’s potentially an all-time great dynasty right there.

Oscar Taveras always hits me hard. That kid was on the path to be something truly special.

The players ive always wanted to see pitch again were Jose Fernandez and Yordano Ventura.. i watch the world series vs the mets so many times just to watch him dominate and reflect on what he could've been...

The MLB would be in such a different place with Taveras, Fernandez and Ventura. Man what it could’ve been

Beautiful closing statement and quality video!! RIP to all those involved in this list

Wow, it crept up on me that 2013 was 10 years ago! Where did the time go!?

Jose Fernandez passing hurt a lot for baseball fans but I was so happy to see Dee Gordon hit that homer against the Mets

As with so many of us, an injury can derail a life. Hurt my back in the military, was prescribed fentanyl, and I went into a downward spiral for years. Luckily I was able to come out the other side healthy

Oh my god the mlb the show rookie of the year screen with myers and Fernandez just brought back too many memories.

Hey mate, great music this time man, and great video too bro.

Royals fan here, Ventura's death is said to be the most tragic moment in Royals history. And many fans myself included say we never got to see Ventura's true potential.

Great video very informative well done! When you said "on a much lighter note" for Travis D'Arnaud but, that clips "higher note" was short-lived when you got to "the trade," then cut to a shot of Roy Halladay at his press conference and then realized Doc passed away too...and then you mentuoned Pedro Felicianos passing! 😥

When D Gordon hit that home run it gave me chills. It still does. How Incredible

Dee's homer after Fernandez passed will never not make me emotional.

Rip Oscar. Carlos Martinez was never the same after losing his buddy.

Great video. Definitely subscribing.

As someone who had an opioid addiction in the early 2000’s, I can tell you that getting off the pills wasn’t the hardest part. In the 17 years that I’ve been clean, my biggest issue was getting surgery on my lowest lumbar discs (lower back) and not being able to take any pain meds during recovery. The same thing when I had dental surgery. Throbbing pain and nothing harder than Tramadol to take for it.

Crazy how this was only 10 years ago, feels like less. I like the Mount & Blade Warband music in the background in the beginning of the video, brings back nostalgia.

Love the video, and the game freak music at the end (;

I see what you did with Profar´s background song... kind of a low blow, but funny AF nonetheless! Great content.

Jose Fernandez's death crushed me, like really crushed. He reminded me of myself if I could've played professionally. Loved that kid. Now we're left to wonder what could've been. And don't get me started on Tyler Skaggs... 😭😭😭

seeing that schwarber hr gave me warm fuzzy feelings all over again. thank you

Jose Fernardez's Career was everyone's Starting Pitcher Career Arc from The Show.

Good on you for being honest about Fernandez, It is a Tragic what if...and how I wish he had made better choices...same with Skaggs...

Oscar Taveras' death set the Cardinals back a few years in terms of talent. He was likely going to be the next Pujols in terms of hype and all. It's a shame that one reckless decision, for each of Skaggs, Fernandez, Taveras and Ventura, cost each of them their lives (though out of the 4, Ventura's may have only been weather related. Evidently, a toxicology report occurred, but the results were never disclosed to the public.)

Appreciate the Halo music in the background. Nice video

Letting Zach Wheeler go was a Wilponzi move by Papa Fred and Son Jeffyboy to stick it to the Mets fans as usual. They tried giving him a hometown discount thinking he would accept it and ended up going to Philadelphia.

Outstanding video, you got my sub! You’re the Jose Fernandez of editing skills! Uh, I don’t mean that in any bad way

Great Video

I don’t think I’ll ever forget where I was when I heard Jose Fernandez passed away

Jose Fernandez’s death really rocked my world. I was 11, and we were looking to be on the upswing. Then on that Sunday morning he passed away. I was at his last start, on 9/20/16. It was against Washington. He threw 8 shutout innings, picking up the win. Little did I know it would be his last career start. RIP JOSE, WE MISS YOU BUDDY. #RIP16

The music during the Jurickson Profar section is fire, great choice.

Man I loved watching Jose and Yordano, even as a Mets fan I loved seeing those guys as I grew up

Fernandez was AMAZING. His slurve was so nasty and eveytime he pitched I would watch on MLB extra innings or on the MLB app. I was always in amazment watching him pitch, and tried to mimic his delivery in my baseball games.

i first got into baseball watching Jose Fernandez, i bought his jersey, i told people he was gonna be the best pitcher in the league, and i wasn’t even a Miami fan, he was just so electric and talented… i stopped watching baseball for a bit after he passed. but he truly made an impact in a short time.

amazing video

Baseball AF is a good guy. Seeing him breakdown Zack Wheeler was a CURVEBALL

Apologies on my analysis on Wil Myers -- I got caught up in the midness

I’m excited to what Myers can do for my Reds. It’s not like it can get much worse for us right now. RIP all the guys who passed. I remember them all.

Damn good video. That Jose Fernandez death was horrific. I'm a Braves fan and that hurt because as a competitor he was fun to watch and was a hell of a pitcher. That dude was on another level.

I still think about Jose a lot. He was going to be one of the best to ever do it. Multiple 300k seasons, multiple Cy Young's and the most exciting pitcher in baseball given he stayed healthy. It's heartwrenching to think about what could have been and it always will be

I’ve always said that any baseball channel that uses Donkey Kong Country music in the background would become my favorite baseball channel. I guess this is my favorite baseball channel now.

As a Marlins fan I miss Jose so much. His death changed the entire franchise. I remember in 2016 a game he pitched i asked for his autograph but he told me outside and i knew where the marlins came out after the game, jose came out saw me and then the rest of the fans came over signed for everyone in the line and then went on his way. Absolute gem of a human. Miss him so much.

I was completely stunned and saddened when we all lost the bright spot that was Jose Fernandez. Mannnn he was electric to watch on that field, but also fun to watch him on the bench too. Always looked like he was having fun out there. He fought for everything he's gotten in his life. His freedom from Cuba, his spot on an MLB roster and his undeniable character. RIP Jose Fernandez

I pulled a Tyler Skaggs auto and a Jose Fernandez redemption from the same box. I was, to say the least, very disturbed and sad.

Seeing how things panned out for Wil Myers will always sting. Not saying the guy was going to be All-MLB caliber at 1st, but the Hosmer signing doomed him and the Padres. He always did what was always asked of him in San Diego even if his bat was streaky at best. Hopefully he can get it together in Cincy

Travis has become something of a fan favorite lovable guy here in ATL. I went to Game 3 and watched him launch that WS homer in the bottom of the 8th to set the game to its eventual final of 2-0. Yeah, he's a bona-fide Brave forever now.

As a Padres fan, he may have not been the greatest but I still love Wil Myers, to me he’s my favorite Padre that I’ve seen play in person and I’ll definitely miss him

Just so you know, I subbed after you asked. It's not that I wouldn't have wanted to otherwise, it just wouldn't have occurred to me. So it does help to ask because not everyone clicks on a video to see if they wanna subscribe to someone.

As a cards fan Oscar Tavarez till this day gets me. So sad in Dominican they don’t even have sides on their roads. He was so bright and saw such promise

Such a heartbreaking video

The Jose Fernandez situation reminds me of the Lyman Bostock one back in the late 70s. Look him up if aren't familiar. Rookie-of-the-Year Cub Ken Hubbs from the early 60s as well.

I miss Oscar taveras he was the all time goat

That puke warning was so foul of you 😂 Made our eyes focus on reading, right as the puke started. Hahah

Cole will stroll into the HOF. I have no doubt. He still has 6 years of play left just on this contract and this is his age 32 season. Based off what we've seen from the elite power pitchers of his talent level in recent years, I would expect 3-4/6 of these years to still be prime or near prime level. That means 250 Ks annually, at most a 3.30ish ERA (though I expect several sub 3 years if the HR luck can stabilize some and he can get a real SS behind him), and 200+ IP. He already is right around 2000 Ks. He should pretty confidently get to 3000 Ks and playing for the Yankees plus pitching deep into games, he can probably average around 15 wins per year for next 3-4 years and then 8-10, putting him in a reasonable spot to get 200 career wins. Those type of stats make his HOF chances a pretty strong lock.

Before signing with the Orioles, Bundy had reportedly wanted 30 million dollars per year. Dude hadn't pitched a single MLB game.

The Dee Gordon home run is the most magical baseball moment of all time. Nothing makes me emotional but that did, and im a Red Sox fan.

Rip to the two guys Fernandez killed

Didn’t really understand about Tyler Skaggs too much, but I was at his last start ever, crazy to think about

Just subscribed.

16:01 him collapsing after getting hit is always gonna be one of the funniest things ever to me. hilarious that he just watched that floater from a position player come in and hit him then CRUMPLED. baseball is the best sometimes.

Jose Fernandez was my favourite pitcher, dude was an absolute stud

What a different Marlin's we could've had if Jose hadn't left us. All these boys in their prime in a franchise ready for the big time, Jose Fernandez, Christian Yelich, Dee Gordon, Giancarlo Stanton, JT Realmuto, Marcell Ozuna, and just to top it off Ichiro leading them with ultimate wisdom.

Great video! Lemme guess- you’re a Mets fan?

That clip you showed of "John Elefante" was actually Steve Walsh, the origional singer of Kansas 😂

Jose Fernandez' death upsets me so much. Even in the recounting I was crying---I'm a Cubs fan and I liked Fernandez.

Im a Mets fan and I LOVED Jose Fernandez. RIP young man.

I watched every game Fernandez pitched for the Marlins and there is zero doubt in my mind that he would be the single most dominant pitcher since Randy Johnson if he were alive and well today. I often find "electric" to be a tremendously overused word, but it's precisely what I'd use to describe Jose Fernandez. When he had the ball, you knew you were witnessing someone special and there was absolutely no doubt about it. I don't think I'll ever see a more exciting or tragic case of "come whatever may" again in my lifetime.

It’s so hard to believe that KC was just in back to back World Series, Winning the 2nd 1 of the 2 appearances. I’m stoked for KC and really Glad they got 1 and didn’t just make the appearances . Appearances are great and actually deserve more respect than they get Which I think they actually are more appreciated now days But Winning 1 is HUGE❕ Especially for a KC Royals Team REDS need to get there’s . 1990 is a long time ago now .

I subscribed

One thing about Ventura was that he was a great player surrounded by good players. I always wonder how we would’ve ended up if we still had him. Even in our 2014/2015 run the Royals didn’t have any top of the line talent, they just had 9 extremely solid players who kept the line moving. No holes in that lineup but no player was a #1 at their position and Ventura had some potential to be a top 10 pitcher with his crazy arm talent. So unfortunate to see him go not only as a player but as a person

i miss Ventura he was my favorite player RIP Ventura😢

The part that bothers me is the one with Tyler Skaggs, addicts are not treated that way ever, especially if they overdose and die, I wish more people treated addicts like humans but they just don’t, and because he was a successful baseball player it seemed like more people cared, I just want that same kind of love and compassion for the people struggling at home that have no help, or have no one behind them to push them thru, or the resources that a mlb player would get..

RIP Taveras we miss you so much. Wish we could have seen the height of your skill, love you.

Fernandez’s death still hurts. I’m a Cubs fan, but I have to wonder what would have been different in the last 7 years had Jose not died. The Marlins may have kept their core together and found success. Jose might’ve won a CY or 2. It’s just tragic

the dee gordon home run clip always tears me up

Tyler Skaggs actually overdosed in a building about 2 minutes from where I live. I remember that day being so surreal

That's Steve Walsh you show as Kansas lead vocalist at 13:18 . Elefante replaced Walsh when he left the band and returned several years later.

Great channel you got me subbed I always want to do a baseball channel like this

23:03 for context, the Dominican Republic has a huge drinking and driving problem with little to no enforcement of their laws by the police

RIP Fernandez. I remember that game Dee Gordon hit that homer was def a very emotional game for them

Wheelers Mets saga drove me nuts. If only he had a season in 2015 like he had in 2014, the Mets might've won the World Series And if only Cohen owned the Mets when he left for free agency. Cant imagine he would've let him walk especially to a division rivals. Sucks to see him be successful with the Phillies.

No death by an athlete shocked my core quite as much as Jose Fernandez, and I'm not even a Marlins fan. Dude was just an exciting player.

I think my first expletive is well deserved.

i love a good baseball channel

And that’s baseball.
