Best ever defensive shortstop. I get sick of hearing about Ozzie Smith, Ozzie has nothing on Vizquel offensively or defensively and the fact that Smith and Aparicio are both in the HOF with lower batting averages and lower fielding percentages should make Vizquel automatically in the HOF.
I just have same opinion with you. Ozzie didn't have Omar's bear hand catches. Ozzie had poor arm strength and his throws from the hall couldn't reach directly to the firstbase man. I wonder why Vizquel has been struggling on the HOF voting.
@satoshisata3409 Omar was on a good track for awhile, gaining votes each year, but then there was some scuttlebutt about domestic abuse issues. Does not seem to be in the man's character to me, but perhaps there is a hidden side...
C'mon, man. Ozzie didn't have Omar's hands, but nobody had Ozzie's range. Ozzie's deservedly in the Hall. I think Omar is getting screwed by the fact he played in the steroid era, so while his OPS is better than Ozzie's, his OPS+ is lower. But saying Ozzie isn't as good defensively as Omar seems short-sighted. Vizquel is, in a lot of ways, more entertaining to watch than Ozzie, but when it comes to turning ground balls into outs, Ozzie is second to none.
Lo maravilloso en Vizquel no era verlo hacer jugadas espectaculares sino verlo hacer las jugadas de rutina.. Cuánta elegancia! El mejor de todos los tiempos Manos de seda
Vizquel se merece el salón de la fama Coppertown, tiene buenas azañas en el campo corto y con el madero no ha sido malo y un caballero en el terreno, esperemos que se le cumpla ese deseo
Mándenle este video , al seudo fablistan deportivo , llamado Juan Vene , para que observe la clase de Vizquel , y deje las niñadas al momento de votar para que sea electo al Salón de la FAMA , que no sea egoísta con los peloteros VENEZOLANOS , sus paisanos de paso
He's a tough call, 3000 hits would be nice, he's 133 shy. Still, he's 43rd all time there. Only 3 AS appearances in 24 year career. Only once did he garner any MVP votes. I think with some weak candidates on the horizon, especially this year's ballot, he might get in and I'm fine with it. I can go either way with him.
Quienes lo vimos jugar disfrutamos de lo elegante en su defensa y lo elegante q hacia las jugadas y como bateador no fue un bate quebrado exelente Vizquel ,, soy magallanero y para mí es el mejor y creo q le hurtaron la palabra mago ,,
I think he was a better defensive SS than Ozzie Smith, and here's why: Ozzie played the vast majority of his game on astroturf, and rarely got bad bounces. Vizquel, with the execption of his stint in Seattle, played on grass fields with dirt infields, and quite often got bad bounces from rocks and debris. He was incredible.
@@derekwang7330 Ozzie didn't have Omar's bear hand catches and had weaker arm strength. Ozzie's throws from the hall couldn't reach directly to the firstbase man.
@@derekwang7330 DRS is an index of how a player compares to other players in the league. Ozzie was meant to stand out among poor shortstops of his era. Omar stood out even among much better shortstops including several Latinos. Also, since DRS is calculated for only one season, it is defined as an index that cannot be simply compared with past players. Ozzie didn't have fielding and throwing skills that Omar had as I've written. Ozzie was apparently defensively inferior to Omar.
Omar vizquel el papaupa de frente de perfil de espaldas en el aire agachado sentado un fuera de serie no existe otro con esas cualidades naturales como vizquel que mas quieren.
Para mí siempre será el mejor dela historia que ha pasado por las grandes ligas digan lo que digan solo le faltó ganar un mundial para que sea reconocido
the allegations against him are concerning, but that doesn't change anything when it comes to the Hall of Fame. He should already be in there. Don't let the PC Police overtake the HOF. If that's the case, then Cobb and Ruth should be out tomorrow
@@spconrad9612 I know. bums me out. if he had gotten in on his first ballot, which he totally deserved, then this wouldn't be part of the conversation.
@@Stumanji77 .... spot on! I’ve seen many balls get by Jeter that Omar would catch in his sleep. And I hate that “oh well” (shrug) Jeter would make as if to say, “nobody would’ve caught that one”. Yes Derek, Omar would have.
Cant believe no highlights of him barehand catching balls with his throwing arm and almost in one motion throwing the batter out ! Or when he would catch the ball off of the back of his glove !!! And toss out at second for a double play ! He was something else !
Ya debería estar en el HOF con números defensivos que todavía son récords en la actualidad y sus números ofensivos también buenos sus estadísticas como short stop son mejores que muchos están de los que están en el HOF es toda una injusticia.
sin lugar a dudas uno de los mejores jugadoes del short stop de la mlb junto a ozzie smit lamentablemente sus problemas familiares no lo han dejado exaltar al salom de la fama ok
The play at like 2:10 is remarkable. Yeah the grab is good but the way he gets up and plants his right leg first instead of getting up with his left leg then having to set his right and then step with his left again. You really can't teach that that's all instinct and the reason why he's the best SS ever
The Mariners could have just kept Vizquel and had ARod play third. Then the Mariners would have had the greatest defensive left side of the infield ever.
Roberto Alomar tiene 2700 hit. 10 guantes de oro , y fue exaltado. Otra cosa que no entiendo de del salón de fama es que si el pelotero tiene buenos números y luego fuera del terreno el tipo tiene una pelea o se divorcia etc. Sales con muchas mujeres. Lo afecta para ser elegido.. si premia el talento como jugador o si el tipo es una ciudad o ejemplar. Cuando un pelotero de retire que lo nombren papá del Vaticano para que estos periodistas estés felices
Quitarle su cupo en Coperstatown es como quitarle a Messi Su Copa Del Mundo. Quien tiene Mejor Trayectoria y Números en el SS que el? Hasta le quitaron un Golden Glove porque bateó menos que Jeter? Es Golden Glove o mejor bateador? Sin faltarle el respeto a Jeter
Vean dominicanos lo que era un cc y ustedes y que Tatis jr iba hacer superior a Vizquel y tuvieron que mandarlo para los jardines porque fue un fracasado en esa posición
