Ranking Best Center Fielder From Every MLB Team (2023) 

Michael Harris is something special and I still can't believe the Braves got him in the 3rd round. Wouldn't surprise me if him and JRod end up competing for the title of best center fielder for the next decade. I know making these lists have been hurting Marc. My guy has had to put a Brave as top 5 in every single one he's released so far, besides second base and shortstop (Vaughn is THAT guy offensively though). We all know where Acuna righteously deserves to be also, even if he had a down year because of injuries.

Fun fact about Chas McCormick: He hit 14 home runs this year, and none of them were pulled.

“And that’s why Brandon Nimmo will not only win National League MVP, but will also guide my New York Mets to a World Series Championship in the 2023 MLB season.”

Julio better be top 5 Update: he got it right

Nimmo over Harris is hilarious

Mike Trout literally amazes me every year

Marc you can't say you have Nimmo in front of M. Harris bc of longevity and at the same time have J-Rod at 2 when Hariss and J-Rods numbers are very similiar. Also Harris is the youngest player in baseball. Nimmo should be 3 or 5 Regardless it's a knit pick, but I just felt I should disclose that info lol

The only reason I'm fine with Nimmo over Harris is bc you said "longevity" not "better"...Harris in ≈40 less games matched or beat Nimmo in nearly every hitting statistic, and well, Harris is definitely the better defender. So Harris is definitely better, objectively speaking.

I think the big thing with McCormick is his approach, he can swing so hard it can turn into "Hack" McCormick

Garrett Mitchell went to UCLA. Not Oregon. Just an FYI. Love the list

Micheal Harris lower than Nimmo is crazy

I love where you put The Chasmanian Devil, CHAS CHAS CHAS!!! Let’s Go Astros!!!

Next video coming out is SS rankings edited with Correa at number 1

Assuming Springer will be in the RF rankings given that’s where he’ll play next year

Been waiting all day for this video ❤🎉

Homie is gonna wake up ecstatic in a few hours

Great video, Garrett Mitchell went to UCLA though. His fiance went to Oregon.

Love these videos!

Bold Leody ranking, and I love it. He could explode this year hitting at the top of the Rangers order

Riley Greene is absolutely top 10. Totally unbiased tigers fan here

Can’t wait for Marc reaction video on the Mets signing Correa after the deal fell through with the Giants.

I could already see some aggressive rankings in this vid. Mike Trout better be 1

You're a good man Marc and I'm a Mets fan myself, but there's no way Brandon Nimmo is better than Michael Harris!!

IMO Michael Harris is going to be a superstar. He won rookie of the year after only playing after June 1st he's 21. MLB needs to promote this guy across the league because MLB has a shortage of American born black superstars. He can do it all and he does it the right way by outworking everyone. And he's playing for his hometown team so that's a marketable story too. But MLB has been given a gift with Julio Rodriguez and Michael Harris they need to do a better job of building stars like the NBA and the NFL do.

Love these ❤

These ranking videos make me so happy

I didn't know I needed these rankings in my life

This was a great vid! Just wondering Where George Springer is?

Can’t wait to see his correa vid

Varsho is gonna do so good this year

I love these videos bc I look at comments and watch ppl cry for others to not make Marc mega jokes but also content is elite keep going marx

Garrett Mitchell was my travel ball teammate dude is an absolute stud also believe he graduated from UCLA not Oregon

Awesome video! Just a question though, what position does Springer play?

I think this was the most accurate rankings you’ve done yet!

Alternative title: Since Mike Trout exist who is 2nd best

Really intrigued to see where he puts my boy Lars Nootbaar in the RF video

“And that’s why whoever uses this joke gets 0 bitches”

Hell yeah I love that you’re showing love to Trayce Thompson

The walk stuff with Harris will come with experience

I was at the game when Buxton made that catch!

Already day 7!!! Way to go mark

Thanks for giving Varsho love.

The fact that you put Nimmo over Harris is HILARIOUS

What’s up bro….I’m cuban and in the island we call Luis Robert like you guys American do (rObert ) I’ve been watching him since he was 15 years old,it’s a machine!!!!

Fans of the center field position may appreciate this all-time ranking. WAR/162 helps us compare players from different eras who played radically different numbers of games: #1 Mike Trout (9.3), #2 Willie Mays* (8.6), #3 Oscar Charleston** (8.5), #4 Ty Cobb (8.1), #5 Turkey Stearnes** (8.1), #6 Joe DiMaggio* (7.8), #7 Tris Speaker (7.8), #8 Mickey Mantle (7.6), #9 Willard Brown** (7.6), #10 Cristobal Torriente* (6.5), #11 Billy Hamilton (6.4), #12 Pete Browning (5.6), #13 Larry Doby (5.5), #14 Benny Kauf (5.5), #15 Lip Pike (5.5). (*) I have slightly adjusted the WAR/162 for players who lost prime years to military service; why penalize them for their heroism? (**) I think Negro League stats are a bit inflated because NeL players who later played in the majors invariably had lower batting averages, suggesting NeL pitching and defenses were not quite as good as those in the majors. WAR/162 tells us that Mike Trout has been a top five player of all time when he has been able to play. Before Trout's injuries, he had the most WAR of any player at ages 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 27, if I remember things correctly. Think about it: over 20,000 men have played in the majors and Trout was better than ALL of them until he started to miss substantial games with injuries. Babe Ruth accumulated most of his positional WAR starting at age 24, so he didn't pass Trout age-wise until his thirties, or around age 28 if we include his pitcher WAR. -- Michael R. Burch

Perfect list TBH

Pretty sure Garrett Mitchell went to UCLA. His wife, Haley Cruse, went to Oregon

Garrett Mitchell played at ucla, Marc

Glass Bones Buxton honestly can’t be top 3 until he plays a full season

Why would you get demonetized for saying Kike Hernández?? I'm trying to figure out what's offensive about it but can't figure it out

Side note, Topps update has a crazy good rookie class

Brandon Marsh is 100% a top 20 CF.

As a guardians fan this is a 100% generous ranking

Man, the Twins homer in me wants to be mad about Buck being #3 but it's fair. When he's on the field, he's clearly the second best CFer in all of baseball. A full season of Buxton is the only one that can possibly compete with a full season of Trout. But he's never on the field. If you were to draft a team right now, you take Julio over Buxton every time, both due to the health and the age.

W vid already n haven’t even watched it yet

Man I wish nothing but the best for Bellinger, dude was my fav Dodger and hated to see him in that slump 😔 I’m still going to wear my Bellinger Dodger jerseys 😎

Honestly like 10 through the 25 are interchangeable all these guys are pretty similar

As a Brewers fan I'm all aboard the Garrett Mitchell hype train. This guy is gonna be legit

“And that’s why Brandon Nimmo is the best CF in baseball going into the 2023 season”

These videos=W

I was so confused and abt to scream abt Leody but then I realized this is from last year lol.

King Trout sits at #1 great video.

Day 7 Is Here! And We Have CF.. Biggest Rise, Dalton Varsho 21 to 9 (12 spots) Biggest Drop, Myles Straw 😂 17 to 27 (10 spots) Nothing too big in CF

Carlson was actually dealing with injury for a lot of the year that he wasn’t telling anyone about. And he overall still missed time this year

Byron Buxtons injuries really holds the Twins back and if he can stay healthy the Twins will do better. (I'm a Twins fan)

LETS GO LUBOB, I MET THAT GUY, HES SUPER NICE HES THE NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD

Enrique Hernandez is underrated here but outside of that it’s a very good list

Honestly J-Rod at 2 isn't even a reach. Legitimately could have a 950-1000 ops season next year.

I’d say straw should be a bit higher prob like 20-25 range just bc he is so valuable in the field and on the bases

Putting Bellinger way up there is some serious copium. Bellingers a good defender, but even Marsh is a better defender and not nearly as bad offensively, yet was 4 spots lower?

I'm just waiting for him to go crazy

JULIOOO!!! Go Mariners!

You're 1-9 were great, although, I would have Nimmo a little lower and Varsho a little higher.

Varsho a blue jay now! Excite to see him in blue

Sleeping on belli a bit because his hitting is improving slowly so he should be somewhere between 10-15

And that is why “this joke isn’t funny anymore”

I have barely even watched the video and I already know Mike Trout is #1 on this list once again (not that there's anything wrong with that because he is a God).

I gotta say all those picks seem pretty true

As a big Mariners fan I agree with Julio #2 and trout at #1 since Trout is still incredibly good, although Julio will take over #1, but yet again every time I see Trout play he is so good, and still kills the Mariners.

Yo Marc are we gonna get a video on Correa going to the Mets

If I watch this and it isn’t mike trout at 1 there will be issues Update: He was

Ahhh gotta love Marc with the Mets bias 😂

"And that's why brandon nimmo is the best center fielder in baseball"

Finally someone said Luis Robert’s name right

Mets signed correa

@Noah Gr… Brandon Nimmo is a good lead off hitter with minimum power . His defensive skills are suspect , with an arm that couldn’t throw out a 92 year old lady , will be taken advantage of by taking the extra base on him , and tagging on medium fly balls. So if that makes him a MVP , seeing Jesus won’t be impossible.

Carlson played through a wrist injury most of the year. I expect a solid bounce back from him

i feel like we should count judge as a center he played it pretty much all year and was outstanding

As a brewers fan I can definitely think of one time Trent Grisham was not so good in the out field

I better see judge at 1 tomorrow😄😄😄

"Hits like a little baby" 😆 🤣

I don't blame you for putting Cody Bellinger where you did

I think nimmo is really good but putting him at 4 is a bit of a stretch ahead of bryan Reynolds’s mickael harris and cedric mullins. He should be behind them nick

how many center folders can be “one of the best defenders in the game”

Mark you said Victor Robles had a .584 SLG and I legit spit my water out - I see where you were going

Garrett Mitchell went to UCLA not Oregon

Hopefully mark puts judge as a center fielder

Can't wait for next years rankings. Luis will be 2

Given his numbers in an injury plagued season I think trout probably would’ve matched if not improved upon judges season including homers
