Ranking The Top 25 MLB Players Under 25 

Thank you so much! One day I promise you I'll make it

Thank you!

Appreciate it!

Thank you!

Agreed. If he can improve his offense, he can be a 5 WAR player in 2024

He’s only going to get worse and worse. Last season was probably his best season of his career. Teams will figure him out and he will regress.

@@otgbaby4615 if that’s true then why do players develop over time all the time? If teams can so easily “figure someone out” why aren’t all players stagnant and getting worse over time? Horrible take.

@@culpabledread5397 he’s 5 foot 9 inches tall bro, he’s not going to do much once they really figure him out. It’s like a high schooler going against college level athletes.

@@otgbaby4615 Jose altuve’s having a pretty good career and he’s 5’6 what’s your point?? If teams could “figure guys out” there’s only be one year wonders in the league and no one would be a superstar. Why haven’t teams “figured out” Acuna? Why haven’t they “figured out” Ohtani?

I agree, but it's close enough that I'm not mad about it. Corbin's an absolute monster and I think "who's the best outfielder in baseball" is going to end up coming down to Julio and Corbin for the next decade or so.

I wouldn’t be upset at that. They’re both very similar players all around

I expect him to get better for sure. Wasn't too long ago he was the number 1 pitching prospect in the league

I think Colton cowser will eventually be pretty damn good

I'm not too sure. Like yeah, he's got more pure power, but Witt made Royals history.

@@KuroKazama Im an Orioles fan, sure it leads to bias, but Gunnar is electric, factor that in with a good team to motivate him even more to be a star, and he’s an MVP type guy. My pick this year

@@ethancruzbaseball That's understandable, but honestly? I've got Witt - *and I'm going AGAINST my bias disdain of the Royals.*

So thing like two in my open so rigged right???❓❓❓❓❓❓

I think you can for sure make the argument about him being better than Witt, but J-Rod and Carroll are just better right now

I'm livid that he isn't I understand he didn't have an insane rookie year but the fact that he's not on here over the guys lower on the list especially elly de la Cruz he was better than him by a wide margin elly is just a flashy player but cardinals players usually get shit on

Good offensively, horrible defensively

@@BlakeRobins0n With it being his first year in the outfield, then yes, he will struggle. He has a very good teacher in Willie McGee teaching him more this year.

​@@tylerbenlien6093 not by a wide margin LoL. Elly had 100 less at bats and is projected to be a better player by far. Elly will be a 30-60 player in his prime and could turn in a season similar to Acuna Jr, Jordan Walker isn't doing that

Yeah, probably should have included Bailey honestly. Probably would put him in the 18-23 range, something around there

I hope

The big reason why Walker didn’t make the list is because of how awful his defense was. He posted negative bWAR as a result of it

@@BlakeRobins0n I get that, but he is still a top player under 25, and he is going to have a great season this year. I would also bet on league average defense at worst. Kid has been working all offseason.

Thank you!

Totally. He already did that in his rookie season. Not sure if I ever see him being a consistent 30+ hitter, but definitely like him to be a 20 home run/20 double guy every year

That’s fire

Possibly, but people have been ranking Baz high for like 4 years now

Vladdy will be 25 on Opening Day, that’s the only reason he isn’t on the list

I like G-Rod a lot, but I haven't seen enough from him yet in the majors. I would compare him to Brandon Pfaadt right now. Started out very rough in the majors but has been better lately. Main reason I went with Pfaadt is because he showed success in the postseason

@@BlakeRobins0n that's fair. He had 1 bad start the last 3 months of the season and it was his only postseason start against Texas.

I get what your saying however use some foresight, top prospects with incredible stuff, who was dominate in the second half, your logic doesn’t add up because Perez did the same thing but in reverse . Good first half bad second. No hate on him just pointing out the Grayson miss. Good list otherwise .

@@purrellbarnett8592 Wow. I actually didn't even realize how bad Eury Perez was until I looked up his last 10 starts. A 5.08 ERA and 5.26 FIP is horrendous. Crazy how these young pitchers with insane stuff can still get absolutely destroyed by major league hitters. Seems like GRod made his adjustments and figured it out while the rest of the league adjusted to Eury and figured him out. That's baseball. Gotta constantly make those minor adjustments.

Thank you, means so much to me. One day I will hopefully

@@BlakeRobins0n you should do a poll and ask if there Subscribed or not. If not say subscribe

@@martinythegreat808 or he can just make amazing content and people will choose to subscribe on their own. ;)

Pretty insane. He HAS to trim it down to have a long career

​@BlakeRobins0n and you have him on this list over jordan walker how funny 😂

​@@tylerbenlien6093 Walker isn't close to Elly, he will put up 30 hrs and 60 SB possibly this year. Elly put up 15 hrs and 29 SB in half the at bats he would get in a full season. As he gets older his average will go up and his strikeouts will go down

Definitely could have made the list for sure. I think he'll improve a lot in 2024 and build off of what he did in the 2nd half of this past season

For sure. I have him breaking out this season in a video I made about a month ago. Really like his stuff

Carroll is definitely better than Witt in my opinion. Does just about everything better

@@BlakeRobins0n I disagree. But everyone is entitled to their opinion. Witt is my favorite player atm so I’m a bit biased

Witt just needs to get on base more

@@danlewellen7883 He's a great player and a lot of fun to watch. One of my best friends played with him in high school so I've been following him for a bit longer than most people

@@BlakeRobins0n that’s pretty dope

He posted negative bWAR in his rookie season because of how bad his defense was

I just can’t put him on this list yet. He posted negative bWAR in his rookie season because of how awful his defense was

He’s gonna be very good though sleeper mvp pick?

@@Cardinal_Clips Sleeper all-star pick maybe, MVP I don't see. There's just too many superstars in the National League like Betts, Freeman, Ohtani, Acuna, Olson and Tatis for him to win it

​@BlakeRobins0n he picked it up at the end of the year but ellys strikeout numbers aren't enough to knock him off that's the most bullshit argument I've ever fucking heard 😂

​@@tylerbenlien6093 because Elly will hit more hrs and stolen bases and will be the more electric player. His strikeouts will go down as he grows

He is 25 not under 25😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That's bold. I like Witt Jr. but those two guys are just better right now honestly imo

Also I was about to say glad jr but I relalized I’m 9 days off😢

Davis Schneider will be 25 on Opening Day so he couldn’t have made the list

Ok

Yeah I should have put him here honestly

For sure

He’s only played 40 total games though. Tons of players have won World Series’ at young ages, doesn’t mean any more than players who won them at old ages. I think he’s fantastic though and will be Top 7 or 8 if I redo the list next year

Bro so true like he should be a 10

Or some shit

He was not great overall in his rookie season. He’s not better than anyone in the Top 15 right now

@@BlakeRobins0n are you sure that volpe is better tho

He slumped pretty hard after that hot start

I’m a Dodgers fan, how am I a homer for the Dbacks? I just think Corbin is better

You're not a Dodgers fan because you should like a player for a team in the same division your team. I have seen Corbin in Reno before he came to the DBacks. He wasn't all that impressive in Reno.

Why would Corbin need another playoff appearance to be placed above JRod? JRod's only been to the Division series in 2022 and missed the playoffs altogether in 2023-Corbin having been to the World Series in his rookie year isn't enough for you?

@@user-ce6pp6rs4n Carroll put up a .943 OPS in Reno. If that isn't impressive, what is?

@@BlakeRobins0n not in a full season,dude. That would be impressive. That was combined with Double A dude. Big woopied do. I will be more impressed if he can keep it up during a full major league season.

I haven’t seen enough from him yet to put him above any of these guys. I do think he’ll improve a lot offensively in 2024 though

Caroll and Julio are basically the same players skill-wise. Definitely could have been interchangeable

Corbin is better

Julio is better than Corbin

Nuh uh

Julio is better

I wouldn't rank him above anyone who I have higher than him honestly. I know people mentioned Alvarez, but talent-wise I think he has Casas beat

@@BlakeRobins0nIk it’s hard sometimes to compare positions but for first basemen’s in general Casas is well better than Torkelson

Agreed talent wise, but he’s played a lot less games than him and everyone else above him, so I felt like I couldn’t rank him much higher than I did

@@BlakeRobins0n even so, he hit 3 hole for the WS champs and was a machine on both sides of the ball regular and postseason

@@k-roolklappah8112 For sure, but Davis Schneider also just had a monstrous stretch in the short amount of time he played. I wouldn't say he's better than Volpe at all

Adley is already 25 and turns 26 in two weeks

Your right I totally forgot

I don't know what's crazy about it. There numbers are almost identical, yet Carroll is better defensively and just led his team to the World Series as a 6 seed

@@BlakeRobins0nCarrol posted 4 OAA and Julio put up 12 and has a significantly better arm. Both great but Julio is better

@@BlakeRobins0n are you serious? Julio is way better defensively

​@@mathewbreh3081 but Carroll is a better hitter. Higher average, higher OBP, higher OPS, more stolen bases, all with 100 less at bats than Julio. I know the averages and percentages would go down with more at bats, but his Doubles, triples, HRs, RBIs, SBs would all go up to Julio's numbers, but with more triples and SBs. Plus leading his team to a World Series

Frelick is solid but hasn't shown enough at the major league level yet. Everyone in this list has either been good for about a full season or elite in a short time span

They’re both 26

Maybe not right now, but by this time next year, the list will look a lot better. Everyone in the Top 5 will still be younger than 25 years old by the start of next season

Can’t put him any higher after 40 games

@@BlakeRobins0n I feel like he can easily be top five after this year

Tatis is 25 years old, this video ranks every player under 25

@@BlakeRobins0n my bad. I thought he was still 24 lol

He hasn’t proven to me that he’s better than anyone in the Top 10 yet

McClain did better than Elly. Elly is just flashy at this point.

He’ll be 25 by Opening Day so he didn’t qualify for the list

Not better than J-Rod or Corbin

Wander Franco is never going to play in MLB again. Not sure if you've followed his story over the past 4-5 months

How is there no way? He does almost everything the same as him, if not better

Why? His offense was about average for a catcher and his defense was elite. Overall, he’s in the right spot

Carter hasn't played enough for me to rank him higher. I'm sure he'll be higher by the time I make this video again next year

He posted negative bWAR in his rookie season. He was worse than a replacement player. Until his defense improves, he won’t ever be a great player
