Reacting to MLB Top 100 Players Right Now 

Rent must’ve gone up this year bro has been active on RU-vid 😂

Stand up for Marc for the consistent uploads. We love to see it These lists are subjective and all and even with all the disagreements I have, I just hate how they grouped a bunch of position players together pretty deliberately

“ this is why Brandon nimmo is the best player in the MLB”

Saying Bichette isn't a top 50 player is wild. If he didn't get hurt last year he would've led the AL in hits for the 3rd straight year. And he's not just a contact guy he has power and speed. His defense in the past was why u could make that case but he drastically improved their too. I think Bichette can finish in the top 20 this year if he take another step.

Mark arguing Ozzie Albies is underrated...? What alternate universe am I in

Fried isn't top 50?! He's 22-8 with a sub 2.5 ERA in the last two years!

A healthy Max Fried season is easily a top 50 player. I believe the year before last he finished second in cy young voting. When he pitched last season he was phenomenal.

Luis Arraez is one of the top 10 best hitters in baseball. it gets him into that top 40-50 range, in fact, id say hes about around top 35 imo, not that good defensively but on 1B he does a good job.

Max fried not a top 50? 😂

One thing I've noticed over the years is that they LOVE grouping player positions together. You'll extremely often see 3 pitchers or 3 catchers or 3 3rd basemen in a row.

Marc's arguments are on how he feels. Zero stats supporting his claims that Arraez isn't a top 50 player despite having an .860 ops and a top 30 WAR

Luis arraez is a dawg and can routinely hit .350 every year, definitely top 50

“This is why Starling Marte is the greatest baseball player of all time.”

Idk why but Marc was giving me Tony Romo vibes throughout the video. "ahh ehhh I don't know"

I mean yes, in the current game batting average isn’t seen as /that/ valuable, but when your BA is nearing .400 that definitely means *something* top 50 for Arraez is definitely not a surprise for me. I mean his OPS+ was 133 last year and WAR was a smidge under 5 at 4.9

i think you’re really undervaluing Moreno and his ability to catch runners stealing. Especially with all the rule changes making it easier to steal.

I would agree with you on not ranking relievers highly. I'm a Brewer fan and feel like Hader was great, but also a one-trick pony with his fastball. He is just a reskinned Rob Dibble with a better attitude. However, Devin Williams is another thing entirely. He doesn't just overpower hitters, he makes them look foolish. On top of that, he is still finding his leadership legs after Hader left. Watch for him to break out as more than just a relief pitcher, but a clutch leader as well.

This a new record of videos uploaded apart from 12 days of Christmas

Marc would've been ticked off if Bryson Stott was in the top 100 lol

Love the vids

I love this consistent upload schedule

There just has to be an influx in insanely good position players cause Nola not being top 100 is surprising… especially considering going by his career path he will (most likely) have a great season this year

He’s saying Bichette isn’t too 50?? That’s crazy

Love ur videos

Bichette is not held in prospect pedigree. I don’t know if he’s in my top 50 either but he’s have 3 straight seasons of excellent hitting

Stott must have done something to this man

Consistent uploads. Consistent bangers

hi Marc, another amazing vid!

Jose Ramirez also had great defense against Tim Anderson

Marc is on that grind, crazy linsainty run from bro

Marc, Foolish and Jolly Olive should do a collaborative list where they debate every player and ranking

MLB Network: Luis Arraez 43 Marc: 😱💀😫

Contact hitters can also be good players!

3.22 era and a 1.13 WHIP for Verlander was “not looking good”? Idk there Marc I gotta disagree on that, that’s still really good I agree with most of your points tho!

Great video Marc but Cole is dominant! (just not against the Sox lmaoo)

dansby swanwson wasnt even a league average hitter last year, 99 ops+ vs crawfords 131 ops+. WHAT?!!!

Marc turned into Tim Kurkjian during that Luis Arraez rant 😂

The arrested development F bomb bleep😂

Bichette has improved substantially with his defence, not sure you can make that argument anymore

And so Nico Hoerner continues to be one of the most overlooked players. Seriously, how tf do they have Dansby at 67 but Hoerner doesn’t even make the list?

Just got off the phone with MLB Network and they said you missed the last part of their list where Bryson Stott was given a numberless ranking of "Ultimate Pinnacle of Baseballing Ability" and was their unanimous best player in the league. Just thought you should know

and this is why Pete Alonso is not only the best player in baseball right now but the greatest first baseman of all time.

Marc: Whatever, he's a reliever, that's fine. future Marc: Fuck no! Relievers in the top 50, come on?

I just discovered your channel. I love your content. You do a great job. You are straight delulu about some of your Mets takes though but it’s part of the charm I guess.also, you can’t use mainstream media to justify your Mets takes bc they have east coast bias also. Case in point, no one gave a darn about Edwin Diaz walk up song when he played out in the west. Now people write it’s the greatest entrance ever. Same guy, Same Song different team and time zone…..

Castillo borderline?! Trippin

Umm has no one noticed that Mitch Keller didn’t even made the top 100 players wasn’t he a NL Cy Young candidate?

Harper: 3.7 bWAR in 126 games, bad defensively Marc: EASILY TOP 15 PLAYER, PROBLY TOP 10 Arraez: 4.9 bWAR in 147, mid/average defensively Marc: HOW IS THIS GUY IN THE TOP 50????????

Marc I don’t know if you agree but I think Nico Hoerner (one of my favorite players) was Snubbed!! 5.1 war 175 hits and more then double the war of everyone 100-90 think he definitely deserved it over someone like josh naylor

Nico Hoerner is a top 100 player with 40+ stolen bases and a 5+ WAR

I had Witt at two

Schwarber at 57 is an absolute crock... A .185 BA and 200 strikeouts every year is HARDLY the fringe of top 50, I have him at 73.

Mike trout not in top 10 is crazy

Bo Bichette 100% top 50 player in MLB rn. Although vladdy with a 1 war last year should be lower than 52 praying for a bounce back year from him🙏🙏🙏

Although diaz is great remember he's been injured all year and Williams is slept on lol

Don't get being low on Bo Bichette. Guy batted over .300 and had a 123 OPS+ last year and 5 WAR in 123 games. He's more than deserving to be a Top 50 player in baseball

Ah, a fellow Kyle tucker respecter. Kudos to you. My #1 baseball card PC player.

Maybe a separate top 25 pitcher, and top 75 batters would make more sense?

Fried might not be in my top 50 but imo ur reaction to it was too egregious. Also I’m sick and tired of the Luis arraez disrespect I am taking him over Bregman a million days a week over Bregman.

Marc advocating for Ozzie Albie's was not on the 2024 bingo card

THE UPLOADS! IS IT SAFE TO SAY MARK IS BACK!

I mean, Glasnow is pretty good. His numbers were decent last year, but he’s a significant injury risk every year, and availability is one of the most important things, so I don’t know if I would say he’s a top 50 player. I think 74 is okay for him.

Arraez is a top 50 player easily, I think his ranking is spot on. For you to almost bat .400 against this league’s pitching is insane

Corey seager plays plus defense at a premier position and had better offensive numbers yet is behind Mookie?

I think people sleep on the value of good starting pitching, I liked where Cole was personally but there should’ve been more starters higher on the list.

Wilson Contreras had the highest OPS in the 2nd half and a 440OBP him being near his brother isn’t that crazy

I think MLB rankings did the ranking by positions first. Then if they felt the same on a group of players In 1 position they just put that group in together in the rankings. That’s why you see a lot of one position together plus the bias show on some players

I am gonn say, i feel like your opinion on Bo Bichette is pretty teinted.. He isnt an awefull defender anymore, he is league average at worst and with that bat, he is definitely a top 50 player in baseball

Another year...another list with just one SF Giant on it...being an SF fan is tough sometimes

Max fried is a cy young level pitcher

I think many of these lists focus too much on plate production. I know Billy Beane taught us that the only thing the matters is getting on base, but I'm old school, and like to see rounded, complete players, who can play defence. Too many Outfielders are given extra credit for hitting bombs, but their throwing errors, lack of range, or just plain mediocrity in the field are overlooked. Similarly, Infielders and their run saving ability is ignored, when assessing their play. For example, although both were excellent, so I'm not criticising either, I thought Henderson had a better rookie year than Carroll, and is more valuable to his team, yet both yourself and MLB rate Carroll about 10 places higher. Just to stress, I'm not saying Carroll can't field, just that a good SS saves many more runs than a RF, and this is never factored into their contribution or ability.

I like the fact they ranked Luis Arraez at 43, because imo I value batting average a ton, if you’re one of the best player at getting on base wether it’s a single or walk 95% of the time you’re a top 50 player idc what anyone says! Not to mention Arraez RARELY Strikes out!

Lots to say about ur comments but saying Christian Walker isn’t at least borderline top 50 is crazy he’s so underrated.

I think MLB network pretty much hit the nail on the head, especially with the top 10. There’s a few you can argue, but overall very solid list

I know as a mets fan Max Fried must have hurt you in some painful way, but penalizing the dude for missing a little over half of the season last year is insane. Over the past 4 seasons, he's averaged a 2.66 ERA (164 ERA+) and 3.9 WAR (6.4 WAR/162 to account for last years injury). He's better and healthier over his career than Snell and is the closest we've seen on the left side to vintage Kershaw (still not fully at that level tho) in a long time.

Wdym verlander was okay and didn’t look good, he had a 3.15 ERA with the Mets and a 3.31 ERA with the Astros that’s a 131 ERA+ and he had a 3.5 WAR he deserves to be in the top 70 also 3.85 FIP

Ozzie Albies is one of the top 30 players in the game. That is their biggest snub by far.

You underestimate Max Fried. Dude has a career 3.03 ERA in over 120 starts (for comparison Garrit Cole's is 3.17). Fried has been one of the best pitches in the league since 2019 and still gets little respect.

72 for yelich u agree but say Springer isn’t 76😂 cmon mark

Biggest disagreement was the Bichette hate, but I didn’t like Cole in the top 10 (best pitcher in mlb rn yes but doesn’t feel like a top 10 player in baseball) didn’t like Ohtani at 4, he’s a dh this year drop him and Alvarez to around 8 and 9. Mike trout is still a top 10 player in baseball, Judge over Acuña, Betts still at #2 cuz of past consistency. Love freeman at 5 just has not had a bad season basically ever also missed like less than 20 games total over the past 6 years. Not a huge fan in the aggressive rankings of sophomore players like Carroll and Henderson love both players and been high on them the past few years but can’t really put them that high off one season

Saying Bo is a bad fielder after he had 5 DRS is definitely a choice

In my eyes Max Fried is the single best pitcher in baseball, because of how badly he hurts my Dodgers. We can never hit him, it's insane.

“i dont see how you put a first basemen over an outfeilder” -marc also mark 1 spot later “pete alonso number 37 yes we matched”

The Yelich hate is craazzy, he’s gonna shock everyone and have an insane bounce back year!!!!!

The Marlins disrespect is insane

Christian Walker is criminally underrated

Love your honest and emotional assessment. Starting to enjoy your content again

6:41 Marc

Bro says he loves Gunnar at 35 when bo is better then him cmon mark be fr😂

Dude Max Fried since 2020 has made 83 starts and is 43-15 with an ERA of 2.66 and a FIP of 3.02. He’s averaged about 4 WAR in that time span despite missing significant time and 2020 being a shortened season. I don’t understand your reaction to his top 50 status at all.

No offense to Glasnow but at some point in your career you have to prove you can stay healthy.

“The ones I agree on weirdly enough are the Mets players”

I agree with you in this vid more than I usually do. Really enjoy your content though, even if you are a Mets fan.

honestly i get why dansby swanson is on the list but I dont feel as though he should be that high, honestly i think his partner to his left, nico hoerner, is probably slightly better overall than dansby but dansby just hit more homeruns than nico and thats the only thing i really see that sets them apart

w content

There is no excuse not to have Bryce top 10 that’s insane

bro analytics have destroyed baseball. Arraez just hit .354 and this nerd is freaking out about him being just inside the TOP 50!! Unreal. He had a 4.9 bWAR its a completely justified ranking. My goodness

Luis Robert stealing 35-40 bases? He had 20 last year in 145 games. It would be beyond shocking if he even cracked 25

You always make me laugh, you dont see how 4.3 war cal raleigh is better than 1.7 war tristan casas? LMAOO

no jorge soler or jung ho lee??? (im a giants fan)

It's Hilarious that they didn't have Gleyber Torres in the top 100 but they have Elly. LMAO
